double check windows updates too now the component store is fixed.
if still problems with swtor, Next step to try is take the system to a full clean boot per this link and try swtor again.

it will only be there if the video card is not running default clocks
you can instead try using DDU as mentioned at this link and do a clean install of the video driver
This is to try and find a cause for the Bccode 7F reports listed in your dxdiag , they may be ram related too so if your ram is 2 sticks of 4GB see if you can take 1 out at a time as an easy way to check the system too.
I'm a noob when it comes to computers, what does "clocks" mean in this case?
I can attempt that but I don't want to mess too much with that as I understand nothing of what it entails short of deleting all my drivers. What running this program exactly entails? Will I have to use an alternate computer/notebook to connect with my new PC in order to install the drivers? Or do I just run it and it does its thing then I re-install my drivers?
I can't remove my RAM now as its 11 PM and it'd do a lot of noise to mess with tools right now. But I can attempt that in the morning in order to isolate the issue.
Clocks is clock speed of the video card in this case
If not sure on DDU simply uninstall the nvidia driver and select custom and clean install on this driver from nvidia.com
I still don't know what that means. Regardless I'll do just that. How do I uninstall my drivers though?
Press the windows key and type add it should pop up with add or remove programs, then you scroll down until you find the nvidia listed and uninstall everything nvidia wise
then run the driver i listed , it should allow the prompt of custom install and you will then see a tick box to select clean install
Thanks, will do.
EDIT: The scan you told me to do had this to say
EDIT 2: I uninstalled all Nvidia related programs as you instructed and ran the driver installation with custom and clean install but I'm still unable to start the debug mode. The option is still not there. Should I attempt it again?
Will need to check on the nvidia if that driver really has it included
in regards to the sfc finding corrupt files open the command prompt as administrator again and try the below
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
see if that works
@proxos666 and where would I check that? GeForce experience? Within Nvidia's site?
I typed that in the CMD after I ran it as administrator and here's what it said. Apologies for the Brazilian Portuguese. Will attempt my best at translating it.
Ferramenta de Gerenciamento e Manutenção de Imagens de Implantação(Deployment Image Maintenance and Management Tool)
Versão: 10.0.17134.1 (Version)
Versão da Imagem: 10.0.17134.1006 (Image Version)
That appears to be the response when it starts scanning it should take a while to finish
edit - see this link for how it should look when running
I've done that but nothing happens. I'm still getting the same message without any additional things appearing.
Edit: NVM its scanning now.
Edit 2: Here is what shows. I'm assuming the issue is fixed now.
You can run the sfc /scannow again to be sure
that will fix the store issues , this may help say there are windows updates , unsure if related to swtor but at least this is fixed
Well thanks for the help! And the patience in explaining me things. I'll run the scan and post the results when they are done. Anything else I can do that is possibly related to the random CTDs?
I am hoping this will resolve the bluescreens if it doesn't may need to test the ram next
hard to say what is happening with swtor at present, given you have done a clean install on the video driver and fixed the store issue, maybe best to see what is occurring now this has been done.
I haven't ran SWTOR since creating the thread as a matter of fact as I wanted to test out all the solutions in order to see if anything worked. I'll update the situation after I play for a while today, if no CTD occurs then I guess the issue has been fixed. In the case a blue screen happens again (Though its rare for it to happen) I'll test out my RAM. I'm planning on trying to upgrade my PC in about 5 months so I'll be getting new RAMs so hopefully I don't have to deal with faulty hardware for too long.
Edit: Here is what the scan had to say.
Edit 2: I checked Windows Update and it seems I had an update to install.
Edit 3:I just crashed to desktop again after being online for less than 5 minutes. The issue has not been fixed.

All right so there was an update from Windows that I was missing so I've finally finished installing it and downloading. I'll re-boot my computer and see how it goes, I'm quite frankly not optimistic about it so chances are I'll have to do the full clean boot. Question just to make sure in case I need to do it, if I start up on clean boot following your guide and SWTOR doesn't crash do I just proceed as the guide says and de-active some setting or is there anything specific I should look at it based on all the information we have so far? I don't mind doing trial-an-error here. I'm just wondering if there is anything specific I should look for.
All right I've ran 2/3 flashpoints so far with different graphics settings (Just in case that was what was causing the CTDs in case my optimization wasn't really optimized). And so far I haven't had a single CTD, compared to earlier today and yesterday the game is incredibly more stable after doing all of that so I think the issue has been fixed for now, thank you very much for your help.
