I've been suffering from seemingly random halts and crashes on my new PC, so I ran HDDScan to check for any hard drive faults. It shows no bad sectors and no sectors in the <500 or >500 ms range. However during the scan I get four or so access violation error messages. Is this normal or is it a sign of a HDD problem?

Thanks for your help!

Anyone?

Where did you put your HDD ? on USB box or directly to the IDE port ? If you are using USB box, maybe the USB chipset is bad.

Anyway, i'm interested to discuss this problem further, you can contact me using Yahoo Messenger.

scan hdd in victoria or MHDD because most of us dont use Hdd scan here so scan hdd with these softwares and tell what happened i may further help u.

The hard drive is in SATA port. Also, the Windows Check Disk utility finds no errors with the HDD, the only diagnostic fault is the Access Violation produced by HDDScan. Need to run that MHDD and see what it says.

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately I don't have Yahoo Messenger.

Can you try format the drive and copy a big size of files and check with HDDScan again ? Any changes ?
