Problem

So, the last 4 times I booted my laptop, a disk consistency check (chkdsk) got launched twice without errors found. It made me wonder what could be reasons for Windows to schedule a chkdsk. Anyone? Please name anything you can think of.

Fix for: What triggers a chkdsk?

Low Risk

Windows marks the suspected corrupted volume with a "dirty" bit, you could have a hard drive failing, I suggest you back up your Important data Now. Then test your ram and hard drive http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/How-to-test-RAM…
