Hi the good people! I have some trouble with my PC. I downloaded a theme for windows 8.1 and then i ran it. I got a black screen, i could only see my cursor! So i restarted my PC and the same problem was showing up. My pc is 3 weeks old. It's a gaming PC :(. So i tried to repair. It didn't work. So i restored it to a date before my pc got bricked. After that i turned on my pc and windows worked. But the theme was applied. So i tried to go in the folders to delete the theme but it didn't work. The folders wont open and i didn't had controll over the pc. It was like someone was doing it via virus...... And then i got a message " Your pc ran into a problem" so i repeated the same thing. Got into my pc and tried to delete the theme. But slowly errors took over and at the end i could not get to deskop. So when i tried to restore via my CD It said your pc ran into a problem. Everytime i did something. Afterward my PC said it has no hard drive to restore till.......... So when i power on my pc it says automatic repair and goes to recovery mode. When i click something it says ran into a problem or hard drive not found...... Please help :(

Thanks. Sorry for bad english.

just reinstall your windows with a fresh instal that involve formatting the partition and then do a clean instal and stay away from these kind of things in the future. win 8 is f'ed up already as it is.
 
Yes. A reminder to all out there - when you purchase a new computer - first thing you should always do is create the "bootable recovery media" - as they don't typically ship with the DVDs.....you can download the ISO from digital river and create a bootable USB flash drive and/or DVD
