  1. Is this a Windows Problem or a Hardware Problem?


    Help! I'm trapped in an endless loop! Upon booting, Windows attempts to auto repair, which always fails and leads to the troubleshooting menu. From there I'm attempting to reset my PC, but this seems to always lead to a crash during the reset, which then reboots and starts the whole thing over.

    I've tried the reset about 3 times now. The third time it didn't crash but I got a blue screen message reading, "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made."

    I've already safely removed my files from my HDD, so I'm not worried about losing anything. I don't think it's a problem with my HDD but I'm not that experienced so I could be wrong.

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    need HELP - Cant UNDERSTAND what's the PROBLEM

    Hi,

    The fact that your PC failed to start the very first time is worrying, and suggests hardware problem.

    Screen gibberish with Ubuntu can be normal (way the GPU driver kicks in).
    However, the screen gibberish during Windows load is unheard of, and suggests GPU problem (or windows corruption)

    I'd suggest running a thorough memtest86+ from bootable CD/USB first.
    Possible problems:
    - power supply
    - memory
    - graphics card
    - windows corrupted

    Is this a Windows Problem or a Hardware Problem?

    Need some advice on computer problems.

    Run HDtune (free version) on you hard drive. but most likely that the problem. You can also test your memory with Memtest86 as suggested above

    You didn't list your OS
