Windows 10: Lenovo IdeaCentre Re-Install Issue

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone,

I come to you guys as I am 100% stumped and I wonder if anyone can help at all!

My parents have a simple Lenovo ideacentre 310S - nothing fancy, done the job they use it for. I recently had a phone call to say it was not working, and with the Covid restrictions, tried to diagnose via video call etc, with no luck. Managed to visit them this week.

When the machine boots, it immediately comes up with Preparing Automatic Repair, then Diagnosing Your PC and eventually ends up at the blue Automatic Repair screen. I have tried everything to get it repaired and nothing works. Windows and their files are still there on the harddrive so I am at a loss.

Having tried everything I could think of, I decided to just reinstall Windows 10 and be done with it. I ripped out the old HDD, and placed a new SSD in to test. Created the bootable USB image via the Microsoft tools. Plug in, boot the machine and the menu comes up for Windows 10 Setup (64-bit) or (32-bit). Select 64-bit, and the screen goes black, the progress bar comes up Loading Files... and completes.

The blue Windows logo appears on the screen, then it flashes with some green "noise", goes black and it reboots to the Windows Boot Manager again.





If I leave it, after the 3rd attempt, it comes up with some bad corruption and the whole computer freezes (pulling the power is the only option).





Tried 32-bit after switching to Legacy in the BIOS, and does exactly the same.

I have tried diagnostics in the BIOS, all pass without errors. I can play for hours in the recovery menu with no graphical issues, which suggests its not the integrated graphics. I've tried the VGA and HDMI output.

Does anyone have any ideas at all? Its only a couple of years old and they don't use it a great deal so its really annoying if we have to bin it an buy something else, but I am all but at a loss now! I know Lenovo is generally junk, but they wanted something cheap at the time, and we needed it there and then to replace the old one, so we were limited with our selection, else I would have gone with something else.

Any suggestions very welcome! Thanks in advance everyone!

Touchscreen issue on Lenovo ideacentre following update

Following a Windows update to Windows 10, the screen on my Lenovo ideacentre AIO is acting as if it is receiving multiple, more or less random touches. We had not even be using the touch screen prior to the update. The mouse is also useless as the PC has
taken on a life of its own and trying to disable the touch screen is rendered impossible as you cannot get the mouse to the right place due to random movements. There are ghostly white circles appearing up an down the middle of the screen, presumably because
it believes it is being touched. Please don't suggest this is a hardware issue, there was no problem pre-update and there appear to be similar problems happening to others with no obvious solution ...
