I am having an issue. For some reason after I installed the beta of a game (infinite crisis) my computer decided to shut down about 2-3 hours after it finished install. I then try to get back on (after waiting for about 20-30 minutes for bios to boot up) the desktop and realize that once I get to the windows 8 start menu, use the desktop "app", then try to open an application my explorer.exe (it seems) does not seem to work anymore.
After several attempts of getting on and trying to open up task manager, I was able to end explorer.exe then reopen it. Did not work.
Then I tried to get onto the boot menu.. would not work, pressed all the F buttons (forgot which one I needed for my computer/startup) and tried this esp + alt thing someone told me could work, which it didn't. So now I am stuck with looking on tom's hardware, where I could not find the answer in a forum post and decided to start on here.
~~If anyone knows how to wipe my hard drive ( manually somehow) without wiping windows 8, that'd be great help!
