It can be caused by loose wiring / wiring faults or hardware faults

Initially, run check disk

Click start then run, type chkdsk /r then press enter, type Y to confirm for next boot, press enter, reboot. This should show you a list of errors

OR

Click start then run, type chkdsk /f /r then press enter, type Y to confirm for next boot, press enter, reboot. This will automatically fix any errors, if possible, It takes an hour or more, the screen will either show progress or remain blank, do not disturb this, as long as you see the red light blinking, it is at work

Cyclic redundancy check can apply for a few reasons, if you do not see any improvement, post which programmes / applications are running when you get the error
