So huge problem during games, which is 99% of what i use my computer for, they will freeze, mouse won't move, sound will typically do a loop on whatever was last heard, ect.

I used to get bluescreens, but that stopped when i was going through my event viewer, googling for fixes, one of them mentioned turning "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework" to automatic, as something sets it to manual. After i did that the bluescreens went away and instead started doing the above. Looking right now for some reason its set back to manuel.

anyways here is a list of errors i still have in event viewer that happen during crashes or close to them

event 219 Kernel-PNP
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\PNP0A0A\2&daba3ff&2.

Event 11 Wininit
Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. The system administrator should review the list of libraries to ensure they are related to trusted applications.

Event 7006 Service Control Manager
The ScRegSetValueExW call failed for FailureActions with the following error:
Access is denied.

Event 41 Kernal power
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.


So like i said ive been googling this but not really finding my answer, from what i can tell Event 7006 is related to antivirus and not the issue. Event 41 is just telling me it crashed basically. Event 11 i have no idea how to fix, and Event 219 is what i tried to work on but havn't really fixed.

I tried uninstalling flash and java, for an entire day i had no crashes, thought i had it fixed, but now its back. VLC player lags every minute or so for just a second not sure if related to my problem.

I did a windows memory test, just the basic one, no errors. Hard drives don't seem to be having problems either. I do have my temp folders moved off my SSD windows drive, but that shouldn't be causing issues. I tried installing different antivirus's and did full scans. I did catch one thing called appdata/roaming/microsoft/windows/recent/mpir.dll but i half believe that was a false catch but i don't know for sure

i did some system verifyer thing in a cmd prompt and it said it was ok if i remember right. But at some point there was a check before windows boot and that said a driver was corrupt and it was try to repair, but failed. so then i had to go into safe mode and disable what i did to get it to boot after that.

after which i downloaded new drivers for everything i could think of, chipset, audio, gpu.keyboard, mouse.

next thing im going to do is download avast and scan with that, i think it has a dos scanner on it, so it might catch some more stuff i dunno, i also did malwarebyes, found nothing, malware expliot found nothing. i had comodo antivirus, went to bitdefender, and im on panda right now.

anyways, at my wits end here.

Edit:

I also updated my bios

I'd start with following all of the recommended procedures at the following two links. It may be that there is a rootkit involved which will probably not be detected by traditional virus scanners or malware utilities. Try scanning with both a rootkit scanner (Malwarebytes has a free rootkit scanner utility) and a second opinion virus scanner like the free version of Hitman Pro.

Secondly, some of that looks driver related so a CLEAN installation of your graphics drivers is recommended and is outlined on the page at the second link.

i ran the system file checker again, this time it found 1 corrupted file and fixed it

Repairing corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:46{23}]"\??\C:\Windows\System32"\[l:22{11}]"autochk.exe" from store

i doubt thats the end of my troubles tho as i don't see how that file could be causing me problems. I did the gpu fixes, hopefully thats my problem, and my power supply is Teir2 or w/e so everything looks good there.
