Hey there. Thanks for taking a look at this!
This was the state about 2 weeks ago:
Assembled a computer about 11 months ago.
Windows 7 Pro
64GB SSD with the OS and a few major programs on it
500GB HD with other stuff
HD6870 Vid card
12 GB RAM (yeah, I know)
i5-2400
Made no changes recently. Crashes < 10 minutes after booting, as of a few days ago.
Tried running chkdsk, crashed at 25% stage 2/3 multiple times.
Tried sfc /scannow first time, failed. Second time, completed with no flaws found. Then tried chkdsk and it didn't display anything for about a minute, then said that the format was RAW (rather than NTFS as it said before), and crashed right after that.
Tried moving around the SATA port that I used to no avail.
Tried to go to a system restore from a month ago, crashed while restoring.
Tried to run HDTune, crashed before it finished.
Crashes are BSODs with either
The program can't start because %hs is missing from your computer...
or
STOP Error 0x000000F4: CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION
_______
Based on the help I got then, I tried to plug my SSD into my friend's computer but it wouldn't recognize it ('Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key") .
My minidumps said different programs were crashing every time, so I tried booting it with different configurations of the RAM and it still crashed (safe mode). With 1 stick in 4 different slots, 3 crashes happened at 10m30s +/- 10s, and the other was at 7m45s or so. Not sure what that means.
Any ideas?
