The entire computer’s component work with drivers, and like a software program, this can be damage. In this article, I will explain how you can check from errors your component drivers.

Step 1: Go to Start -> Click Computer
Step 2: Right click on the drive that you want to check -> click on Properties
Step 3: Click on Tools tab -> Under Error-checking click on Check Now
Here you can have three options:
- To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select Automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will report problems but not fix them.
- To perform a thorough check, select Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This scan attempts to find and repair physical errors on the drive itself, and it can take much longer to complete.
- To check for both file errors and physical errors, select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
Step 4: Click Start button
