My apologies to bring this question to FreeBSD - I hope you'll excuse me because this may be a generic hard drive/hardware question.
It's a Compaq 6300MT with Win7 Pro which every so often suffers BSOD with the error "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050".
A quick search returns a variety of possible causes, including RAM.
I ran PassMark's BurnInTest for a couple hours - each hardware component passed.
However, BurnInTest also returned dozens of "Temperature threshold exceeded" for the hard drive (WD5000AAKX). The graph shows HD temperature abruptly changing from 33 C to 100 C for a couple of minutes, then back to 30-something, then abruptly 100 C; and this alternation repeating several times. The hard drive in question is still given "PASSED" by BurnInTest.
The drive does not feel hot to the touch, so this must be a faulty temperature sensor somewhere, or buggy firmware?
And once Windows is told a few times that the hard drive is at 100 C, it volunteers to BSOD?
Anyone with similar experience?
