Diagnosing Your PC.....forever?

[MrCombatTurtle]

So I'm on Win10 with an Asus motherboard. The other night I turned the mains switch off before the PC, the next morning, my pc kept freezing for 10 seconds at a time.

After attempting to restart, I'm stuck on "diagnosing your pc". I have tried everything suggested in other threads but no avail. I am trying to avoid a system restore but even my recovery disk just comes up with a blank screen. I have left the diagnosing screen for 13+ hours now and it is still diagnosing.

I have to edit some recordings for my Media ALevel in the next week so I really need a fix ASAP.

Thanks in advance x

This isn't the ideal solution but if this is urgent create Win10 recovery media using https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
Then boot from it, copy all your important files off (Shift+F10 opens Command Prompt, then type notepad, go to File->Open in notepad, and then copy files using that), then try running Repair Your Computer from this (after language selection screen).
If this doesn't help I'd reinstall Windows personally, after copying all your important files.
Also try Refresh My PC if you get given the option.

There is a chance you have damaged the HDD. You should only ever turn the PC off by switching the power off if you have no other choice and you believe the PC is not reading or writing to the HDD. Switching a PC off like that while the HDD is in use can cause physical damage to the drive

if you have another drive in the house unplug yours then plug the other drive in and install windows 10 on it. then power down plug your drive in. if your drive is working put the files are damaged you should see the drive in windows. if the drive is having issue it may lock up your pc again. if booting from a new drive lets you move your files or repair the old files.
