My Pc began running slow last night and I've been getting sub 10 fps in WoW despite the changes in settings. I've gotten 2 BSOD's today with the error C4, a driver is attempting to corrupt system. I've attached the permon and dump results.

Is there anything from the dump that's important? possibly outdated drivers or something?

This dump actually didn't give me a lot of information. But what I am able to tell it seems like it could be a virus.

I attempted to system restore but it tells me my Main Hard Drive has errors and has detected file system corruption. Should I run Chkdsk after the virus scans?

Shall I run a full scan with Malwarebytes? or just a quick scan?

Alright try this:

Start -> Type in "%temp%" -> Highlight everything -> Delete it all, except for the files that it say that cannot be deleted.

I would also suggest that you disable Verifier. I wonder what settings you are using and whether you have it set up incorrectly. Do not enable Verifier without an expert's advice and steps.
Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right click Command Prompt -> Run as administrator -> Type the following command and then Enter:
verifier /reset​
-> Restart your computer.​

Logiic,

You never indicated that you had run WDO.

WDO is an excellent program for removing all kinds of infections.

WDO never starts up your Win 7, thus avoiding many potential infections and allowing their removal.

Be 100% certain that you run WDO over every drive in your system.

When you have completed running WDO, then let me know and I will post a script for you which will package up the results for perusal.

HOW TO USE WINDOWS DEFENDER OFFLINE ON A USB STICK
Windows Defender Offline
· is a free standalone, bootable malware and virus remover from Microsoft.
· performs an offline scan of an infected PC to remove viruses, rootkits and other advanced malware.

Download Windows Defender Offline (about 764 kB)

You will have the choice of downloading the 32bit version (x86) or the 64 bit version (x64).
The link will help you determine whether you are running a 32 bit version or 64 bit version of Windows

NOTE!! You can download and prepare a 32 bit version using a 64 bit version of Windows
NOTE!! You can download and prepare a 64 bit version using a 32bit version of Windows.

You run the 32 bit version on a 32 bit version of Windows.
You run the 64 bit version on a 64 bit version of Windows.

The 32 bit download file name is: mssstool32.exe
The 64 bit download file name is: mssstool64.exe

For the curious, this program was originally name Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper.


INSTALLATION:
You will need an Internet Connection.
Insert 512 mB (Microsoft’s 256 mB is no longer accurate) or larger USB stick into a usb port.
Run the downloaded program--mssstool64.exe or mssstool32.exe
NEXT button
Choose the option On a USB flash drive that is not password protected
NEXT button
NEXT button
.
The install program will format the usb stick using the NTFS format.
The install program will download about 210 mB.
The install program will name the USB stick WDO_Media32 or WDO_Media64
The WDO_Media32 usb stick will have used space of 255 mB (268,140,544 bytes)
The WDO_Media64 usb stick will have used space of 282 mB (296,165,376 bytes)
You can expect the number of mB to increase as more malware appears.

UPDATE Windows Defender Offline USB stick:
· reinsert the usb stick
· run the installation program, mssstool64.exe or mssstool32.exe, again.
· the update will download about 66 mB (mssstool32.exe) and 68 mB (mssstool64.exe).

Since the malware database is sometimes updated several times in a day, always update before running.

PERFORM AN OFFLINE SCAN
Bootup your computer from the USB stick
Windows Defender Offline will automatically perform a quick scan.
After the quick scan finishes, Choose Full Scan
Select all of your drives

The initial, full scan can easily take several hours, but
Remember, your computer is being very thoroughly checked for all types of malware.


RESULTS OF THE SCAN
The results will be in 4 log files on your computer's disk in:

I re installed windows and it seemed to have fix the problem, I probably should have done that initially. My fps in games have resumed to their normal high range. If the problem re-occurs I'll use the solutions you guys have kindly provided. I appreciate the help, thank you and have a great day.
