After multiple overclocking failures and forced/failed restarts/POST's, I have a problem with msi.dll files. I cannot open any Office software and some other software apart from it.
It gives an error stating "...EXE is invalid" with a long message containing my System32 path and msi.dll.
I've read on the internet lots of ppl having this issue after forced restarts of the system and/or failed POST's but they're stuck in how to fix it. So am I!
- I tried to run Cmd in Safe Mode (admin) and try sfc /scannow which doesn't work: http://imgur.com/itzyy72
- I tried a System Repair but it only let me go as far as few hours AFTER the problem was already there (I did run it though but problem remains)
- I browsed around for software but they all seems to be not free (and virus)
- I would've Clean Install Windows 8 to spare me all the hastle (aside for downloading/installing everything back >_>) but I do not have the CD as this was installed prior when I bought the PC. However, I do have the key which I found through Belarc Advisor. (or a Windows 10 installation if you would suggest that)
- My OS is Windows 8.1 (x64) and is on my SSD, which is almost full (120GB and 11GB free)
I'm wondering if there's any other way of repairing this?
Also I'm quite new to software and installations so if you might have suggestions, I would love to be able to understand it 😛 (noob-friendly)
Cheers
