I bought a game on steam the other day, and my comp bsoded right when i went to install it/ think it was just a coincidence that this happened when i was using steam steam. I thought re-installing steam had fixed it. But i came home from school today and my computer was sitting at a black screen with the blinking white underscore thing. I restarted and it went straight to asus bios flash thing. It said that the bios might be corrupted, so i did the repair with it. when it was done it restarted and it bsoded mid way, then i tried again and it went to the check disk screen....i let it check the c drive for consistencies and it restarted when it finished...mid boot it went to a black screen that said this:
"The file is possibly corrupt. The file header check sum does not match the computed check sum" i wrote it down."
I restarted again and it booted right into windows no problem... so wtf is going on? I'm thinking the os got ****ed up somehow. Any ideas other then re-installing?
Might be a ram problem, because i was having a similar problem about a month ago, i narowed it down to the mobo though. I bought a new mobo and it fixed the problem, untill now. So guess i should run memtest to see if i can take that off the list of problems.
EDIT:i just noticed that the cpu utilization is at like 80% just sitting at the desktop with no programs running what so ever, everything also seems to be really slow.
edit2: temps are also fairly high, 3 cores in 60-65. on at about 52-58/ This is mostlikely because of the really high cpu utilization though.
Another bit to add:
I checked coretemp and it said the cpu was at 11ghz....checked cpuz but it said it was normal.
i restarted and it bsoded at hte windows loading screen. Restarted again and it booted up fine. Cpu utilization was back to normal and coretemp said it was at a normal cpu speed again.BUt steam is yet again bot working. (the origional reason i reinstalled steam was becuase it would start to connect to my accound then just go away, every time,)
EDITk, i think it is now pretty much confirmed that it has something to do with steam, because the computer will work fine as far as i can tell, as long as i don't try to run a game in steam (it let me login now) as soon as i try to run frontlines fuel of war it bsod's...i did it several times to be sure.
I tried a repair install too but it just said windows failed to start, insert os disk and select repair...well there is no repair that i can select, it just keeps going to that screen.
Some quick help would be nice guys
Thanks
