Title: Bitcoin Core MinGW Runtime Assertion Error on Wallet Launch
Post by: Gremwatch on September 14, 2016, 10:55:30 PM
So just today when I tried to launch my bitcoin wallet I am receiving this error I ran a couple searches on the forum and on google but didn't turn up anything. Dose any one who is more familiar with bitcoin wallet have any ideas?

So far i have uninstalled and reinstalled the wallet in both x64 and x86 varieties.

Here is a link to a picture of the error.

Try starting Bitcoin Core with the -reindex option. If that doesn't work, go to the data directory and delete the chainstate and databases folders.
