Problem signature 07 CorruptFile on Windows 7 Professional

I have had a machine crash and the startup repair cannot detect the problem.

I do see in the details Problem signature 07 CorruptFile.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thank you

An MS forum site has a recommendation of performing a repair install, but I would personally try a sfc /scannow procedure first (if you're able to) to see if this will resolve the issue.

I saw that article, I can't get far enough to do anything in it. Startup repair won't work. sfc /scannow says another repair has to complete and to restart, but still doesn't work.

If able to boot then upload the .dmp file located in windows folder. Upload the minidump file.

Boot from windows 7 disc.. and try system restore...if that does not work then got to command prompt...launch notepad and then copy the .dmp file to flash drive. upload the .dmp in EE. Minidump.
