Out of sheer stupidity and ignorance, I managed to screw up my PC. No matter what I do, I can’t boot it. I hope I can get into Windows with my files intact because I am quite stressed right now. specs: Core I7-8700 GTX-1080 16 Gigs of RAM 500 GB Samsung SSD (which has the OS) And a DVD drive...

How would I use process explorer to get you the info that you need?

First command returned - xperf: error: NT Kernel Logger: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0xb7). I also checked and I can't find a folder named Temp, so the second command says - xperf: error: Merge ETL: The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3). I installed Windows...

I find it strange that all of a sudden I need more RAM.

Sorry for late response but due to personal reasons, I wasn't able to run Latencymon up until now. (I hope you'll respond) Results below: _ CONCLUSION _ Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing...

I reinstalled Windows and installed everything (including optional stuff) from Windows Update and it still hasn't been fixed. Device Manager also doesn't show any Yellow Triangles. How troublesome...

What is the solution? Should I format the SSD from windows 10 iso and reinstall Windows from there?? Actually, the laptop drivers site had multiple drivers for each category.

Coming back to this. I have disabled the the internet adapters that aren't used, but it still appears in task manager.

I ran the test on latencymon and it said that my system has trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. The test ran for 3 hours and 8 minutes. Though, I don't really understand much of anything here. Here is what I got. Are reported ISRs and DPCs something I should be concerned about...

I have a Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 that started having issues with Windows having corrupted drivers, preventing it from even booting (before this happened, there wasn't any system interrupts). Inside the laptop was an M.2 NVME SSD, and I ordered a ADATA SU760 SATA SSD from Amazon to replace the NVME...

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54-5812. There are a few videos that show how to fix it, which leads me to believe that this is a more common issue than I thought. I took out the M.2 and tried to format it on my PC which supports it, but then I get a black screen with the code "A0" on the MB temp counter...

Another update. When booting the Windows 10 ISO, I get Windows error DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG. But, booting regularly (The laptop has an M.2 SSD) shows that there isn't a bootable device. So is the USB I used, the issue? Or should I buy a 2.5 SSD and attempt to install Windows on that?

Okay, a little update. The laptop keeps bootlooping when I try to boot from the usb that contains the ISO for minutes on end. I’m guessing there isn’t any other option huh.

I'm not good with laptops and don't even have the screwdrivers and tools needed to open it. Is it possible run a Windows 10 ISO through USB and reinstall windows while keeping all the files?

I think the blue screen occurred after the laptop screen was slammed to it’s closing position. After restarting it - no bootable device screen appears. The laptop was functioning completely fine before this had happened. I also went through BIOS and I’m pretty sure it recognizes the hard drive...
