Windows 10: Virus wont allow changes to hard drive. is there any hope?

Diagnosis: my computer has a virus. this virus wont let me make any changes to the hard drive no updates no install/uninstall. Playing Baldur's Gate 3 and game kept crashing with the BSoD. I had plenty free memory, but uninstalled some games to see if maybe that was a problem the games didn't uninstall! Went to update windows and was unable. went to play Enlisted and got an error. Unable to reset the computer, it reboots instead. unable to wipe all data gets to 50% or so and stops or reboots tried to reset the computer from cloud and from local same fail. unable to access safemod

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
