  1. Factory reset results in black screen and doesn't finish


    I'm trying do a factory reset on an Alienware PC that I got a while ago. Whenever I hit reset, it takes about 30 minutes to finish loading, and then my computer goes into a black screen. The PC is still on, as my mouse still lights up and the logo on the PC does as well, but I don't recieve any HDMI input for my monitor. It's almost like the PC is in sleep mode. Perhaps I didn't wait long enough, but I did a head reset on the computer and it reverted to exactly how I had it before. Do I need to wait longer or am I doing something wrong?

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:
