Hard Drisk corrupted

[purple stain]

Is it possible after lots of times of the system crashing that the hard drive can become unstable and randomly crash?
Possibly become premanetly corrupted?

All drives fail it's just a matter of time.

A drive can crash due to a physical/mechanical failure. Run this to test your drive http://hddscan.com/

Or the drive may be fine and you have a logical/software failure that causes a crash.

So no, a drive cannot fail just because you've crashed it a bunch of times?


Alright i have the program,how do i run a test?

 

[FreeDataRecovery]

Crashes caused stricktly by software will not normally harm a drive.

First select the drive then click SMART. Then if you want click tasks and run a read test.

What about crash's realted to overclocking?

 

[FreeDataRecovery]

Overclocking crashes should not harm a drive.

Excessive heat and vibration and age and power surges/bad power supplies and poor air quality can cause harm.

Test came back all green.Guess no problems.Must be something to do with the software.I've tryed reinstalling Windows but that doesn't work either.

Thanks for your help.

Your drive appears fine but at this point I would suspect a hardware problem check your memory with memtest.

As a test to rule out a software problem you could install Linux and see if you have similar issues.
