Ok, I was editing a video with windows movie maker and trying to convert VLC .bik files to something movie maker could use. The computer wasn't under any kind of serious stress, I was just sitting idle while one of the files was converting. I was having a little trouble, I was getting video and no sound or sound with no video. Then I noticed that while VLC was open the icons in the folder I had open has changed to just white rectangle icons and the sub folders were not showing the little thumbnails on the icon.
I closed the folder and opened it again but it didn't fix it. Then I closed the folder and closed VLC, opened the folder and it was normal again. This went on for an hour or two. I forget exactly what I was doing at the moment when I got BSOD. It said registry error, code 00000051 (not the exact amount of zeros 51 was the only number in the string). Then after restart windows was loading extremely slow.
After sitting through a black screen for around 5-10 minutes finally the desktop popped on. It stayed running for a few minutes just loading up various programs that auto start. Then I got BSOD again, I think from Steam trying to start. Steam has always taken forever to load and slows down my computer until it starts, and my network icon seemed to be frozen, the little green circle was not spinning.
This time I restarted in safe mode and was able to login and run Steam, firefox, Spybot, Avast, everything was working fine. I did a little searching and uninstalled Daemon Tools and turned off most of the programs that auto start. The computer started up much faster this time, I logged in and gave it a few minutes to load. After I gave it some time I noticed the network icon was frozen again trying to connect. I clicked on it and immediate BSOD.
Restarted in safe mode, did some more reading and uninstalled a couple programs that I read cause problems. I disabled the mother board sound card because supposedly Realtek can cause some problems. I ran virus scans with three programs and they turned up nothing. So I tried restarting normally again.
I logged in, the desktop loaded and I just sat and waited, I gave it like 15 minutes to fully load. I came back and the network Icon was frozen again. The second I right clicked my mouse another BSOD. If I start in normal mode and don't touch anything it will stay running, but the network icon stays frozen and if i try to click anything or anywhere it crashes. Safe mode works perfectly fine,
I know it's not my RAM because rainmeter and windows still shows that I have 16 gigs, I just cleaned the GPU two days ago and it was fine until tonight so I don't think it's a heat issue. The BSOD always says the same thing, code 51 registry error. I'm nervous that it's the HDD either failing or it's corrupted.
I would like to avoid formatting at all costs. I have a whole lot of irreplaceable things I will never be able to find again and I lost my windows 7 cd and cd key. I am in a bad situation money wise as well so I cannot afford new hardware. I'm really hoping somebody can help me, my computer is pretty much my only connection with the outside world and if I have to format I'm gonna be pretty upset.
After I post this I am going to run defrag. In the hopes that it will either move the files off the bad spot on the disk, or tell me what they are so I can try to download them. Is that something that's even possible?
