CBS.log error points to nonexistent folder

You have a number of problems with bitflips in the registry - possibly caused by bad RAM.
You need to check out the RAM using Memtest86+ https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html
Run at least three full passes, and replace any sticks found bad.
Once that's done, post your COMPONENTS hive, and I'll see what I can do with it - but you may need to do a repair (or even a clean) install.


I need to have a look at your COMPONENTS registry hive

Please copy the C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS file (no extension) to your desktop and then compress it - upload the compressed file to your favoured fileshare site (preferably Dropbox or OneDrive) and post a link.

I think we've found the root of the problem. I have a bad RAM slot in this computer, which I used to have a card in, which I stopped using to stop a crash problem. I don't have RAM in that slot now, but I imagine the bitflips were created when it was there. Would having an empty bad RAM slot still do things? (and yes, I'm sure it's the slot and not the card I was using, I tested multiple RAM sticks in that slot and all of them made the crashing problem come back)

I'm going to edit the link to the components thing in in a bit, need to set up a fileshare account first since I don't actually have one.

EDIT: Here's the COMPONENTS hive: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7tjax2vann...NENTS.zip?dl=0

Yep - it could easily be a hangover from past problems.

Here's the detail - I'm not sure how much of it will come across in HTML, but we'll see!

Simply COPY the file to the desktop and compress it-t hen upload it to a fileshare site (preferably either DropBox or OneDrive) and use the site tool to generate a link to the file which you can post in your response.

Sorry - didn't see the edit!
I've edited out what corruption I could find, but there's still something that I'm not seeing - hopefully another run of CheckSUR on your machine with the amended hive in place will bring it out in the open.


I've uploaded a file - aksaa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it to your desktop.
Right-click on the file and select Extract All, and save to the default destination (which should be a folder on the desktop)

Create a new System Restore point

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands.

Code:

IF EXIST C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.OLD1 DEL C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.OLD1
REN C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS COMPONENTS.OLD1
COPY "%userprofile%\desktop\aksaa\COMPONENTS" C:\Windows\System32\config

.

If you get an error with any command, STOP THERE - do not reboot! - post for instructions.

Assuming all commands go OK, reboot, and run another CheckSUR scan - post the new CheckSUR.log file.
