My potato crashed, help please! ;-;

[Marcello_1]

So I have this trashy ass potato that I got like 3 years ago when I was just getting into PC and stuff, so don't ask me the specs, I don't know... (it's second hand).

Basically I had to move my PC around, and I had to unplug everything and remove the graphics card, coz of complications. (The case is too small, so everything I want to unplug my HDMI cable, I need to remove my gpu). After the i literally moved the PC from beneath my desk, unto.. you guessed it, the desk, next to my TV (I have it because I can't afford a monitor). Then I place everything back where it was, and all that, made sure all was alright.

Then I switched on my pc, it booted, loading the WIndows 7 animation (you know, where it says "Starting Windows"), and then it froze and rebooted, but when it froze, I noticed that... it flashed... THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. That's literally all it does now, it just freezes, flashes the blue screen of death, reboots and then rinse and repeat, I managed to get the control prompt up, but besides that i can't even go into the login screen. I just gotta choose the "Repair you computer" boot option, coz... welp that's the only one that works.

All help would be appreciated, please ;-;

I would do a repair installation like THIS if you have media. If not, you are pretty much out of luck. Hard to provide much more since you cannot even figure out what you have.

I would hazard a guess that your HDD was getting pretty close to failing and the thumping and thudding associated with opening it and moving it around finished the job.

I suppose, one of my hard drives is only a couple o' months old, whereas the other one is about a year (or more) old. and the old one is the one with my OS on it...

If you suspect that a HDD failed, run WD diagnostics or SeaTools on it. You usually don't get a BSOD from a failed OS drive, just a blinking cursor and a notice that it cannot find a boot drive.

no, that's not what happened, it just freezes then reboots, no explanation of what happened, simply says "Failed to boot" or something like that
