I can’t quite recall the exact details, but it was something along those lines—some corrupted files popped up right while that Windows file was expanding.
So, my computer is acting up again, and I need to figure out what's actually going on under the hood. My brother picked this thing up for himself—he’s away at college in another city right now—so I'm basically flying blind here. As far as I can tell, the specs are an Intel Core i3, 4GB of Corsair DDR4, some kind of 500GB WD HDD, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 750, and an old motherboard.
Hey everyone, I’ve run into a bit of a nightmare here and if anyone can help me out, I’d be seriously grateful. Basically, I tried firing up my PC yesterday and it gets stuck right at the Windows logo—it just won't move past it. I try rebooting, and it’s the same story. I attempted to boot into Safe Mode, but it took about 20 minutes just to load, and even then, the whole system was crawling at a snail's pace. So, last night I figured I'd just wipe everything and reinstall Windows, but that was a total disaster too. The progress bar was moving at a literal crawl—like 1% every half hour. I eventually gave up and went to bed, only to wake up this morning to some random error message staring me in the face. Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue what's going on. Is it the HDD? The processor? Some nasty virus?
