Gotcha. You mentioned you put the PC into Recovery Mode and tried to reinstall Windows, but it didn’t work. What happened that prevented the re-installation of Windows? Did the PC just shutdown during installation, or were you wholly unable to get the Windows installer to run?
If you’re still able to boot into Recovery Mode/Safe Mode, try opening up a Command Prompt and running an the SFC Scan and DISM commands outlined here: howtogeek.com/…/how-to-repair-corrupted-windows-s…
When I was trying to reinstall, it stopped in the middle and gave me. The blue screen. I can trick it into the recovery ry mode, so I’ll give the command a try. Thank you
One of the first hardware things I check when a system starts getting a bit fucky is the memory. Check out memtestx86. Depending on how beefy your system is, you may have to let it run for a day or so, but it will do a rather thorough series of bitwise checks of your entire memory space, and let you know if there are any hardware faults, and indicate which physical module is the problem. If that gives you any hits (and assuming the RAM is swappable/upgradeable), just swap out your memory with some new ones (I always go with factory-paired modules, unless it’s a system I don’t care much about).
