How Can I Get My Pc to work?

[julianmurray17]

My pc stopped working yesterday, I got the blue screen of death, my pc wouldn't boot past the windows screen, at first the auto repair was trying to fix itself for 4 hours then nothing changed. So i looked on microsoft website for solutions for hours but nothing worked,I accidentally delted my oem trying to re install windows on my pc, so I want to know should I buy another copy of windows to get oem or what else can I do?

Do not buy another copy of Windows, if you have to, just use it unlicenced (you really don't lose much), but if you signed in with a Microsoft account, chances are Windows will automatically reactivate anyway.

First you need to know what is wrong. Somewhere is faulty hardware, that need check it, and from where blue screens comes.
Download memtest for ram, crystal disk info for hdd, hwmonitor for overall system status/health. Get mobo, psu, etc. other parts from friend, or somebody to check what is wrong.

I still have access to my microsoft account, but I just can't get my pc to install windows right now cuz I don't have an OS so I need to figure out how to get it back, so what should I do? Thanks for your response.

Check hdd, if it's not dead, there is high posibility to retrieve windows.

hmmmm, I can't get past the reboot or troubleshoot or shut down screen. It worked fine yesterday but literally when I went to power it on at 5 pm, it started having this issue

Weird, do you have a spare PC or laptop and USB drive? Windows Media Creation Tool will create a recovery USB for you to restore the OS if there are no serious hardware issues. That said, I would check for HW problems first, as indicated by others. Does everything look normal in the BIOS (RAM amount, storage amount and SMART test, etc.)?

from another pc use an 8g usb stick use the windows media creation tool. if you have windows 7/8 it ask for your oem code there should be a label on the pc or on your windows disk. if you upgraded to 10 or installed 10 and had a code but lost it. windows now keeps a digital info. all you need on installing windows 10 is click skip on the install screen. if your code is good windows 10 will pull it back in on first log in.

You can use HDDSentinel to check your HDD health.
If you have more sticks of ram (example-4x1GB) try booting with only one stick of ram (1gb in this case) see if anything changes.
Try removing/replacing part by part to narrow down the issue to only few components.
If nothing helps-i would recomend reinstalling windows. (clean install)
