I am NOT recommending that you do this (in case something goes wrong), but I usually just turn my PC off with the power button and turn it back on, or even just hit the reset button, and I boot back up no issues.

Existing install, with all my files and programs there.


I also did the same, but i kind of bump into it and even made my GPU fall out place, the screen when black but that was it, simply turn it off and fixed the GPU, nothing else got "dislocated".


I'll format/reinstall windows if this goes on till tomorrow, even tough i was also researching and i heard that your motherboard or pressing F11 restores "checkpoints" of your PC, is that true?

With the checkpoints - you need to make it to Windows (safe mode or normal).

The best setup for any computer is a 3 drive system - an OS drive, a data drive and a backup drive. The OS drive is best with an SSD (128GB/250GB) or smaller hard drive (300GB or less), a good data drive (1TB-2TB) and backup drive (2TB-4TB). I create an image of my OS drive, and backup not only my computer - but the rest of the computers on the network using SyncBack Free....

With that setup, if your OS drive corrupts - you can restore the image (you loose programs/updates since the last image was done), reinstall Windows, etc...and never worry about losing your data. The backup drive keeps everything safe.

I guess i am gonna leave it up the entire night, since i can't do anything to it, no safe mode, no restore points, no nothing i guess if it keeps doing it after 8-9 hours i have to reset, windows entirely. great.
