Hi guys,

I'm experiencing constant crashing after logging into my computer after a few minutes, and have been going into safe mode to see if it is a driver problem as well as attempt to backup my files. I am not sure if this is considered blue screen but it sure acts like one to my eyes. I have not been able to do much in the short amount of time I have after I log in and was wondering if I could receive assistance.

A little backstory on what happened before this problem:

-My computer randomly shut itself down (as if it was doing an automatic windows update)

-I got into boot and it suggested a CHKDSK which I attempted to skip by hitting a key, but it ignored this each time I tried, and would continue to do CHKDSK.

-Each time the CHKDSK would freeze and crash my computer at around 50% completion, but eventually I was able to get past it and complete the CHKDSK

-WIndows updates ran, and I was eventually presented the log-in screen

-Now I am unable to use my computer for more than a few minutes due to freezes.


Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Are you able to get it up and running long enough to check event viewer? The next time it crashes make note of the exact time of day, then when you get it started back up check event viewer and look under windows logs > system and windows logs > application and see if any critical errors show up
