Issues with my laptop

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes:

First this my second hard drive on this lab top, I have had issues with my lab top since I got it, and I have always just delt with it and done quick temporary fixes, as I am still able to use my computer but with some frustration.

I think I need to run a check disk on it and I have tried most of the suggestions, with no postive outcomes, I just tried a upgrade install and it said it was unable to boot. I think this is the real root of my problem as when ever I try and restart to install a update or anything like that I am unable to reboot and it just takes me to a black screen saying windows shut down incorrectly and asking me what mode to start up in. I countinue to go around in this circle unless I just hit the power button. After that I am able to go from the black screen and start windows normally.

When I tried to run the check disk from the command prompt it took me to a blue screen for a few seconds I wasn't able to read much before it took me to the black screen again. I did see something on the blue screen about the kernal.

I just backed up my files and I am about to try a clean install and see if I can get that to work. I fear that I will get a similar problem when I try this. I was wondering if you had any suggestions or if I should try and get my third hard drive as I believe I am still on my extended warranty. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

Open up Windows Explorer, right click the hard drive and then error checking in tools. Tick both boxes reboot.
