Hello! As of writing this, I currently have two broken computers, both of which I have been unable to fix. One is a laptop, the other is a tower. Any help in fixing either of these would be much appreciated!
The Laptop: My laptop is still usable, but runs extremely slow, no matter what I'm trying to launch. I haven't been able to fix it, but I have two suspects in hand. To begin with, when this started, I had just downloaded a game of of Steam. I was looking for cheaper games, and settled on Stronghold HD. Something about this file might have effected my computer, but I have been unable to uninstall it due to how absolutely slow the computer is running. The second suspect isn't one item in particular, but rather the fact that my Disk Usage is always capped at 100%. I don't know how to lower this, nor have I found a guide that has helped.
The Tower: This ones been gone for a few months, but I've kept in a safe place so everything should still be okay. I made a thread on it before, yet didn't get an answer that helped. The issue I'm having with the tower is that whenever I boot it up, I get an error message. I don't remember exactly what it says, but it mentions a software or hardware update might have been the cause. I've tried to launch it both normally, and in repair mode, but neither work. Normal bootup sends me right back to the error message, and repair mode just loads indefinitely.Also, I have changed the boot order and disabled some other aspects, can't quite remember what I also have a few suspects for this one. First off, I had recently installed iTunes to try and get some music from my old account. That shouldn't be the issue, but the crash happened the next time I booted my computer sooooo. Secondly, I had tried to install a new GPU, however my PSU was unable to provide for it. This might be the "hardware update" the error message was talking about. Lastly, I had plugged in an old iPod to charge. No idea how this would effect the computer, but it might have played a part.
Anyways, that's all the information I have outside of specs. Any help would be greatly appreciated seeing as I'm stuck using a friend's computer to even make this thread. If you have any question feel free to ask them in the chat and I'll attempt to get back to you ASAP! Thanks again!
