I have a 2 year old computer I built and this morning it started acting up, where it would crash randomly (around 2 minutes to an hour after startup.)
I don't know much about computers so I decided to look stuff up and see if I could find any issues that needed solving. First I noticed my disk was at 100% constantly, so I disabled windows search (or whatever it's called) and turned my computer to performance mode in power settings, noticed it lowered hard drive usage, thought I was triumphant, and crashed shortly after. After that I checked and saw nothing wrong with the physical hardware, and it's all rather new (the PSU is a nice Corsair one I got not even a year ago) I then tried to update windows, where I noticed there was a big Windows update to install as of today, tried installing it twice to no avail because my computer shut down before it was installed.
Here's my first mistake. I got frustrated and decided I'll just wipe the whole thing and see if that helps. Well, during the windows wipe, the computer crashed. Now my PC will turn on but not boot or send signal to either of my two monitors. I tried getting a windows boot USB but it seems to not work either. I'm not sure what to do since I can't interact with the PC internally in any way, and some help would be greatly appreciated.
