Well when i restart, turn on my computer everything goes normal then a blue screen appears.
The blue screen has on it checking file system, type of file system NTFS.

One of my disks need to be checked for consistency. You may cancel disk check, strongly recommended not to. To skip disk check press any key then a count down from 10 seconds to one.

It then goes through 3 stages if you need any more detail then ask me. It is something to do with disk checking because i cant do a disk check on my E drive anymore.

Do you let it check your HD or do you skip it?

Well i have had this problem for about a month but im getting fed up of it i know somethings wrong a setting has been messed with but i dont know what. I let it go all the way through to see what happens but it still shows up on the next restart or shut down so i just skip it.

How old is your hard drive?
If it's more than 2 to 3 years old just replace it. You can check in your event log to see if there have been any drive problems.
Right click your "my computer" left click "manage" and check all your logs. If you see Disk in there and it's telling you there's disk errors you probably need to get a new drive QUICK.

When the blue screen comes up again, write down the alphanumeric. This is also known as the STOP code. It will be similar to this: STOP 0x00000001

It will be in the first or second line of text at the top of the screen. It is hard to miss. Write it down and post it here and we should be able to diagnose it.

I do this all the time at work, hopefully its not a major problem.

Also, post the spec's of your computer because something in your hardware may have gone awry.

isnt E generally a CD Rom of sorts? Or I guess a seperate partition....I guess that might make sense...C: as primary partition, D: CD/DVD rom, and E:.....Backup partition maybe?

People that say to reformat your hard drive to fix problems should move to a third world country, and get a job as tech support for some no name computer manufacturer.

Just do basic trouble shooting. Get the exact error, post it here, or swap parts to find the faulty piece.

there is a little battery on your motherboard. Remove it, and let it sit out for 30 minutes, then reinsert and turn on. the BIOS reset should clear everything up

You shoulda told him to write down his current BIOS/CMOS settings in case they were manually changed before.

In any case, I'd say get a working HD and switch it out with your current one and see if the same problem still exists.

If it does, then it's not your HD problem. (it'll probably a mobo problem where a BIOS reset may solve the problem)

If the problem doesn't come up again w/ the working HD, I'd suggest you get another HD and maybe an external for backup.

Just from the stuff I've read here, it sounds like you HDD IS going. From reading up top, it looks like your system is reading a bad sector that cannot be repaired. With a HDD it's not a matter of IF they'll die, it's WHEN. Some go sooner than others. I know, it sucks!! Sometimes your can hear it, sometimes not. But your symptoms are very similar to what happened to me, only my PC wouldn't boot at all!

One of my two 10,000 RPM raptors recently kacked on me... and I had RAID 0 (striped) set up... which means when one drive goes, EVERYTHING goes. But, that's the risk I took when I did it. And yes, thankfully I had everything valuable backed up. I just had to Ghost everything back down when I got the new one.

You could also try resetting your BIOS as well. That's also a good troubleshooter when you blue screen. Default everything and slowly start tweaking things back to where they were and see if it still blue-screens on ya.

One last thing you could also try if all else fails is getting a POST check-up PCI card. It's a little card that plugs into a PCI slot on your MB. On POST, if there are any errors, it will code it there for you to read off a little digital screen. Kind of a handy little tool if you aren't familiar with beep codes or other MB errors.

Hope I helped a little!

Wow a lot of the people in here are idiots. WTF remove the cmos battery because something related to WINDOWS and not the bios is telling you that one of your hard drives may possibly be fucked up.

I know its not a bios related msg because you would get a SMART drive error and it would tell you that your hard drive is going to die shortly and to back it up.

The answer quoted above pretty much is the closest you're going to get to a decent answer.

The hard drive may not be bad but may never be defraged on a regular basis and has data constantly put on it, removed, moved around, renamed. And you probably have windows restore on as well on said hard drive so its checking the disk for consistancy and if something doesnt pop up right for the computer you will get a random disk check for data consistancy.

I bet if you ran defrag on that drive in windows and did an analyze it will tell you the drive needs to be defragmented.

If anything before you write down code errors because you for one are not getting a blue screen of death. You are getting a standard dos based disk check because as I stated there is a data consistancy error on your drive. It just wants to make sure the drive is healthy and that there is no potential risk for failure which if thats infact your storage drive I WOULD LET THE DISKCHK RUN.

anyway check your event viewer (control panel/administrative tools/event viewer) and look to see if there is any reported hard drive errors.
