quickhelpneeded Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi guys,Sorry for posting up yet another BSOD topic, but I have searched the forums and not found a solution to my problem.Basically, I have been running utorrent for ages and it has never given me any problems. Infact, I can't remember the last time my PC gave me a BSOD... its a very stable system. Now though, since the last 24 hours or so, whenever I run utorrent, after about a minute or two the system freezes, I hear the hard drive make a repetitve writing/reading sound, and then the BSOD appears.The message (well the important bits anyway) I am getting is this:--------------------------------------------------------------------------KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR..........Technical Information:Stop: 0x0000007A (0xC03E26B0, 0XC0000185, 0XF89ACDAD, 0X102A5860)Ntfs.sys - Address F89ACDAD base at F895700, Datestamp 41107eea.----------------------------------------------------------------------------The only thing that has changed recently is that I have never had so many torrents listed at one time before (currently about 80).I have tried system restore and also upgrading to the latest version of utorrent, but to avail.Please help guys!

DreadWingKnight Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hard drive damage/failure is what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickhelpneeded Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 The thing is if its hardrive failure why is it only hapenning when utorrent starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 It may only be apparent when uT starts, but failures in ntfs.sys indicate either hard drive failure or filesystem damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickhelpneeded Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 So is this problem going to remain as it is or is my hardrive likely to fail completely in the next x hours/days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 It is possible your drive may fail.You should definetly do a full chkdsk on the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickhelpneeded Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 OK this may be the same thing, but I tried running utorrent again and got the BSOD once more. However this time the ntfs.sys file didn't show up on the error page, but the KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR message was still at the top.Is this still pointing to hard drive failure?

DreadWingKnight Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 It could potentially still be hard drive failure, but it could also be RAM failure.Either way, uTorrent is just triggering a problem elsewhere in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickhelpneeded Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Is there any kind of test I could do to see if its either the RAM or the hard drive at fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCS Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I recently had a power supply die that before finally biting the dust would cause hard drive errors by not supplying a stable 12v DC line to the drive and/or system.In my case it was unreliable HD writes that corrupted files which did not show up until the system was rebooted.Replacement of the power supply cured the problem. This, however, may not apply to your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
