Well I guess there's no solution then :sweatsmile: Virustotal looks like a nice solution to me, but it didn't find anything either. And neither Chat GPT nor Perplexity have found anything suspicious in the numbers posted : 6400 0100 0000 6c84 ddbc eb64 055f 5367 0000 0000 7851 0000 0000 b66e I...

Thanks a lot!I opened it with Sublime Text and I saw this : 6400 0100 0000 6c84 ddbc eb64 055f 5367 0000 0000 7851 0000 0000 b66e I asked Chat GPT and Perplexity to analyze it : they both indicate there seems to be no trace of threats. Would I see anything different with the one you mentioned...

Oh sorry, I get it now :) It seems to me to be a very rigorous method; I try to be too, but my knowledge is limited to the use of certain software. For my part, this morning I had a BSOD with error 0xc0000218. Searching for the MEMORY.DMP file, I found several hidden files here: C: Windows...

Thanks again for the good advices ;) I would never bill my clients for the time I'd spend to rebuild my OS ; I will do it on my personal time. But the option of cloning after testing the Windows files seems right to me, even if the 10% risk you mention will probably haunt some of my nights ;)...

Ow and I was thinking : of course I need a clean install to avoid re-creating the same scenario for my new SSD. But if the issue I had is only because I did not update my SSD's firmware for at least 2 years, would you say it is reasonable to clone my actual system to the new SSD? Now I'm...

You're absolutely right! Thanks a ton for your help :) I will install my new SSD next week hopefully ; I just need to list all my softwares for an easy re-installation on the 990 Pro.

My firmwares are actually that old... I had an "as light as possible" Windows installation because I already use a lot of softwares and plugins so I didn't want to slow down my system with too many assistants (I also have WD and Crucial onboard, and as you mentioned, WD SSDs had issues with...

Thanks a lot :) Well, that's interesting! I've checked my laptop as well and the same empty folders (no exe files in them, only files with no extension in some of them) are there too... Hitfile Pro found potential things like Chrome add-ons (video download manager), on my two computers. I'm...

Hello :) I am currently trying to get the exe files that launch and disappear (which actually seems quite suspicious) but I still need to solve an issue with ProcMon... It has no end :sweatsmile:

Oww :( That's what I thought... But I didn't find anything with Windows Defender, AdwCleaner, ESET, nor Malwarebytes. Would you have any suggestion to help me please ?

Hello and thank you very much for your reply :) I am especially surprised that it dropped so fast from 99% to 61% and still wonder how I could avoid the same issue in my next clean install. Is there anything I could do to know what could have caused such a drop so fast? Before it all happened...

Thank you very much for your messages and details! Since my problems appeared after the installation of 24H2, I was thinking about installing Windows 23H2. Wouldn't that be safer? I will of course update my Bios and I take good note of the Bitlocker thing :)

Hello and thank you for your message :) I just read that 24H2 has been reported as a crash maker for some SSD : Affected users report recurring crashes with errors such as “CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED”, “KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR” ou “INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE” (CyberPowerPC, Droix, Stellarinfo) And...

Hello and thank you very much for your replies :) I only use C: for my programs but this SSD is on my main PC and I work as a musician and a motion graphics designer, so my main productions are made on this PC. But yes, I only work on a separate NVMe SSD (D:) and also on 2 portable Samsung T7...

Hello to you all :) I'm new on the forum so please, don't hesitate to tell me if I'm in the right place to talk about this. Since the update to Windows 11 Professional 24H2 and an ene.sys issue, my PC seems to be under the weather. First, I saw the space on C: shrink unexpectedly. I tested...
