Okay, I'm gonna start from the bottom here to make it simple and try not to make it boring.
My MacBook Pro is stuck in infinite loading times, when you see the white apple logo and a little spinning loading thingy. Also, I have bootcamp installed with Windows 7, same problem persists, also just loading forever. Here's what happened in steps.
1: I was having an english class, I opened my dictionary and I had pages open, suddenly the computer stopped responding.
2: I restarted the computer, but Finder did not work properly, I couldn't use the computer, there was no finder bar.
3: I booted up in safemode and it started working (for a day).
4: When I again got the problem, I booted up in Windows, which was working perfectly, but a bit slow. I fell asleep so the computer ran out of battery with a usb stick in it.
5: The Windows part now got a bluescreen of death for 1/2 second and then restarted.
6: I went back to try and fix my mac side of the laptop, I held shift on bootup to go to recovery, to discover a "Reinstall Mac OS X" button. I pressed it, and it said it would take 9 hours :O
7: After that was done, my Mac OS worked again (only it was incredibly slow), but Windows still didn't work.
8: I fixed the problem with Windows by booting up in safe mode a few times (I had to do it a few times because it still got the 1/2 second blue screen even though in safe mode)
9: I finally got into Windows in safe mode and decided to ask Windows to go back to the last "functional" time or what it's called. That worked! Windows now worked again, but it was so slow that I couldn't use it at all.
10: The laptop got so slow that I had to shutdown the computer by holding the power button, then the load times were infinite! on both mac and windows.
Notice: I did not know if this was important, to begin with, I thought I burned the RAM because I had custom 16gb ram in it. I changed it back to the original 4gb ram, but it showed no change... at all.
It's a:
MacBook Pro 2011 (I think)
i7 processor
16gb/4gb RAM
Intel HD 3000 GPU
500 gb harddisk
That's all I can tell you specification wide. Thank you for taking your time to look into my problem
