Title: Need help with "Fatal Error"
Post by: granttes on January 03, 2017, 04:16:47 PM
Hey everyone,

I haven't used my wallet in a year in a half and wanted to check on some bitcoin I purchased in there. When I opened the bitcoin core wallet, it told me I had to upgrade it and I did. It must have been downloading the ledger and while it did so I probably put the computer to sleep. When it came back on I kept getting this "fatal error". I would try to redownload it and it would download, but at one point it would stop and give me the error. I have a back up of my wallet just in case.

Here is the debug log information:

 Could be faulty RAM or faulty hard drive.  If you don't already have a backup of your wallet.dat file, do it now.
