After continuing to use the drive, rebooting the system, etc the count stays the exact same, your drive may be okay. The main way to determine whether or not your drive is likely to fail is how quickly this count increases. Pending sectors are a warning sign that your drive may experience some problems or failure. The pending sector count can go up/down depending on whether or not the drive can later successfully read data from the sector, or if the sector is bad it will become Reallocated Sectors Count and the pending count will decrease but the reallocated count will go up. Your Current Pending Sector Count is a warning about unstable sectors on your drive that are waiting to be remapped (reallocated) to spare space on the drive.īasically, your hard drive had trouble reading a sector of the drive and it is considering remapping the sector to one of the spare sectors. Not sure what to do, can someone take a look at these pictures and give me your opinion.Yeah, your Current Pending Sector Count is the issue. I've ran Norton Disk Doctor scans on all three drives as well as a /f CHKDSK on my C drive last night and when I came back it was at the desktop so I imagine everything went okay? The System Event logs is telling me its a DCOM error. When playing games on my C: G: or H: drive I sometimes hear a beep then my PC freezes for a little bit before returning to normal. So I imagine its when the file is being finished up and wrote to my HDD? I've tried switching up which HDD I record to/ record a game from and still get a BSOD normally when I hit "Record" on my recording program (Action Mirillis) or once I've been recording for an hour or so then hit "End recording". I'm normally running the game I'm recording off the G: drive also.


I use my G: drive to record 1080p game footage to for my YouTube.

I have been having BSOD for the past few weeks and suffered simlar issues with my HDDs a year ago but managed to make them behave until now.

I have three HDDs two of which are "Caution" on CrystalDiskInfo (shown in the pictures below) just wondering if its worth trying to fix or should I just replace the HDDs?
