Before that, it does all kind of funny things like blue screens, complaining about corrupt registry, spontaneous rebooting and hanging. It does work after getting warm for about ½ to 1 hour and then remains stable for hours. I’m under pressure with work so I've had no time to take it apart to isolate the problem(s).

The problem was first seen about a year ago. Some times it does not boot, and freeze after writing “ Stops at Updating ESCD.”. I experience frequent blue screens, some times during boot, some times during use. I have a Wavesurfer 42Xs with stability issues. On, at 13:07, Mikael Strom via Groups.Io wrote:

Make sure you copy all the partitions, and if possible do a full clone as well (not instead of, if your HD is corrupt, the clone will be useless, but the copies will give you most of the data).ĮSCD faults could be a result of changing hardware (something dying) or just plain old battery dead errors.Ĭhanging the battery would be a good start. Regardless of what the fault is, you probably should do a backup now!
