PC turns on, but Windows won't boot
in IT Support ·
Hello.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this...
I've been dealing with this PC issue for a while now; it’s hit or miss. A few different people have looked at it, but nobody can pinpoint the exact cause. We've swapped out almost everything—used parts for the motherboard, power supply, graphics card, even a fresh install of Windows—but nothing sticks. The only thing left is the hard drive. I suspect the drive might be the culprit, though I'm not entirely sure how a failing drive manifests or if a computer can even function with one that's damaged.
Sometimes it's painfully slow while I'm working, or data transfers crawl, or the whole system just freezes up. A quick reboot usually clears it, for a moment.
The breaking point was the other day. Everything seemed fine, then I clicked a link and the machine just died. Since then, it won't get past the initial startup screen.
Any thoughts on what the issue could be?
Windows 7, using a single hard drive with multiple partitions.
