BSOD when opening applications
First and foremost I must apologise, I am severely lacking in PC knowledge and thus want to apologise in advance if I miss some key information.
I was playing the Witcher 3 recently, I don't usually use my computer for gaming and as such I forgot that it has a tendency to overheat. Eventually the game crashed and I was unable to tab or end the application and I realised the temperature had reach >60 degrees (Celsius). I had to hold the power button to shut it down which I know causes issues.
After I booted the PC back up it would BSoD every time I logged in, after the temperature cooled down I was able to log in but all of my applications that boot on start up don't work, my flash player in chrome crashes instantaneously however I am able to run videos on VLC media player and finally I am unable to start any games. My computer works fine in safe mode.
Reading the forums I did a few things, firstly doing sfc /scannow I got:
"Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them"
"Details included in CBS.Log Windir/Logs/CBS/CBS.log"
I checked the CBS log but obviously didn't really understand it, its larger than 2mb limit but I can create a new file with the most recent logs if that would be helpful
Additionally I tried the system restore function but it didn't solve my issues.
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated and apologies if I missed any key information
