    Hi TonyB

    Ok it might work but it would be piracy unless its a link from MS since its the OS
    What I was going to do is send windows 10 repair files threw OneDrive that I made in control panel but there was going to be nothing on it except the default Recovery Drive Options and that wont work because I would have to send the entire OS since the Default Recovery Options is not enough in his case and sending the OS could get me in extreme trouble

    However if you have a link from MS then he can download it put it on a stick and repair his PC with it.
    So good thinking TonyB if you have the link from MS

  3. Hello Timmy thanks to Me*Smile and TonyB*Cool
    We have got a link for you
    here is what I want you to do
    click the link in TonyB's post
    then download that to a USB Flash Drive
    start your PC to it; the install wizard will have a repair your PC option at the bottom left click that
    try to do a System Restore to before any problems with your PC started
    if that fails then try to do a Automatic System Repair
    One of these should fix your issue.

    It might be my graphics card that broke my computer.

    So how is it.

    Similar experience as what I had.

    went away from home for two hours and I was back, the browser I was using at the time firefox was very slow and at that time it was loading my email inbox as the webpage was open. I thought this was very slow and then I tried to reboot the computer. On the way the computer was being reboot, I clicked on file folders and I saw the download folder was empty but the documents folder at that time was ok.
    Then I reboot my computer and all documents, pictures, videos, downloads, programs, etc gone.

    After logging in to my profile on Win 7, I saw a black screen like what you had. C drive size was almost full in size 1.77 TB out of 1.8 TB. There were only 5 GB left before it had happened.

    Couldn't read files on USB slots.

    Took off the drive and made it an external drive and had to fix the file system to enable it to be displayed n any computer. Recovered and got 70% (1.2 TB) out of 1.7 TB files back.

    I still have the problematic drive in case miracles happen.

  7. This thread is 1 year old today. Last post before yours was 23 Aug 2015. Odds are you won't get a reply from the OP. Best to start your own thread. *Wink
