Since this morning, everytime I try to start my PC i get a blue screen with bold white text at the top saying "Your PC did not start correctly.". Ive been googling all morning but I cant find a way to diagnose this problem. I think it could be my harddrive but Im unsure how to check. According to taskmanager, its constantly at 100% load while the computer worked. There have also been some weird noises coming from my PC for the last few months.
Im also concerned it could be my EVGA GTX 660 GPU as it runs a little on the warmer side and is almost 2 years old, or my relatively new EVGA powersupply?
Some solutions I found but couldnt attempt are :
Reinstall with Windows CD, but i dont have the reinstallation CDs
Restore computer, I never created a restore point on my computer although ive been meaning to.
Reset the computer, the blue screen prompts for installation CDs to do this.
Check HDD in another computer, I dont have another desktop to check it against.
Is there any way I can check myself without having to drop $40+ at a local repair shop?
