Title: System error
Post by: YTREWQ on April 04, 2014, 01:17:07 PM
Hello! I got home earlier today and over my bitcoin client (bitcoin core) was a dialog that said "System error: I/0 error" or something like that. Now Bitcoin crashes everytime I open it. What should I do?
ps. I'm on a mac

I had that problem a while ago. Your drive is failing.
You should immediately back-up the important stuff on your drive and buy a new one.

I think that should work?
