Hey guys, just a quick question for you more experienced techies out there. Last night I had to unplug my pc and take out the majority of parts to get the motherboard out and replace the chipset fan.
When I plugged it back in and started windows up, I was greeted with a buckload of
"Windows - corrupt file the file or directory C:\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\xxxxxx.xx is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chdsk utility."
messages (xxxxx's in place of whatever dozens of files were mentioned)
I ran a check / repair disk app, it indeed seems to have fixed the majority of things. Now however I have a buttload of software that crash when I spark it up. (iTunes, Skype, Firefox couldn't seem to read CSS, then eventually fixed itself (O_o))
My question is :
AVG/Avast don't seem to find any virus. What else could have caused this?
Now that the problems are fixed, should I be worried about my hard drive sploding on me or am I safe and sound?
Did check disk fix my problems and thus now I'm just left with the option of reinstalling what is crapped up as I find it?
Durned computers v_v
Edit note : The corrupted files did not stop windows from booting. However, I recieved these messages at the "User selection" screen on start up. I opened up my User account and got to my desktop fine. After a while some more warnings popped up.
