    Hi, this is my first time running bitcoin, and it ran smoothly for a good hour or two but then it crashed. It then came up with this error and said System Error: Database Corrupted. assertion failed

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advanced

    Looks like a LevelDB error I've never seen before... are you overclocking your system? Did you perhaps mine while using the client?

    I experienced the same error. And I'm running the Bitcoin and the Litecoin client side by side... Maybe it's related to that...

    Same as #2533

    @kartcl14 Can you try starting your client with -reindex added once, so it can rebuild the block-database. If this issue is solved or didn't occur again, please close this ticket.

    I have the latest version: 0.8.6, and I'm still getting this error. So clearly it has not been fixed. I've attached a screencap of the error I got today. I'm running Windows 7 Pro SP1, with 32GB of RAM. If anyone knows how to fix this on the client end, can they please include step-by-step instructions? bitcoin-qt-error-message

    Try running with -reindex command line argument. That should fix the corruption.
