Win 7 crashes when installing new software, everytime
Back story: two year old nephew hits the power button while I was browsing the net. Nothing out of the ordinary with it. However, since then everything has gone to batshit crazy. First ChromePlus, a browser, goes bad. It would freeze Windows the moment i launched it. I deleted that and things seemed to return to normal. Then the exact same problem happened to MSN Messenger.
So i deleted MSN messenger as well. And the PC is running perfectly fine, However, whenever I try to install something, anything for that matter, Windows crashes and eventually gives me a BSOD.
It seems it has locked itself. I have no idea what's causing it. I wouldn't like to reformat and I am hoping there is a solution to this. Unfortunately, for some reason, there was no system restore point! So can't do that as well. I am really hoping some of geniuses have an answer.
System:
i5 750 @default
4GB of RAM
GTX 570
60GB SSD (Windows)
250GB HDD (general).
