I downloaded a .iso torrent, I extracted it using WinRAR, Then when i was running setup.exe, the blue screen appeared, I rebooted my pc and deleted the folder and the blue screen appeared again saying kernel_data_inpage_error 0x00000007A
Then I rebooted my Pc, and I went into the folder and there were three files still there, two .txt files and one .nfo file, I tried deleting them but I got the blue screen and the same error. Scanning the folder with antivirus results with the same Blue screen (sometimes another error message) then I ran windows in safe mode, I deleted the folder and the delete completed but the folder was still there.... :??: .... Then I went into the folder and deleted the files and it said the folder is empty but, when I went back into the folder the files were still there.
The folder is on Local Disk E: . I ran chkdsk C: /f/r using cmd, and local disk C: was all fine but, when I ran chkdsk E: /f/r It scanned some files, and I got the same error with the blue screen. Now I can just leave the folder in the disk and ignore it but, I stil get the BSOD when watching movies, uninstalling programs, etc. on Local Disk E: . I know the problem causing the blue screen which is that folder, BUT the question is HOW do I delete it

Thanks in advance:(

Try running chkdsk from boot (it should ask you if you want to perform the test on reboot).
Run Memtest.
Run a malware scanner - I personally like Bitdefender Rescue CD (download it to USB and run at boot outside of windows).

It's a long shot but try checking the connections on your drives - it sounds weird but it has happened to me before.

After that and the file is still there and/or the BSOD happens then you can move forward with other things.

Also checked the connections to the hard drive
I am gonna do all the other USB/cd things afterwards (because i currently dont have one..)
