BSOD :( help?

i did SFC /scannow
and it seems i have some corrupt files which it couldnt fix, would the "repair" tool on the windows 7 disc solve this. or what? it said "look in CBS logs for details" and i saw that it repaired a few things in "system 32" so, is that good? or should i use repair on disc, or reformat?

If no errors shown, then the hard drive is likely faulty. <<< (This is probably the reason.)

A few minutes is not overnight. You have to extensively test the memory. Even isolate one module at a time while removing others, to test.

i forgot to mention, i did while i was at school too, did over 50 tests... NO errors....
so hard drive needs replacing? DEFINATELY the hardware?
and only have a single 2GB stick o' RAM

ARGHH!! ANOTHER BSOD!!!!
ok, i need to know...
is it 100% hardware fault on the hard drive and not the motherboard or anything!
is it 100% the only way to fix it... please...

Now run memtest overnight:
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

i HAVE!!!! i got NO errors whatsoever!! did TONS of tests, zero error, ziltch!!! over like.. an 8 hour period!

Memory corruption? so its a harddrive error?

I would definitely borrow or pull another hard drive from another machine and install Windows on it, while removing your current hard drive too.

If it all works well like this, then return your current hard drive for RMA.

Basically, test the system out with a different hard drive.

RMA?
and i have no where to get another hard drive from....
its either this one, or having to give this back to the shop for a new one (year warranty )
so... you saying it might NOT be my harddrive, but the system install? or that its something else? i dunno?

Would be good to see the memtest results.

For your hard disk,

chkdsk /r /f
