Windows 10: New PC not Working

So, just a few days ago I received a new PC I bought off eBay. For a couple days it worked fine but this afternoon it suddenly took a turn for the worst.


At random times, mostly when I'm booting the PC up, the monitor says something about it having no signal, but the DVI cable is screwed in tight. When it DOES work there are usually blue spots all over the screen. "No problem!" I thought, "I'll just buy a new cable later!", but that isn't the extent of my issues.


Often while booting up I'll get a screen telling me how Windows couldn't load or something, so I'm forced to restart my PC over and over until it finally boots up properly only to crash later. A tech savvy friend of mine told me this is all a driver issue but I'm not sure. If any of you could help that'd be great!

Also, as I'm writing this, Windows has been updating for about a half hour and is only on 21%, should I be worried?

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
