Hi Aditya_Roy

Thank you gladly for your help, I think my problem arose
from having two OS's on my PC, I also have Windows 7 Pro
and a partition (D I use for backup to keep a copy of
all my Doc's and Applications,
So maybe this is why I kept getting a msg
saying one of my drives needs a check for consistency.
I prefer to switch Windows backup off and make a copy
of all Documents on my spare partition (D
as it quicker and saves Disk space on the OS.
But this didn't stop Windows making three more little
drives for backup purposes. That's 5 in all, I'm sure
this would confuse R2D2 from StarWars or any novice lol
Anyhow after wiping and deleting those then running a
chkdsk /f, From the command prompt, Everything is now
going smooth, touch wood (-:
Heres some details,
* Typing winver on Windows 10 Pro in the runbox gimme
the following:
Microsoft Windows, Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.900)
* System Information gives me this:
Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363
* System Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz 2794 Mhz,
4 core(s), 4 logical...
* I purchased Windows 10 Pro last April, because my
previous free upgrade versions on ISO Disks kept
failing and crashing
* I have delayed updates because Ask Woodies website
technical advice says the new update edition 2004 is
full of bugs and hasn't been tested properly

* I can't give you the bluescreen stop error code as
I switched the machine off soon as I seen the
bluescreen.
It happened about ten days ago.
Thank you!
