Windows has finished checking your disk.
Please wait while your computer restarts.
This solves the problem. On restart everything is back to normal.
What I don't understand, and need to resolve, is what is causing this, and why does CHKDSK resolve this issue. We've replaced SATA cables, memory, CPU to date.
Hardware supplier (machine is under warranty) is now trying to say problem is software.
