I've had many BSOD crashes, which I thought were caused by bad memory, but I thoroughly checked the memory and could not isolate any problems. Then I found this forum, and tried Driver Verifier, which also didn't show any specific problems (at least not that I could tell). Then I tried Blue Screen View, as shown in the report below, and saw that the problems are related to core windows system files. Then I tried SFC /SCANNOW, and it showed some missing/corrupt system files, as shown in the report below.
After all this, I tried to do a repair install to replace the corrupt/missing windows system files. The repair install stopped and said "Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error Code: 0x80070241".
I checked the forum, and it seems that this error was common when people were burning downloaded Beta ISO images of Win 7. But I'm installing from an original store-bought Windows 7 disc, so I can't understand what the problem would be. I tried to download a new copy from Microsoft, but it seems that you need a $500 Technet subscription to do so.
I'd like to avoid a clean install if possible, but it looks like that is where I am heading. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
