recently one of my friends faced multiple BSODs, periodically ! he describes it as sth like this :
he said:
" my system was fairly stable , (and was running for 3 month(24/7) ) with out any kind of problem , untill a day i suddenly
heard a tick! sound from harddisk and then it was followed by a BSOD screen! i restarted and then resumed my work , unsure of what the cause was!
didnt any pay more attention till it happened again ! so i decided to reinstall Windows and everything else along with it, so i started with full formatting of my drive C and installed a fresh windows Os.
then again after couple of hours , when i came back home and went to my PC , i heard that tick sound! and then BSOD appeared again ,and the system restarted automatically ! this time system couldnt boot up windows!
and windows couldnot detect installation partition , so i used another hard-disk of mine which had Windows xp installed on it , and booted up .
when i entered the windows , i noticed all of my faulty?! HDD drives are fine except the first Partition , Drive C ,! which was reported , as a completely free partition as if it didnt contain any files on it! i couldnt enter it though! unlike the other partitions!
i had the same problem with my laptop, . i had all of antivirus and anti malwares updated and running and the whole stuff happened when i tried to clean(disinfect) one of my friends hdd from viruses. ( i dont think its virus , because i reformatted my drive C!)
any way what is the cause , and how can i help him ?
is his harddisk drive faulty?
Thank you all in advance
