CBS Logs corrupt files

standard219 · Jul 11, 2013

I recently had a few crashes during Borderlands 2 (:banghead:), and after doing a full virus scan and SFC, I found that I have a few corrupt files. I'm not entirely sure how to read the CBS.log, but when I look at it, I can't see any specific files listed. I'll include an image of the System File Check message, and a copy of the CBS.log below.

I'm hoping to get some help reading the CBS.log, or determining what exactly is happening with my computer.

Hello, and welcome to Sysnative :)

To prevent the CBS logfile from becoming too large and to save hard disk space, when it reaches a certain threshold in size, it is renamed & compressed. This has happened here. Your CBS.log reached that threshold just before you uploaded it, so there's no useful data in it. I need to get access to the compressed (we call it "persisted") logfile. This means I need the whole CBS folder to help you. Please follow these instructions carefully:

Export CBS folder

Click the Start button

then click Computer.
Double-click on the C: drive, under the Hard Disk Drives category, and then scroll down to, and double click on the Windows folder.
Find and double click on the Logs folder.
Right-click on the CBS folder, and select Copy.
Go back to your Desktop, right-click on it, and select Paste. You should now see a copy of the CBS folder appear on your Desktop called CBS.
Right-click on this new folder, and navigate through Send to, and select Compressed (zipped) folder.
A new file, also called CBS (CBS.zip), but this time with a different icon, will be created. Upload this new file.

Thank you!

Richard,

thank you for the response. I'll attach my CBS.zip below. I had to split the file in to because it exceeded the file size for this site.

Hello,

I was hoping to see if you've had any luck finding our what is wrong with my computer? I appreciate your help. I've attempt to refresh my OS, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've run virus scans, etc, with not luck.

Thanks again,
Josh
