Computer freezes/hangs. No dump files. Power Kernel ID 41.

So, I ran an updated version of memtest (before was version 4.3.7 something) and now this is what I got: What does that mean? Problems?

Computer freezes/hangs. No dump files. Power Kernel ID 41.

Couple months ago (after the freezing events) I ran a couple memtest passes with both sticks installed and nothing came up. Do I really need to redo those again with 1 stick only?

[SOLVED] SFC finds corrupted files. DISM won't fix them.

Hello. My surface pro, win 8.1, has been acting a little weird recently. I decided to run SFC and it finds corrupted files. Then I've run multiple DISMs, restarts and the following SFC scans end up finding corrupted stuff again. I've run SFCFix but all it doesn't create a log file on my...

PC freezing out of nowhere - Windows 8.1 x64

SSD is probably 4-6 months old. I really can't remember if it happened before. But could I tell if it's the SSD for sure? Are there any fixes? And what do you suggest I do? I didn't want to reinstall the OS on my own. I don't know for sure if I can do it and worse, I have no time to do it and...

PC freezing out of nowhere - Windows 8.1 x64

- Malwarebytes is not the pro version. I made sure not to install the trial for the pro. - I use the MSI afterburner to slightly overclock the GPU and MAINLY for creating a custom fan curve, so the fans won't spin as fast without reason. (ie no heat or intensive graphics). Will uninstall it but...

[SOLVED] sfc /scannow can't fix corrupt files.

Absolutely, Alex. That was outstanding :) Now besides stop using ccleaner (even though registry was fine at first), what else should I do to prevent this from happening again?

PC freezing out of nowhere - Windows 8.1 x64

Hello usasma! I have one SSD and one 2 TB HDD. The 3rd one was a usb external drive. PSU is probably 1 year old. Are you thinking it could be hardware-related? I don't think it's pirated. The work was done at a reputable shop and I was charged for the "windows software". That microsoft...

[SOLVED] sfc /scannow can't fix corrupt files.

It worked man, scannow didn't find anything wrong. What was all that about, corrupt registry? I regularly use ccleaner, could that be the reason? Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Hope it doesn't happen anymore and I hope that was the cause off the sudden freezing/hanging I was experiencing. edit...
