Not sure if this is specifically a win 10 question.
I was using a toshiba c55-a laptop. I3 3rd gen iirc, and its blue screening on me. I cant get it to start in safe mode from the recovery. It is win 10, was originally 8. Got it free second hand. It was working when i got it, and i used about a year or more, mostly for cura. I did do the free win 10, but that was before it was mine.
The bios shows the processor, the ram, and the hdd. Still no boot. I threw a new ssd in it, and tried to install new win 10 from the usb - no go.
So i ordered parts and assembled ryzen 5 desk to replace the toshiba. But honestly it bothers me that the toshiba is dead.
So whats the next move in a case like that? Is there some sort of diagnostic software i can buy for another pc and get the run down on the toshiba? Is there a beginners book that i could get to guide me through the trouble shoot? I cant seem to get anywhere in the blue recovery suite of the machine.
I dont want to just take a shot in the dark and get a new mobo from ebay - id like to atleast have a novice idea of what im doing, or if its even worth messing with.
Any educated thoughts?
Thanks
Jon
