So when I start up my pc it'll try to boot up windows but stops flashes a blue screen and restarts. Then it goes to start up options and says it could be because of hardware or software change. This mean I need to do a fresh install on the Hdd? Don't have a disk though, can you do it with a usb if so?
 
Solution
You can reinstall using a bootable USB drive. Depending on the old system, you might be able to use the old Windows, by setting SATA to IDE in BIOS and uninstalling drivers in safe mode.
