BSOD just browsing web on Firefox. 0x3b

Thank you very much for your help. I ran chkdsk on C and it found numerous issues and repaired them. My computer hasn't BSOD since then.

However I have tried running sfc /scannonw and I get the following error:

Code:

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 2% complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of th
em.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

I have attached the CBS.log file. Is this something I should worry about?

I figured as much, well, you can try to do a Repair Install

Give it a go and see how it turns out. It may be necessary to do a full, clean install if your repair install doesn't go smoothly.

Skullpuck, did you get this resolved?

For the most part, yes. I've had a BSOD since I did the chkdsk but it was for dxgmms1.sys which is unrelated to hard drive issues as far as I know.

I haven't had any other hard drive problems since I did chkdsk. I know I need to run a repair install I just don't want to lose any information by doing so. I'm trying to hold off until Windows 8 is released and then I will do a clean install.

All of this is probably the wrong thing to do....

Doing a repair install will only fix Windows. It will not delete your files and programs. You should read over the tutorial I linked for you. Repair Install It's pretty quick also. Not like doing a clean install. Anyway, best of luck. If you are satisfied with the outcome, you may mark the thread as solved.
