XPS 8920, starting issue

The screen shots take approx an hour or two

The shot of the system file check finally posted. FWIW, If reboots persist perhaps first before the scannow command, run chdksk  c:/ r 

Then DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Then sfc /scannow

Okay I saw the error 41 which is basically a generic error that means your system rebooted without cleanly shutting down. It could be caused by an interruption in the power supply or by a Stop error. It could mean Event 41 contains a (bug check) code. Or, because you pressed and held the power button. Or, because the computer is unresponsive or randomly restarts, and Event ID 41 is not logged.

If you find other errors besides kernel event 41 try to type those instead of the wait required for every one to see them

Looks that you have 6 disks. Is Disk 6 one you  previously cloned to another installed in your system?

I don't know Steve. I had a disk a while ago where the drive was storing the partition table in MBR. You might want to check using the standard diskpart command in a Command Prompt window. 

Launch a Command Prompt window as Administrator.

Type the following two commands and press Enter after each one

diskpart

list disk

A table listing your connected disks will appear. If a disk is GPT, it will have an asterisk under the “Gpt” column. If one is missing that asterisk, you identified the disk using MBR 

i have 4 USB disk, 2 are identical, and so are the other 2 which is 4 off. i back up to 2 and then copy them to the other 2 for safety. 

no partition, 2 of them are 4T and the other 2 are 9T. just plugged them staright in

Alright. You have 4 USB disk drives not 6. Six disks (6) is the number the error is counting.

When you installed the 4 USB disks, do you recall expanding the partition on any of these with diskpart or a software tool because disks have a unique ID. Perhaps if that's the case, that disk is the one that may need to be rebuilt.

The 9TB disk 6 is the one that has the same ID's as one or more disks, obviously. All I can offer at this point is have you researched that Microsoft KB to see what the documentation says on Microsoft support? Perhaps someone on this forum can shed more light about the error.          

i hope someone can help me , i have researched , all the drives have guids so i cannot figure it out.

this has me stumped, no two disks have the same identifier

Steve, you've likely read quite a lot of posts on different forums regarding Event ID 158

There's quite a few offered suggestions, however none ever were reported to work successfully 

here

here

here 

If you looked for when previous re-boots occurred that logged Event 158, it's probable  that disk 9 which was reported having the same Identifiers as one or more disks, was swapped from another disk number having the same ID's as one or more disks. Meaning that the issue isn't with one particular disk, but rather this issue is Windows related.

This thread concluded with a response from a Seagate engineer. In the very last post, the comment describes the reason having something to do with the USB Attached SCSI  (UAS) driver in Windows. The issue is only seen when connected via UAS and is dependent on how the hosts bus handles UAS and some underlying logic of the bus in Windows.

It is something that Seagate cannot control  and they advise reaching out to Microsoft
