I have a very strange problem.
A few months ago my PC running windows 10 decided to blue screen, and when I tried to reboot I could not boot into the system, safe mode, or anything that had to do with the normal windows desktop at all. The PC would not even go into automatic repair, instead endlessly boot-looping.
To solve this problem I fresh installed windows 7 and then re-upgraded to windows 10. To my dismay, after a couple weeks the PC began to show issues again: features breaking, file explorer becoming unstable, and files becoming corrupt. After a while, the PC became so corrupt that it got to the point that I could not boot once more.
To solve this problem AGAIN I had to reinstall windows 7 from an install disk once more. This time, I stayed on windows 7, and the computer is still usable to this day but regularly running chkdsk /c and sfc /scannow in cmd reveals that the system file structure slowly becomes more corrupt i.e. telling me that the bitmap volume is incorrect, eventually degrading to the point where it says it found corrupt files and on reboot it deletes them. I am sure that if I continuously skip these disk repair on reboot the computer will eventually degrade to the point where it won't boot anymore.
To get to the bottom of this I ran both SSD health checks and RAM health checks, but both come up clean. Running several malwarebytes and other antivirus scans came up clean as well. I am at a loss of what to do.
Is my SSD corrupted? Is my RAM bad? Could it be my PSU? CPU? Any ideas would be excellent.
I have also tried reformatting the whole SSD but that did nothing to prevent imminent system corruption.
