Cannot run DBCC CHECKDB

    This isn't a corrupt table, it's a corrupt database.

    There's damage to some critical system table. This is not repairable in any way. CheckDB cannot repair the system tables as doing so may have unacceptable effects on the rest of the database.

    Your only options here are:

    1) Restore to a clean backup. If you have log backups dating from that clean backup you can restore without data loss. Otherwise accept that you will lose everything since that backup

    2) Script all objects and export all data. Accept that some may fail because of the corruption. Recreate the database from what you can get out.

    Take a look at this article. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/65804/
