Continuous haunting error from "Disk Read Error"

[General_Metrac]

The Issue: My pc is stuck in a never ending loop of disk read errors, press control alt delete to restart... This used to happen a lot when I was on windows 7, and I thought maybe if I updated to windows 10, it would fix the issue for good, which up until now IT DID. However it has seem to have found me again and wants to ruin my time yet again. My old way of fixing the error was to use a USB drive with windows 7 on it to repair the damage, and be able to boot back into my pc, however now that I've upgraded to 10, that won't work anymore. I am downloading a windows 10 installer from the microsoft homepage atm, and I assume if I re-install it will do the same as the old flashdrive on my windows 7. (correct me if i'm wrong.)

 

PC Specs:

 

OS: Windows 10 (upgrade from 7)

Motherboard: MSI gaming G series

Graphics Card: nvidia geforce gtx 770 4gb.

Processor: Intel core i7-4770 (running stock)

RAM:G-skill Ripjaw 16GB (4 ram sticksx4 gigs)

Hard Drive: WD black 1 TB

Solid State Drive: Samsung 840 evo 250 gig (I SWEAR THIS IS PROBABLY THE ISSUE, but we'll get to that)

 

More Info:

 

I am unable to log into the PC to do any program diagnostics, i'm currently on my laptop trying to figure out how to fix the damn thing.

I SWEAR the 840 evo is the main issue here as they have serious slowing down issues over time, and only recently after I used a tool design to re-write and speed up the drive, does it ever do this, but it's my only choice or I have to buy another one. I haven't used the tool since upgrading, and overall my pc has been slowing to a snail's crawl, so naturally I sped it back up with the tool provided by samsung to help with the issue, as it's a known flaw of this SSD, but I have a feeling that doing so has corrupted a few windows files and caused this to happen again.

I'm playing witcher 3 and in the middle of it BOOM crash and from there I've been locked out stuck in disk read errors or screens asking to insert my recovery disk (which i don't have because I upgraded from 7)

 

If anyone needs ANY more information, i'll do my best to provide what you need, but I can't access anything on that pc right now since the errors won't let me load up.

 

Please help a guy out if you can

(also curious to know if I can restore my drive off of a bootable usb device from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 or if that will just re-install windows, in which i'd rather not go through the hassle to do.)

Good lord this is alot...anyhoo...this can be a "user error" causing issue too or probably a memory issue but the 840EVO has had issues in the past but have you installed the firmware updates for the 840evo, yes, Samsung has put out updates to fix this very issue...take a look. 

 

You are correct about the WIn10 USB but then you may have to reinstall WIN10 for the "repair the damage" to work.

 

What program are you using to, as you put it, "tool design to re-write and speed up the drive" because SSDs do not/should not need this, especially the EVO series, all you need to make sure is that TRIM is enabled on the OS by opening the cmd as a administrator and put this code = fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify and then hit enter, 0 =  enabled while 1 = disabled, you want the enabled.

 

Hope you get this fixed.

I'm using a restoration tool provided by samsung because they knew about the 840 evo's speed issues as the drive aged, it was a bug on their part.

 

it is accessable through the samsung magician, sorry I didn't make that clearer at first.

 

EDIT: didn;t look at your take a look section until now, that's the tool in question, and I have to re-run it every few months or I go to a snail's pace

UPDATE:

 

I'm back into my pc through the usb boot I made, however I have lost all my old files and have to now replace everything like I didn't want to  ugh. But I still need help finding the error. Funny enough while windows re-installed iteself I go a boot error THANKFULLY ONLY ONCE and then it continued to boot as normal, but now i'm honestly afraid to re-boot my pc out of fear of it happening again, I still can't exactly tell what's causing it.

The tool you spoke of then is Samsung Majician, correct?....and you used the Performance Optimization to try to fix the error, correct?.....well that won't work as that is really for junk data that builds up in Windows. You really need to do the firmware updates form the site for the SSD for fix this error. 

 

Before you do the firmware update, back up your sensitive data or you may lose it. The 840evo has about 3 firmware updates and should be done in order. You don't need the mSATA as your SSD is not a mSATA...well i assume so anyway.

Hey,

 

Samsung released a firmware update,  DXT0AB0Q for the 840evo and reports are that it has fixed most issues regarding speed in both read and writes.  Do some research on it and if you find it worthy give it a try, unless you no longer have the issue then forget this.
