TLDR AT BOTTOM
Okay so prepare for one of the longest reads. I will try and be very thorough and describe everything in detail. Please bare with me as I am also not very knowledgeable in computers but enough to build my own, which I've sort of done. So you could say I know my stuff.. But do describe your answers in better understanding so we can solve this problem quickly and gracefully..
Do keep in mind this is about windows 7 when reading, you will see at one point.
So to start off this computer I have was bought from eBay as a refurbished government PC which has a nice i5 2400, over the weeks I installed more ram and added a 750ti and compatible psu..
Everything was completely fine, I had no problems playing games and the PC in general was nice and smooth, no problems.
I then decided to add a HDD from an older computer I had which serves as extra storage for whatever I need.
Played on the PC for another week and a bit, all good.
Then I remembered.... I had a laptop that had a hdd as well, so I snatched it and stuffed it in my rig, thinking all would go well it came to a conclusion that it was dead. Okay no problem, take it out and move on with life.
Now this is the part where everything goes wrong. Brace yourself.
TL; DR
I AM BASICALLY IN SAFEMODE
I really don't know how to explain this.
AFTER I had taken out the hdd
Windows 7 is basically in safe mode but 5x more strict. It basically has no drivers, yet I am on 1080p res from my gpu.
I can't access most things like services, some programs, volume, anti virus (avg free) , I can't boot from a CD from bios (also usb) it just goes right back to windows, I've tried making a guest account but it just says it can't connect to sens or something, it's style is windows 98, no game can be played,
I am basically in barebones windows 7. It's just there to stare at.
I can't re install as I have stated and no CD has come with it (I did download a copy of windows 7 to try and repair my legitimate one)
I have no cash and will not take it to a guy because if he can fix it so can we.
WHAT I HAVE DONE:
-cleared cmos/bios
-booted in safe mode, it's the same thing. All problems.
-tried booting from CD to repair
-configufed bios settings such as boot order, reset to defaults.
Please help me. Ask and I will answer. Answer and I will praise!
