I'm using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, I'm getting windows error popups like this one for about 3 days, multiple times a day:
This Samsung SpinPoint F3 HD502HJ 500 GB is about 2 years old and I already checked it with Samsung ES Tool 3.0, did all the scans (took hours) and everything is fine!
I have no malware, viruses and this started to happen after I have had some electrcity issues at my house (multiple power surges / overvolatege during the night, PC was connected, but turned off), any ideas?
What other test should I perform? I believe the disk could be damaged, but then diagnostic tools should prove this, right?
*in fact "Windows detected hard disk problem" but I was unable to put word "problem" within the title as well.
