Any good soul, please help:
I have a 5 year old desktop PC AMD phenom II x4 955 4 GB with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Since 2 weeks problems have started with booting system: blue screens, restarting booting on its own several times (if eventually Win loaded to the end everything was fine). I did 2 pass memory test from Linux live /usb - no errors. Now it got worse, PC is unusable: after BIOS loads nothing happens - its black screen.
I've suspected boot sector corruption, but when I boot from Live USB Linux Mint 17.3 Unetbootin boot menu appears (usually, though several times it didn't - black screen). After I choose loading linux - it fails - often it hangs up after signaling "acpi pcc probe failed". Although once I've succeeded - linux mounted my HDD and it seemed to work fine - no data loss, expected capacity, though unfortunately I didn't check boot partition. My Live USB works fine on 2 other machines.
Any suggestions?
