If you suspect this, but you’ve already emptied the Recycle Bin, you may be able to recover jvm.dll with a free file recovery program. However, do this only if you’re confident that the file was working properly when it was deleted (i.e., it wasn’t corrupt or malicious). Try your best to complete this step. You might have to first uninstall Java (there’s a special tool offered there to do that) and then download a fresh version.

If the hardware fails any of your tests, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as possible.
