Bitcoin core error: "Error: A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log"

I restarted it and it's been updating for about 30 mins with no problems so far. (Fingers crossed.) 3 days behind right now.
If it still doesn't work I'll try the newest version 0.14.0 (I'm still running 0.13.2).

Failing that, is it okay if I delete the last few 'rev008xx.dat' files?

If that doesn't work I'll learn how to open the command prompt and tell it to reindex.
The absolute last resort will be to download the entire blockchain and start again - we only get 500kbyte/sec download speed here.. it took 2 weeks last time I did a fresh download! (About 4 months ago.)

Thanks

The problem is quite obvious, your blockchain is corrupted. What you can do is to reindex or just delete the entire blockchain to start again. To reindex, start Bitcoin Core from command prompt/terminal.

Hi
Was letting Bitcoin Core update, and it came up with this after a couple of hours:
"Error: A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log for details".

Here it is in the debug.log file:

I don't know what it could be.
I did a full RAM test a few months ago that gave a full pass.
Can I delete the last few 'rev008xx.dat' files and restart it?

Thanks
