Default Windows 7 ultimate may contain "sector allocation bug".

Lately Windows 7 on my computer is misbehaving.

Windows 7 is under a lot of stress from Firefox and it's many tabs that are open.

Firefox may also cause some kind of corruption in the audio driver of creative labs.

Somehow this affects the sleep mode of windows 7.

Windows 7 was configured to disable all kinds of caches.

Under these circumstances somehow the "freeing" of an allocated block in the NTFS file system fails.

And the block remains allocated.

Somehow this is causing a boot and NTFS file system failure.

The computer refuses to boot on first turn on... the harddisk is just rattling a little bit and nothing further happens. (Possibly no boot at all... could also indicate bios corruption)

On reset... the same kinda happens... windows resumes.. then nothing... black screen and harddisk rattling.

Finally machine is restarted again, and restore point is deleted and windows starts normally... then it automatically runs checkdisk and finds this "allocation block" which is suppose to be free.

Then windows works as normal.

So what could be causing this weird behaviour:

1. Perhaps bios corruption/wear and tear.
2. Windows 7 bug in relation to Firefox stress and creative labs audio driver and youtube stress.
3. Some bug in the suspend mode of Windows 7.
4. Finally hardware wear and tear... perhaps static discharge corrupted/damage some small little component. No CRC errors detected so far.

So far to me it seems Windows 7 was not stress tested enough in combination with Firefox and audio drivers and youtube...

Bye,
Skybuck.

Default Windows 7 ultimate may contain "sector allocation bug".

Apperently I am not the only one that stumbled upon this error message.

The problem may have started when I used linux mint 18.2 or windows 7 and the system hang.. and somehow this caused problems.

Then checkdisk was run...

Checkdisk might contain a 31 or 32 bit bug... where it needed to use 63 or 64 bits.

So it The might be checkdisk itself that is now corrupting the system.

The problems started occuring after usage of Linux Mint 18.2 and SandSifter that was run twice concurrently.

Anyway this checkdisk bug might be triggered if there are more files or more indexes than 32 bits can handle ! Interesting bug theory how Windows 7 could still have hidden 32 bit bugs ! which will only reveal themselfes after much usage !

Default Windows 7 ultimate may contain "sector allocation bug".

Also very interesting thread:

User/Kenneth did a fresh install... and made his 2 tb harddisk full.. and there also the bug occurs... Seems like Windows 7 has a very big problem !

Damage to the file system happens on a dirty
shutdown (shutting off the power without telling
the OS it's going off).

You have to figure out what is going wrong at shutdown
time, to cause abnormal termination.

Normally the OS does flush() to the disk drive, then
dismount, then shutdown via BIOS ACPI Power Button.
No writes to the disk are allowed after flush(). Maybe
something you added to the OS was still running at
that point.

I have copies of Windows 7 here which *run with no problem*.
I don't have CHKDSK on every startup or anything.
