Hello and welcome Maricha I know you have run the chkdsk but was it just a plian chkdsk if so run it again pleas and use the /r switch as well see this
Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums < if necessary include the /f switch and if this does not make any improvement then just run this switch instead /r in the command line as per Option 2

Now just how old is this machine ?? as your specs area bit scant and do you have an AV on board and what is it??

Thanx for replying.

The pc is an older model as between 2010/2011.
[I'm afraid that I'm not sure what you are asking as the last part. I have nothing connected atm except the most needed - a monitor, mouse, keyboard.
The motherboard has an internal graphic/sound card] {Deleted Pictures as AV=AntiVirus and not Audio/Video }

It is a little while ago but I'm sure it was a /f switch only.
I tried again to day first the /f and then the /r - in both cases it says "Windows has checked the file system and found no problems." and yet it says in the end "Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50."

With the little options I have in the cmd prompt session I tried to find the chckdsk-log but didn't succeed. I only found the Startup Repair diagnosis and repair log txt-file and disklayout.txt with the DiskPart info.

Ahh, just found the chkdsk-logs - and the day it crashed the log is mega-large and it said: "Correcting errors in the master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute.
- Correcting errors in the volume Bitmap.
- Windows has made corrections to the file system."
The next checkdsk it is replacing some bad clusters.
The next 5 checkdsk's Windows found no problems! but SrtTrail says "Root cause found: Startup Repair has tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem."

Try this boot media:

17514x64-v3.iso

hmm I am not sure what that media is that SIW 2 has linked but if they are ISO's for the system then you will need DVD's not CD's.

The other thing I asked is the AV just what antivirus are you using ?

Just a quick query did you use the proper removal tools when you uninstalled those other AV's ?? because if you didn't they could be causing conflicts within your system.

I use Kaspersky exclusively on my machines and even though it has a good removal tool it still leaves registry entries behind and a couple of the ones you mentioned I wouldn't touch them with a dirty stick let alone install them on my machines.

I guess the iso should be copied on a bootable cd?

Yes, the iso is only about 380mb - burn it cd/dvd or extract to usb using rufus or similar.

Boot it up.

See if you have any shadow copies - use shadowcopyview. It is under start menu\Datarecovery.

If you can use windows, you can use that boot media.
