Multiple BSOD. PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, among others.
Hello all. I've been experiencing a lot of BSOD events lately. It's probably related to my GPU, because they tend to occur while I'm playing games, but sometimes t happens when I'm doing standard stuff, like browsing the web. Once or twice it happened right after reboot.
Also, sometimes after the errors I see a message like "updating backup BIOS image. Writing BIOS image.....". It reboots normally after that.
Then It started to complain about corrupt files: "The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum". I did 2 chkdsk /f after that, the first one found and corrected a bunch of errors.
After that (and while I was gathering the dumps to make this post), it crashed again. And this time it's refusing to boot on windows. So, I booted on linux to make this post. Then the linux crashed! while I was using chromium. After reboot, it threw me a "Unaligned pointer 0x7fcf4" message even before grub, and I had to reboot again into recovery mode.
After a quick fsck (which found and fixed a couple of errors), I was finally able to log in here and make this post.
I'll probably have to reinstall windows anyway (it's almost 1,5 years old, so it's due time to reinstall it anyway), but the problem seems to be affecting the linux file system, so it's probably hardware related. Any idea which piece of my computer is trying to kill the rest of it?
