Hello ladies and gentlemen.
Need you help!
about 1 or 2 months ago I've downloaded windows 10 iso from a torrent [found somewhere on google]- tried to install but it failed- and than- my PC stopped booting. it's stucked on bios splash screen.
I've tried everything to take the cmos out for 10 minutes, reset everything- nothing helped.
when I unplugged my SSD it booted......soo.. I entered Linux live usb and somehow found strange folders name in Russian language on my ssd so deleted them and from then its booting fine but many times like 50% of the times it still stucks until I press the reboot physical button and than its booting fine again....
what is your opinion about it? what it can be?

please help!


edit:
no no guys, too late..
I already tried to install windows and Linux a couple of times.
I think there's another virus in the entire root of the SSD, look, before I removed those strange Russian-named folders I formatted the SSD and the last there.... got me?
I need a way or a tool to check my SSD out of OS.. something like LIVE USB or something..
please!!!!!!!

Microsoft officially provides the ISO for Windows 10 direct from their website. All you have to do is download the Windows Media Creation tool and chose to either update your pc or create a bootable USB stick.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

Do you have a valid key for Windows 10?

The problem is twofold:

1. Your SSD has a virus. There are several AV solutions that you can boot from DVD or USB
2. That Win ISO you downloaded is not valid and completely hosed. Delete it.

But....booting from a valid Windows 10 ISO, you can delete ALL partitions on that drive.
Install and activate with a valid license that you have purchased.

There is a way that you can wipe a drive using an install USB. When the computer boots from the USB stick just click repair my computer and then click command prompt . use the diskpart command then type list disk and then type select disc followed by the number of the disk. you will be able to tell which disk to wipe based on the capacity of the d you will be able to tell which disk to wipe based on the capacity of the disk. your issue that you can't reinstall windows probably resides from The fact that the disco already has a data on it from a previous Windows operating system

And NEVER use tourents that you find on the internet. Not only is that illegal, But the fact that you got it in some obscure website probably was what caused your issue in the first place.

I believe Microsoft still has the media creation tool. Try using that. Just Google search Windows media creation tool. Install it onto a USB stick. Uppon install It will ask you for an activation key code but you can skip that step and purchase one later.

actually i as i told you...i can install windows successfully and instal linux just fine.. again- the problem is when i rebooting the machine [START->SHUTDOWN -> REBOOT or cmd> shutdown -r or any other option] it may boot normally and may not [just stuck].... the "image creation tool" doesnt make a sense - it doesnt even matter because that not my problem.

Click to expand...

You are installing a corrupted Windows install.
That is the only issue here.

And we cannot and will not help you fix that, other than what has already been suggested.
