Lenovo SMART drive self test

[johnstevens77]

I have a warning message on the Lenovo solution centre. Does not say what to do about it though. Machine is a E530c. Any ideas?

I have Lenovo AIO and last autumn also had a warning message. It offered to repair itself out so I pressed the OK button. Total disaster. Completely screwed the system. In the end I had to have Win10 reloaded and the techie advised to take all the Lenovo diagnostic programs off.

Computer now works OK but has some issues like BT and some USB hubs switching themselves off until I reboot. Also cannot use the Sleep/Shut Down/Restart options from the Start Menu, I have to use the power button or let it go to sleep naturally.

My advice, depending on what the warning message is, don't let Lenovo's tools fix it.

Download and install speccy (free), which will give you pretty much everything in one place wrt to hardware, including loads of SMART stats...https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy

It's possible the hard drive is starting to fail, but I'd be inclined to get the speccy opinion first...
