Ive had this custom built PC for around 4 months and recently a problem has occurred with it. Today I logged into my windows 10 account to find the OS reacting really slow which was a red flag for me, furthermore the computer seemed to had forcefully restored the state of the computer to a previous point as my chrome had popped up with tabs I had open a few days ago and my internet history from the last 2 days was missing. After resetting the PC I started to get a BSOD where the error message was "Phase 1 initialization failed" and the computer went into a repair loop. At the current time I tried to use the troubleshoot tools to "Reset this PC" function but it failed completely and no matter which one I choose Windows 10 will not reset it saying "There was a problem while resetting your PC". I am now burning a copy of Windows 7 onto a USB to see if I wipe the HDD and start again but I'm worried the actual HDD is dead or failing.
