I have a G.Skill Falcon II 64 GB (FM-25S2I-64GBFII) that is about 18 months old. It's used as my boot drive running Windows 7.
About 6 months ago I started getting random BSODs about once a week. In the last 2 weeks I've been getting a lot of file errors and apps not running due to corrupt files.
I'm concerned I have a failure imminent.
I've checked the drive with CrystalDiskInfo and it shows health as mostly Bad (but occasionally Good and sometimes Unknown). The data in its stats window is greyed out and doesn't make any sense - lots of Unknown attribute names and Remaining life attributes, with these values ranging from 0 to 208.
I've also checked with HD Tune. It shows no errors in an error scan, but shows nothing at all in the Health tab.
Is there another tool I should use to check the drive's health?
Thanks,
Matt
