Last night my computer crashed while watching a video. It was a pretty dramatic crash that caused the displays to glitch and a loud buzzing noise, similar to what would happen if you bumped a N64 cartridge. The error doesn't show up in BlueScreenView.
Once the machine was back up it gave the error: "CLIStart.exe - Bad Image! C: \Windows\System32\mscml6.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error".
Google suggests this is a Catalyst issue. Since I figured the official catalyst driver I was using doesn't work properly, I downloaded the latest beta driver for my HD7950. Midway through the install my screens went blank then into powersave mode and never came back on. The computer didn't appear to be frozen because I could see the network lights flickering.
After some time I manually restarted the system. While starting Windows ran ChkDsk. I waited for a bit but it seemed like it was taking forever so as far as I know errors were scrolling up the screen all night. This morning it was booted into windows so I ran sfc \scannow and it tells me it is unable to fix some of the corrupt files.
I figured I'd worry about it later, then again while watching a video, I got another bluescreen. This time the error was recorded and is viewable in BlueScreenView.
Here's a screenshot of everything. Notice how there is now a line of corruption that runs across my desktop. That happened the first time it crashed last night where it didn't even record an error. You will also notice 3 BSOD's this month, I haven't had a BSOD all year then all the sudden I'm getting them.
It seems to happen with videos, not games. I was playing 2 instances of Borderlands 2 with my roomate for hours earlier with no issues. I took the left monitor and he took the right. The computer ran one instance native and one in Sandboxie 1920x1200x2 max settings but with some of the extra fancy lighting settings checked off and physics on low at 60fps. No errors there.
