Is this cause for concern?

system HDD has started making clicking noises.

system HDD has started making clicking noises.

This is usually an indication that the HD is failing, and may also be
the cause of the Blue Screen. It is also possible that a hardware
problem is developing with the HD interface circuitry or cable.

Hard drives are fairly inexpensive these days, and often on sale for
less than $100.

Generally, yes. How current are your backups?

I did one last night with Ghost15. I guess I can use this to copy
the failing disk over to a new one.

You can find tools that can read the minidump file.

C:\Windows\Minidump\061411-57299-01.dmp

I have a copy of dumpchk.exe here, from Microsoft. You
can get it, by looking for a download of some debug tools
from Microsoft, so you end up doing a fairly large
download, to get the tiny executable. I don't think
you can get just dumpchk.exe as a separate download.

This is another example of a minidump reader. I haven't
downloaded or tested this.

Basically, all you're looking for there, is the name
of a driver (if it is a hardware problem of some sort).
For example, if you have several minidump files, and
they all mention an Nvidia driver nv*** then you would
suspect your video card or the driver installed to make
the video card work.

If that BCCode value of 50, is the actual STOP code, you can
look up stop codes here.

the failing disk over to a new one.

Since you have a backup - - disk utilities can be used to see if the HD
is failing. Windows, third party, or even one from the HD mfr that may
be specific to the HD. You might also find that there is a HD firmware
update available that relates to the problem.

More tools, more opportunities to play.

Hi Peter,

As stated by other, your hard drive is definitely going out.
You need to take measures before it goes out altogether,
such as a backup.

Hared drives are cheap these days both in price and quality.
If you want a better hard drive that will give better
services than the cheapos at Best Buy, try a Seagate Enterprise
drive. Or if a laptop, try a Seagate G-force drive.

Also, bear in mind if this is a Levono laptop, you have to
use Lenovo's replacement parts, as Lenovo has sniffers in their
bios to stop you from using other peoples parts. (Hope they get
sued over that one and stop the practice sometime soon.)

Sued by whom? Lenovo is made in China and who has got the guts to go
after them. China is one country on this planet where yanks can't go
around to bomb it. Chinese will make sure that Obama's face is covered
in black soot (if need be!) before blasting his ass!

Don't talk rubbish boy! You can bomb stupid Muslims but not Chinese!

You have a point. Relegate it to wishful thinking.

Experience.

Got stunk trying to upgrade a non-Lenovo branded hard drive in
a Lenovo Thinkpad (my favorite laptop by the way). Also spend
several calls to Lenovo's tech support on the subject. Their
excuse is that they want to gauranty replace parts actually
work (they re-brand them and charge triple).

Levono's tech support is very good by the way: they are IBM folks
out of Atlanta George. This no Lenovo parts thing is the only
thing I don't like about their Thinkpads.

The bios also bitches regularly about non-branded replacement
batteries in their laptops too.

Here is an article about altering the bios. I am sure you
can google around and find others.

BCCode: 50 and translation

0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced.
Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible
software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop
message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a
flawed PCI card).

This error message is caused by a kernel driver that is installed by the following
known rootkit spyware programs:
a.. Msupd5.exe
b.. Reloadmedude.exe
Also one or more of your memory cards is defective or not seated properly

Thanks, I ran a scan on the system disk and the system found errors:

****

Deleted corrupt attribute list entry with type code 128 in the file
83341.
Deleting corrupt attribute list entry with type code 128 in file
83341.
Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, 0886F409)
ditto
from file record segment 83341.
76 reparse record processed.
....and similar which I couldn't record.

********

The disk has stopped clicking. Many viruses were found by Windows
Security essentials.


I rushed out and bought a new HDD, a 1Tb WD "Enterprise Storage"
WD1003FBYX. I'll transfer all from the old disk to this when I
figure out how.

I have downloaded the Seagate diagnostics at:
http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.j...toid=552bd20cacdec010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD

and ran the tests. All the results gave no errors.

By chance is the processor an Intel (SandyBridge?)
If so you may have a bad support chip set if the chipset is a 67 series.

One other off the wall problem that I've had with some AMD chipset based
MBD's using PhenomII processors had to do with memory that passes all
testing, yet has random seemingly unrelated errors. Dropping the memory
clock speed one step and dinking around with the timing cured the
problem. (400 instead of 533) and Using T1 instead of T2)
Occasional HD errors were reported, along with other errors. Turned out
that the memory supplier overspec'ed the memory and never did own up.
And, to add confusion, the memory started acting up several weeks after
install and lengthy burn-in on two different motherboards. (Two sets of
the same 2Gx2 DDR2 memory sticks by part number) The same support
chipset was on both MBD's.

Heavens, it's an "Intel Core i7 970" model "BX806131I7970" and it
wasn't cheap. Is this a SandyBridge?

I have 12GB ram, 2Gb x 6 DDR3, (not cheap either) and I haven't
overclocked anything - yet.

http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=47933&code=Intel+Core+i7+970

The socket listed for the processor is LGA1366.

SandyBridge, I associate with LGA1155. There is more info here,
on the chipset bug (Cougar Point). That shouldn't apply to you,
as LGA1366 uses entirely different silicon (and probably no
native SATA III for example).
