    Okay, will do. I'm about to go to bed, so I'm running Macrorit now, and will run the other tests on the external drive tomorrow.

    Why is the external drive WAY slower to scan than the internal? I could understand some speed reduction, but the internal drive was done in 10 minutes, scanning at about 47gb/s. External drive is scanning at about 7gb/s, estimated to take 11 hours

    Log from the internal drive:

    Important Recommended Steps

    • Update all installed applications
    • Uninstall currently installed device drivers and then install latest version of the devices drivers.
    • Install all of the Windows important updates.
    • If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
    • Use SpeedFan to monitor temperatures in computers, overheating can cause BSOD.
    • Use Memtest86+ disc to check system memory's (RAM's) for errors.
    • Use CrystalDiskInfo to check SMART health report of the hard disk drive (HDD).
    • Use Prime95 to stress test your CPU
    • Use 3DMark to stress test your GPU

    Do you say to run it again simply to get a screenshot of the result? I still have it open, this was it:

    The computer can be used as usual while Macrorit is testing the external drives.

    Great, thanks. I'm also going to run a scan of the big 6TB hard drive from the other laptop today. Rarely use it with my own computer, but I do once in a while. Will post results here

    Scan still in progress for the 4TB HD. Looks like it has a handful of errors, I'll post a photo + log report when it's done.

    However, is it completely necessary to work on the external drives right now? This laptop is what I use for my photo/video work, and until it's fixed, I can't get any work done. Scanning the external drives is going to mean a delay of probably days, this one scan is 14.5 hours whereas the internal HD scan was 10 minutes. Is the external drive potentially transferring/causing the errors in the laptop? Because if not, I would much rather scan/fix these drives after getting the the problem with the laptop solved.

    I would recommend replacing the external drive. I am not up to speed on this thread, but if you were planning on using the external drive you should postpone the activity temporarily to replace the drive and copy the data off the external drive to a new external drive.

    Why is the external drive WAY slower to scan than the internal? I could understand some speed reduction, but the internal drive was done in 10 minutes, scanning at about 47gb/s. External drive is scanning at about 7gb/s, estimated to take 11 hours
    We're talking about an external drive here. That means the speed of the drive itself is only a part of the equation, the USB cable the drive has and the port the USB cable is connected to play another role in the speed of the USB. For example, a 2.0 USB connection cannot meet the standards of a 3.0 or 3.1 connection, you can combine a 2.0 and 3.0 or 3.1 port/cable but the speed will be reduced regardless of what USB version is used. Then there's also the software side, i.e. the chipset drivers for example that play a role, some laptops have drivers specific for I/O ports which also play a role, and so on.

    There are more variables in the equation that determines the speed of an external drive, but the most common culprit is the connection itself. Trying to connect a 3.0 or 3.1 USB cable to a 2.0 USB port, the external drive automatically reduces the speed because the 2.0 port cannot handle the speed of 3.0 or 3.1 but most don't know that. A 3.0/3.1 USB can be recognized with the color blue, if a USB is blue colored it's a 3.0 or 3.1 version.

    Windows had reported a bad block.
    The Macrorit scan found bad blocks in the 4 TB external drive.
    The Macrorit scan found no bad blocks in the internal Toshiba drive.

    When available post results of the chkdsk scan on the Tosiba drive.

    If you are able to keep all external drives detached they will not produce entries into Windows Error Reporting (WER) and no longer be a potential cause of a BSOD.
    The external drive troubleshooting can be completed after troubleshooting the computer.
    Running chkdsk switches may be able to move data from bad to good portions of the drive.
    And running chkdsk switches may prevent further use of the bad areas.
    Backing up data to another drive or the cloud may be needed.

    Once chkdsk has completed on the Toshiba drive upload results into the thread followed by a new V2.


    (The above was posted before seeing axe0's post who had recommended replacing the external drive.)

    Okay, thank you guys. This drive is nearly brand-new, purchased probably a month or so ago. Is it unusual that it would have bad blocks so soon? Should I contact the manufacturer and ask them to replace it?

    I'll pull off a couple important files from the external drive, then keep it disconnected until the BSOD issue with the laptop is resolved, and go from there.

    Should I be running chkdsk /b /v now, or just chkdsk /b?

    Got an odd thing happening in one of my Pictures subfolders. Internal drive, not the external one. Black backgrounds on the folders?
