After several sfcfixes my hard drive began to go into repair frequently for some reason

Best to make a full system backup now. The sfcfixes we are doing are all broken system files, maybe due to a failing hard drive.

Step 1:
WARNING! The following fix is specific to the user's system in this thread only. No one else should follow these instructions, as it could damage your system.

• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it on your desktop.
• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.
  
  
• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Attach that file to your next reply.

Step 2:
Restart the machine.
Run the command sfc /scannow in an elevated commandprompt and report the result.
If it fails, copy the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\cbs.log to your desktop.
Zip the copied file and attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.

Just downloaded it. I don't see anything wrong with it.
Created and attached a new zipfile. Try again using SFCFix. If it fails provide a screenshot of the error message.
