I have an odd bug with my laptop. I got it in Feb and installed windows 8. I have a lot of development software such as java sdk, node js and visual studio, and after a few days when I was still installing programs I had a glitch were trying to search on the start screen ment the whole system locked up. It got worse so I reinstalled windows. It seemed to fix it at first but it happened again.
I installed the software in a different order the third time and it was fine until last week. The start screen froze again. I used sfc /scannow and it said it found files but couldn't fix them. I decided to just upgrade to Windows 10 and then to a clean install.
After the upgrade windows 10 worked for about 30mins before I couldn't open settings and the menu search froze.
I did a clean install. I them installed Google Chrome, Dropbox, vs2015, github, photoshop cc, steam, Battle.net and wow. It was fine for a few days but when I tried to launch wow it just opened then minimised itself (like the settings menu had before). I realised I had installed the nvidia drivers but not run the geforce experience before so that updated when I opened it. It didn't fix it though.
Out of interest I ran sfc scan again and it said it found corrupted files again but had fixed them. Surely a new install of win 10 should not have corrupted files? I restarted the computer and now every time I turn it on it sets the resolution to minimum. I can manually change it to HD and Wow now runs but looks a little fuzzy.
I am letting it do another restore but I am so paranoid now. Any ideas. Hardware or software??
