Check For consistency
Whenever I startup my computer a screen comes up that says something like Checking file storage on C:....then it says something about NTFS.somethign about checking for consistency
I dont click anything and let it run but like 3 seconds after it starts a dark blue screen flashes then goes to the windows loading screen.How do i get this disc check to run?I even right clicked on C: and and ran the error check but when phase 1 finished it says "windows was unable to complete the disc check."How do i get this disc check to run???

Try running Check Disk:
Go to start Run... and type: cmd
Then type: chkdsk /f
You will be told the volume is in use do you want to run chkdsk on next boot? Type: Y and reboot.

fsutil dirty query C:
-

i did that and a bunch of commands came up i tried one...and still the disc check starts and then blue screen flashes...and yeah...........getting annoying...btw what does C: is dirty mean?

"Dirty" indicates unusable sectors on the hard drive disk surface. It is a mechanical "scar" on the disk. CHKDSK would normally block the sectors as an Unused area similar to a quarantine.
Try this command and then reboot:
chkntfs /d
Also try to monitor your screen and get any info at all if possible if the blue screen flashes again.

That last command basically told your hard drive that all was well.
I would recommend (even without problems) to back up any important data.
Glad it worked!
Let us know if we can help further.
