I have to reformat it almost every 2 days now. It keeps failing to boot, giving me the 'ntoskrnl.exe file has been corrupted' message, amongst some other errors, but mostly this one. In Windows, programs continously crash with an error report, random services fail to boot etc.
I tried to fix it with methods like these:

.. but no matter what I put in repair console, it didn't fix it.
I recently stuck a new hard drive in the laptop so it couldn't be a hard drive failure. Which other hardware could cause a laptop to malfunction like this?
-
Get a better, clean ISO.
-
Could you elaborate?
-
Yeah sure man, it was just a matter of sliding the thing in :)
I had the same trouble with my previous hdd, the laptop started to crap out randomly with the errors described above. Starting Windows would take a long time, it's like the computer got stuck and forgot what it was doing for 10 minutes before continuing. So me thinking it was hard drive related swapped the thing out and a few months later the same thing happens with this one. That's why I'm thinking that maybe the fault is at another end.

My prognosis is thus: you were masturbating to porn on your bed, said porn was inferencing a strong doggystyle vibe, you attempted to replicate this by masturbating in a doggy style style, and accidentally knocked the laptop onto the floor.
A wave of guilt swept over you, and not unlike Gary Busey in that surfing film, you tried, and failed to ride the thing, which ended up with this thread.

try praying to your jesus

Come on, you know a lot of about laptops drinky, help me out dude.

What I meant is to download a clean, untouched windows 7 ISO and reformat. See if it helps.

Pretty sure this is God's judgment on you, ps.

I don't think god would care enough about me to do such things, if he even exists.

Why wouldn't the recover cd work? So you're saying this is OS related, not hardware?
-
Cause I'm not polish?
hehehe

hehehe
I'm sure that's the reason. ;)
Try checking the RAM in the odd case that you have any external modules installed. Those have fucked up with a couple of my PCs.

Could be if the recovery CD is bundled with old drivers and shovelware. It's a wild guess though, it could be hardware, software or anything.

Whoa it's J.M. Romeo, I thought you were annoying for a while on GAF but I had a change of heart somewhere along the line since then. Welcome bro :)
And now that you mention it, I have actually expanded the RAM on this laptop with another GB. And my problems with this laptop have indeed started after that, though it took a while for that to happen.... no way it's the extra RAM that causes this? Is there any plausible explanation for that to happen? :O

Try running it without the extra RAM. See what happens.
Change of heart, sure. Hopefully that change also includes not shitting on people you don't know behinds their backs sitting behind a clever hacker alias.
I am not one to be easily offended, mind you, but maybe someday you will find a person who actually reacts to that.

lol you sound butthurt tho

I'm too tired to get butthurt over internet poo-flinging.
I do find it in very poor taste, though.
EDIT: Anyway, sleepy time. Take that module out and run the computer for a day or two. If it doesn't die, you got yourself the culprit.
-
deal with it bro. People shit on GAF posters all the time around here.
-
deal with it bro.
That is exactly what I did.
And now, for realsies, I'm out.
Get back to us with whatever results you get sans-suspicious RAM.

Keyboard issue
Miscellaneous corruption
Corrupt boot.ini file.
Missing boot.ini file.
Missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe file.
Windows NT installed on a partition bigger then 7.8GB
Corrupted hard disk drive or severely corrupted Windows.
You've replaced the HDD, so it's not that.
So...
Swap keyboard.
Install your OS a different way, your copy may be fucked. I once had that problem with a copy of XP I had. Something was wrong with it and I always had lingering problems when installing it on a new PC.
One of these things will prob fix your prob

It's been a while since I last fiddled with machines, but mismatched or damaged RAM can certainly make your machine behave exceedingly badly.
If you can check your HDD media for errors first, and confirm that there are no bad sectors, going back to your initial RAM settings should be your next step.
Also, waive a dead chicken over your head.
