I installed RougeKiller and Combofix but I never ran them

 

Good.

 

What do I do with the MBR.dat file?

 

That's just a backup of your Master Boot Record. Leave for now until we are done. Then we'll clean it up.

 

Let's uninstall both AVs for now to see if that's preventing you from booting into Normal mode.

 

1. Please uninstall Avast Free Antivirus and AVG 2015.

2. Once they are both uninstalled, let's also run the removal tool. Download and run the AVG 2015 removal tool from here.

3. Then download the Avast removal tool from here and run it.

 

Let me know if you are able to boot normally after these are uninstalled.

 

Thanks.

PS. The program tried to restart my computer back into normal windows, but it became froze on the log in screen once again. So I had to restart it back into safe mode with networking.

 

 

Understood.

I uninstalled AVG first and then I ran its removal tool. Then it had me restart and I was able to boot back into normal mode, though really slowly. Once the removal tool started up after the restart it froze. Then I uninstalled Avast and used it's tool without any problems.  I'm currently still in normal mode.

Perfect. Now, let's do this. Thanks.

 

Step#1 - Fresh Set of Logs
 1. Right click on FRST64.exe and select Run as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
2. Please ensure you place a check mark in the Addition.txt check box at the bottom of the form before running.
3. Press Scan button.
4. It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should now be the desktop)
5. Please copy and paste log back here.
6. Because you selected the Addition.txt check box this log will be created as well. Please copy and paste this log as well. Go ahead and post these before running the next step.

 

 

Step#2 - ChkDsk Scan
1. Right-Click on your Start Screen button in the lower left of your computer and click on Command Prompt (Admin)

2. Answer Yes to allow if you get the User Account Control prompt.
3. You should now have a black window open that you can type in to.
4. Please type chkdsk /R and then press enter. Note: There is a space after the k and before the forward slash.
5. Chkdsk will start to run. Please allow it to finish. You will know it is running when you see text as follows.
Chkdsk.JPG
 
6. Download ListChkdskResult.exe by SleepyDude and save it on your desktop.

7. Right-click this file and select Run as administrator (Allow if prompted) and a text file will open (and also be saved on the desktop as ListChkdskResult.txt).
    Please copy the contents of this file and paste into your next post.

Farbar froze on NvStreamSvc and windows explorer also froze at the same time. Chkdsk says "Chkdsk cannot runs because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts?"

 

I tried to restart Farbar and it froze on the same file again.

Checkdisk stopped at 11% I've let it run since you last posted. I don't think it's going to work. ):

This actually may take awhile to run. It could take several hours if there is damage on the drive that needs fixed. If you are able I would let it go. I'm not sure of your time zone but I'm on Eastern time and it's getting a little late. I'm going to turn in and I'll check back in the morning.

 

I've seen chkdsk take up to 12 hours on some machines. So if possible let it go for awhile.

 

Thanks and talk to you soon.

Unfortunately that's kind of what I was expecting. It looks like the hard drive in this computer is going bad. Bad Clusters were replaced which is OK if it only happens occasionally and as a result of a crash or power issue, etc. The biggest concern is all of the Read failure with status 0xc000009c.  

 

First and foremost, please ensure all of the important data on this machine is backed up!

 

Is the machine still under warranty? If so a Hard Drive replacement can be obtained.

 

A couple things here. If you need assistance with obtaining a hard drive and reloading Windows I can guide you through that process. Just let me know.

 

Also you may want to get a second opinion from our Hardware experts. You can post a topic there and reference this topic if you wish.

 

Let me know what your intentions are. Thank you.
