unspecified error occurred” with error code CHKDSK

[Angelika]

Sometimes I get a CHKDSK error corrupted pagefile.sys file if I use programs intensively (requiring a lot of paging 10GB+ or 100% physical memory12+GB)

In this case, repair /r does not work, only /f work.
Can not access the SSD volume.

A Chkdsk command fails with an unspecified error on a Windows 7-based or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that uses a low frequency AMD CPU (Intel)

You can reduce the amount of memory the machine uses by unchecking items in your Startup menu.

Do you have the pagefile system set to auto or have you manually set it ?

How much RAM do you have installed - if your machine will allow it, as you are running memory intensive then you should consider increasing it or lessen your overall use as your machine in its current state cannot handle it.

[Angelika]

It does not matter because it's a System error from Microsoft. It happens rarely,

My CPU i5 4690K ASUS

!!!

Cause
This issue occurs because of a Divide By Zero exception in the Chkdsk command.

At startup, the system does not use much RAM - if I want to check during the next boot

Then download the Hotfix.

[Angelika]

This update is already installed in the System. It always has all updates, so it has no further use.
The problem is that I have an Intel platform, and the update only applies to AMD.
I had a similar problem a year ago, but I do not know any other better solutions anymore.
In rare (!!!) cases you can not use the disk for direct access.
Unless chkdsk /R does not apply in the case of damage to pagefile.sys because it is newly created when the computer is restarted.
So nowhere on the internet there are better solutions. Perhaps this is a rare case and the developers do not know about it.

You wouldn't run a chkdsk /r on a SSD anyway as it would cause unnecessary wear and is not necessary.

Do you have a Win 7 install disk or USB you can boot up with to navigate to the recovery environment cmd prompt and run the chkdsk /f from there ?

You would first need to enter bcdedit !find "osdevice" to find where it sees the volume, as it doesn't always see it in C: in that mode.

You would then use that partition letter instead of my x and enter the cmd as chkdsk x: /f

For clarity, that's a Pipe symbol before find and is the uppercase of \

TRIM is usually default enabled when you fit a SSD but it's worth checking to see if it is.

To determine if there's anything wrong with the SSD I would download the 30 day trial version of HD Sentinel.

This will give a written report on its status.

Select the first one under Limited Trial / Free Versions and then uninstall it when done to stop the clock on it where you will be able to run it as and when in future.

What you write about is familiar to me, and I have no problems with the disc. I have been using HDS for many years.

Code: [Select]

The status of the solid state disk is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors were not found.
The TRIM feature of the SSD is supported and enabled for optimal performance.
The health is determined by SSD specific S.M.A.R.T. attribute(s):  #231 SSD Life Left

No actions needed.
I have only rare problems with the structure of files, CHKDSK run regularly and there are no problems, only occasionally. I do not want to change to Win10 because there is another file system. NTFS is old.

Previous error

Code: [Select]

CHKDSK checks indexes (level 2 of 3)

Have you tried deleting the pagefile system, rebooting and setting it back to Windows auto ?

[Angelika]

My system automatically creates about 10-12 GB paging file, sometimes it's not enough.

The web browser and Everything TOOL and explorer.exe consume the most RAM !!! but this is normal !

[Boggin]

What is Everything TOOL and does it need to be running ?

If you are trying to do more than the machine can manage on its current RAM then you will either need to increase the RAM if that is possible, or do less.

Tom:

The "Everything" software is a file search application for Windows.  Please see this link: https://www.voidtools.com/.

I run it on my own computers.  It is faster than the native Windows File Search, but it does continually index all file system changes to achieve its performance edge.

Have a great day.

[Boggin]

Thanks, Phil.

From your link it says it's low on resources, but how much memory and CPU does it use on your machine ?

[garioch7]

Tom:

It is not too hard on the CPU, but it does consume RAM, and it can interfere occasionally with a "Safely Eject" on an external drive that it has not finished indexing.

I have attached a Task Manager screen snip from my computer.

Have a great day.
