I ran the hard drive check. first time I ran it and went to work, came home to a black screen error reading-
Windows boot Manager
your computer cannot come out of hibernation
Status: 0xc000009a
Info: A fatal error occurred processing the restoration data.
File:\hibernation.sys
so after getting the computer rebooted. I ran the hard disk check again and watched it so it would not go in to hibernation. it ran through fully and did not find any bad sectors etc.
