    Is my windows broken or my PC?


    My computer loads and I'm able to log into my account, but once it loads to desktop I either get a black screen with only my cursor or my desktop background with no applications and nothing on the taskbar. Nothing works, even task manager. I've tried reinstalling windows with an external USB and hard resetting my PC, but nothing works. I've had so much stress I'm just about ready to strip her down and sell her parts to buy a new one. Any ideas how to fix this? I've run chkdsk and it comes up with error 6, I havent found a fix for it and I've run scannow which always fails.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
