Greetings everyone. I've been looking around all the internet for a solution to this but the more I keep searching the more I'm starting to think my pc might be actually damaged.
I have a dell laptop, i5 processor 8gb ram 2.6GHz (win10) for two years now, until recently it started failing on me, being super slow and some files even got corrupted. I probably installed a virus, even tho I only know this happened after I installed Paladins via steam. Anyways,
The next time I've booted i got stuck on automatic repair loop which i got out of by removing some starforce protection drivers that were corrupted (i checked if they have anything to do with windows but it seemed like they didn't) and I managed to work on my pc again.
After that my pc started acting really slow. freezing when I'm playing or taking too much time to load apps. The next time I tried to boot windows wouldn't even start. So I got win10 on a usb flash drive and did a clean install. The PC is really clean but it's insanely slow. It managed to get some updates for win10 and i had to restart to complete updates.
It takes far too much time to boot up (I'm talking like 10 or more minutes) windows and programs aren't responsive like they should be. It also seems I'm having blue screens of death right now.
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong here or more importantly, is there a way to get my laptop back in shape, or should I get a whole new setup?
I'm seriously frustrated, I'll appreciate any of your help.
