Windows 7 Corrupted files.

[jslotskies]

Windows 7 machine, SFC /scannow identified corrupt files that could not be repaired. fde.dll, fdeploy.dll, gptext.dll all corrupted. Its an AMD machine, but some of these files have intel references? I am attaching the sfcdetails.
It may be relevant, but I recently had a motherboard go bad, and had to reinstall windows, and provide a new key, and that process was not without problems. As far as I know I am up to date on all windows updates, and these corrupted files are the only problem. I did the scan because my computer is routinely freezing, it seems to be related to 3d video effects, but the forum for the game that causes the most crashes suggested a freeze of this nature may be a drivers issue.
Your help would be appreciated. I saw others with similar problems that received excellent help from this forum, so you guys are pretty great at this stuff.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
I'll do some testing to see if I can reproduce the freezes, but from the perspective of "is this specific issue fixed" I suspect the answer is definitely yes.

Okay, report the result when done.

 

[jslotskies]

The freezes are still occurring. I have run the scan since the most recent freezes, and no corrupt files are detected, so I have to assume they aren't the cause. I am open to suggestions on solutions. I may try using an older video card driver.

 

[PeterJ]

We can have a look in more detail what is running and maybe an error is logged.

FRST Scan:

1. Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:
   64-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
   Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
   
2. Right-click to run the tool as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
3. Note: Ensure that the Addition.txt check box is checked at the bottom of the form within the Optional Scan area.
4. Press the Scan button.
5. Please wait for the tool to finish. It will produce two logfiles called FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should be the desktop)
6. Post the logfiles FRST.txt and Addition.txt as attachment in your next reply.
