- What exactly do you mean with corrupted?
- In your other post you say it's a new computer? What does the shop say when you return it under warranty and ask them to fix it? It could be a hardware issue (bad RAM, bad hard disk, bad motherboard).
Making a backup of the setup program of games you bought on an external disk is a good idea, unless the corruption occurs already before you do the backup.
i have a problem with my computer :
the problem continues to happen to me every windows i install.
what happens is that a lot of programs begins to crash a lot.
and a lot of .dll files begins to be corrupted.
and i have to install another windows so i can continue working on my computer.
some details about my computer :
Ram : 4GB
processor : intel core I3-2120 CPU 3.30 GHz 3.30 GHz
Graphics Card : AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series 1 GB
MotherBoard : gigabyte P61A-D3
Windows : windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
.Net framework : i prefer .net framework 4
i can provide any other details you want to help you figure the solution of my problem.
BTW i notice that some games i had asked me to check their files to see if any file is corrupted and they found a lot if corrupted files and it happens again and again so i bought an external hard disk so i can store my games without being afraid to lose them.
