Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

CHKDSK problems

English and Grammar never hurt anyone...give 'em a try.
Your probably running a Win9x version and it's running CHKDSK whenever you open (or as others call it "boot") the computer. There used to be a patch available on Windows Update to fix Win98 from shutting down too fast and causing this.

Heh, djnes when you said that I could not help but think of when Samuel L. Jackson said it best, "English Mutha-Fucker, do you speak it?"
Dude, the guys asking for help without being a total idiot and all you can do is bust on him for his langauge skills?
And frankly, your assumption that it is 95 is pretty baseless. WinXP has chkdsk, In fact I even had the exact same problem as kevinf.
In my case it had to do with the large system cache setting, I had it set to on/true/1, and with a lot of memory and a fair ammount of HD space, I was getting some sort of problem that involved a device driver corrupting itself and screwing up data on the HD on shutdown.
In order to fix that, I had to set it properly, reboot, then run chkdsk /f. At that point chkdsk prompts to unmount the drive, which it has to do to fix the problem. BAsically, if youa re having the problem onyour boot partition, there'd be no real recovery from the problem I had. Fortunately it was an issue with other than the boot partitions.

Actually, the text he gave is the exact message of a 9x client. Thanks for playing.

CHKDSK Runs Uncontrollably Every Boot Up
Check the "Check Disk - Disk Checking Runs Upon Boot" entry in the Windows XP From A to Z section of kellys-korner-xp.com for tips:
Check Disk runs on every boot: Note - I have seen this happen when Windows File Protection has either been disabled or not allowed to run upon canceling the bootup Check Disk.
Suggestions and Checkpoints:
Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: fsutil dirty query c:
(Modify the drive letter accordingly)
If it comes back as dirty, it hasn't cleared. For more information go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: CHKNTFS /?
Option: From a command prompt type chkntfs /D and then reboot, a chkdsk should run but not again on next boot.
This edit does not work for all users, circumstances depending:
Disable or Enable CheckDisk Upon Boot (Line 82)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
Chkdsk Runs Each Time That You Start Computer
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q316/5/06.asp
Checkpoint:
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Highlight the Winlogon file.
In the list look for "SFCScan", this should be set to (0) if it is set to (1) the scan will happen at every boot.
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Look for the REG_MULTI_SZ value with the following name: BootExecute. This value contains commands that will be executed at startup. The default value is: autocheck autochk *
After scheduling one or more chkdsks, the entry will contain one or more autochk lines. Delete each of these lines and put the default one in place.
If you always want a check to be performed at startup, change the value to: autocheck autochk /f *
If you don't want any checks to be performed, delete all autocheck entries.
Last checkpoint: Modify as needed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\cleanuppath
Registry entry should read: %SystemRoot%\system32\cleanmgr.exe /D %c
