Right click bitcoin application.
Click properties.
Add -checklevel=2 to the target for example "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -checklevel=2

 Huh

I'm running the latest client 0.8.5 (the latest) on Mac OS X 10.8.5 on a MacBook pro with SSD.

This seems to be a common theme with the OSX client, developers think they've fixed it, and problems keep coming back. It could be that a high percentage of Macs can't do math right, but more likely there is some leveldb database problem on Mac that really can't be fixed without the upstream library bug being identified and fixed.

Could be a failing drive or filesystem issue. Try running the Disk Utility to see what it finds.

It's not finding anything. 


There are no problems with any other programs or data at all.

My blockchain has been corrupted and required rebuilding 4 or 5 times in the last week.  I'm running hte latest client 0.8.5 (the latest) on Mac OS X 10.8.5 on a MacBook pro with SSD.  I don't have any data integrity issues with any other programs.  I don't understand why this keeps happening.  Any ideas?
