Bought it at the start of the year.

Just booted up to find a corrupt registry.

chkdsk /r from the recorvery console has done 3 fixes so far.

Bad hardware or what?

Just backup your data now and get a warranty return on it. All drives will fail, how long they last is anyone's guess. Some are luckier than others.

I have no data. Its all programs and OS. The rest is on removable media. Work in IT so I know the value of backups...

How to get a warranty return? Through OC or HW supplier ?

any drive fitness tests I should do before returning to supplier ?
