The drive WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 has logged 209 CRC error(s) on its SATA interface. These are bus-level transmission errors and indicate a connection problem, not a fault with the drive itself. Common causes are a loose, damaged, or low-quality SATA cable, a faulty SATA port, or a flaky backplane or drive sled. The counter is cumulative over the drive's whole lifetime, so these errors may be years old and come from an issue that has long been resolved.
If the count is still increasing, reseat the SATA data cable, try a different SATA port, and replace the cable if errors continue to accumulate.
The drive Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB has logged 1,632 CRC error(s) on its SATA interface, a high count that points to a connection problem. This is NOT a drive failure; the drive itself is likely healthy, but the cable, port, or backplane carrying its data was unreliable when the errors occurred. The counter is cumulative over the drive's whole lifetime, so these errors may be years old and come from an issue that has long been resolved.
If the count is still increasing, reseat or replace the SATA data cable, try a different SATA port, and check for issues with the drive sled or backplane in this chassis. If multiple drives in the same system show CRC errors, the chassis wiring is the likely culprit.
2 running program(s) are known to consume resources in the background with little benefit (preinstalled trials, redundant cleaners, or permanent helper services).
These programs are often preinstalled by the PC manufacturer or bundled with other software, and keep running at every startup even when unused.
Uninstalling them, or disabling their automatic startup, frees memory and shortens the boot time. The Processes button in the Software section lists each detected program and why it is flagged.
Your CPU is running at a high temperature (95.1°C). At this level, the processor may slow itself down to avoid overheating.
This usually means the cooling system is struggling to keep the CPU at a safe temperature. It can happen if the cooler is clogged with dust, not working correctly, or simply not powerful enough for this type of processor.
We recommend checking that the fan spins normally and that the cooling system is properly installed. Cleaning the cooler or improving airflow can help bring the temperature back to a safer range.
The drive WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 has performed 384,443 head load/unload cycles, exceeding the 300,000-cycle rating typical for desktop hard drives.
Some drives park their heads after only a few seconds of inactivity to save power, which can inflate this counter far beyond its design rating over the years. Exceeding the rating means the parking mechanism is past its validated wear envelope, not that failure is imminent.
Keep backups of important data and monitor this drive's SMART attributes. If the counter grows quickly, the drive's idle-parking timer can often be relaxed with a manufacturer utility.
The drive SanDisk SDSSDXPS480G has reported 1 media error(s).
Media errors indicate that the drive was unable to read from or write to the NAND media successfully. A small number of media errors may be recoverable, but any increase can indicate failing flash cells, controller issues, or progressive drive degradation.
Back up any important data on this drive immediately, monitor the error count for further increases, and consider replacing the drive if the count continues to rise or reaches a critical level.
We detected 1 storage device(s) that are not partitioned or formatted. The affected device(s) are: SanDisk SDSSDXPS480G. Windows cannot use these drives until they are initialized and set up.
Open the Disk Management tool to initialize the device(s), create a partition, and format the drive so it becomes usable.
