    Hi Ghritak

    Please explain more on this, what is the initial problem you are having on your PC that is causing you to scan your PC

    Those commands have different purposes . ..

    sfc /scannow will scan your Windows System files for errors and if those are found, you should run this command:

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    chkdsk will only scan your hard drive for errors

    So the choice of command you choose to run should be dependent on the type of problem you are encountering

    • Do you receive any message after you execute the commands and they fail?
    • Have you tried running those commands in Safe Mode?

    Safe mode ain't working coz of the problem your pc run into a problem and need to restart(critical process died). After switching to safe mode it's showing the same BSOD .

    Yes of course I got some message after running those commands like:

    *Failed to transfer logged message to the event log with status 50

    *Warning F parameter not specified

    *There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart windows and run sfc again

    *Warning C parameter specified

    Your drive may still be corrupt even after running chkdsk

    These kind of error message I got

    Hi Ghritak

    1

    Check Disk:

    Press the Shift Key and click Restart

    Your PC will boot into the Windows Recovery Environment

    Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Options - Command Prompt

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    chkdsk C: /f

    When that command completes, run this command and hit Enter:

    chkdsk C: /r

    That command will take time to complete, when it does, restart back into Windows 10 normally

    2

    System Check

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

    From the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

    Run this command sand hit Enter:

    sfc /scannow

    When that command completes, run this command and hit Enter:

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    Wait for that command to complete (will take a while) and close Command Prompt

    If you get any errors from any of those commands, please provide the exact error you see . . .
