It is doable but very difficult, if your thinking of wiping the HDD then you may possibly as properly try out employing Ccleaner to fix the errors.

You could do it if you’ve got a few years to spare … and you know what you’re doing. It can be quite a complex undertaking is what I’m saying.
Other than that, it would be simpler, and quicker, to format your hard drive and reinstall Windows.
Hi there,
It is possible to fix registry errors one-by-one. But it can take a very long time and some registry keys are written in “hex” and can not even be read (so you will not know what they are).
If your computer is not running slow there is probably nothing wrong with the registry.
The random crashes can be caused by heat buildup, corrupted hardware driver or hardware drivers that are not compatible. Software conflicts can also cause random crashes.
First….. I would update drivers for any hardware you are using.
Second… I would open the side cover and blow out any dust that may have accumulated over time.
While the case is open carefully reach in and make sure all the cables are tight.
If you have a video card make sure it is firmly inserted into it’s slot.
Do the same thing with the ram sticks.
Before removing the case be sure the computer is unplugged and before reaching inside touch the metal in the case to discharge any static electricity buildup. Also do not touch any part of the circuit board with your fingers. (only the edges).
You also can download and run PC Wizard and it will tell you the temoeratures of the processor, motherboard and video card. PC Wizard is very handy to have to answer any questions about your hardware and software.
You can download and run Memtest86 which can check your ram memory. A bad stick of ram also can cause random computer crashes (no warning usually).
Microsoft also has a nice (free) memory diagnostics tool that I have used.
