[0.6.3+] direct crash on start up (win7_64)

[kwukduck]

Today i noticed my bitcoin client crashed when i checked my pc, so i started it again but i got an immediate message that bitcoin-qt had stopped working. Rebooted, tried again, same story.
Deleted my logs and ran it again to check if they had something usefull to say, but no log files were created.

I downloaded 0.7.0rc3 and tried to run that, it crashed directly at start up too but it did give me 3 lines in the db.log:

Code:

page 4294967295: illegal page type or format
PANIC: Invalid argument
PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery

That's all though, should i delete the entire blockchain again and redownload? That will take days... i hope there's a better solution. (already tried rescan too)
