after my hard disk has got corrupted and my pc stopped working I purchased a new hard disk. have downloaded the bitcoin core wallet and added my backed up wallet.dat into /roaming folder. The wallet shows my correct balances and all transactions but I'm not able to unlock it with my correct password when I try to send or receive bitcoins (I did secure it with my password).

At the beginning I thought the password/s I was using aren't correct, but then I made an observation, that only when I type in only one specific password then I receive this message in popup:

assertion failed<<<
program: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe<<<
File: wallet/crypter.cpp, line 205<<<
expression false<<<

Runtime Error<<<
program: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe<<<

When I enter any other passwords only message I get your password is incorrect and never receive the message in popup described above. I can use incorrect passwords all day and that message doesn't appear at all, but as soon as I enter correct password the message is on.

after I enter my password I expected to unlock my wallet, but that isn't a case and instead I get an error and I'm not able to send or receive bitcoins

This error message appears only when I type in my correct password. If I type in any other password this message doesn't appear, but instead it tells me the provided password is incorrect. Message in a popup when a correct password is being used:

assertion failed<<<
program: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe<<<
File: wallet/crypter.cpp, line 205<<<
expression false<<<

Runtime Error<<<
program: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe<<<

each time I enter the correct password the window with the message with an error message appears. If I type in any other (not correct) password this doesn't happen at all. I can type 20 incorrect passwords and the error message above doesn't popup.

v0.17.0
Have downloaded it from bitcoin.org website

windows 8.1
64 bit operating system
500GB SSD hard disk
intel celeron cpu N2840 2.16 GHz

I have reinstalled the wallet, deleted all files under /roaming folder (approx. 145GB), so totally clean
installation. Only old file is my wallet.dat file.
