Hey, I am experiencing BSOD and have no clue to why.
So I was playing a game I downloaded from tpb (a cracked game), I would say about 2 hours in, I closed the game and when I tried reopening it - it didn't work, I tried opening steam and it didn't open, tried opening discord and it crashed straight away, and strangely, PowerPoint opened, so I thought I'd just restart my PC and it would work fine again, but no - I got Windows trying to repair my drive and then when it finished I got a BSOD, without being able to access my PC. now, I did open and close the game a handful of times before the issue happened, so I don't think I could've gotten a virus, but I'm unsure. Also, I think, but I'm unsure, that PowerPoint is located in my C drive, could my D drive have gotten corrupted?
Now, I can only access the advanced options and the UFEI, Windows still won't boot in safe mode, I've tried chkdsk D: /f /r /x and chkdsk C: /r with no sucsess, sfc /scannow says something like windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation.
I really don't know what I can do, I am willing to do anything short of formatting... Thanks a bunch
P.S. If it helps I remember the torrent file I downloaded if it helps in any way (in case it is a virus?), doubt it would tho
Notes (could be unrelated):
* Yesterday, I messed with my ram stick, I wanted to check something on it so I took it out and it took me a couple of tries to get it back in the right spot, I hope I didn't damage it?
* My Internet is down, my router got messed up for some reason and a technician will only come to fix it in 4 days..
