  4. Can't boot up my computer--blue screen of death, but can't access administrator recovery...

    For over a week my PC wasn`t responding at all. Blue screen of death and not able to boot. Tried everything to no avail.

    For over a week my PC wasn`t responding at all. Blue screen of death and not able to boot. Tried everything to no avail. It made me believe that the problem was with my device. Decided to buy a new PC and at first use, Windows started playing up again.
    Is Microsoft not responsible for this ? I should get my money back. IT IS A WINDOWS PROBLEM after all
