I recently got the windows 7 black screen of death upon boot and have tried everything I can to get past it to no avail. I was able to do a system scan and on my hard drive scan I was stuck between 31-32% for about 20 minutes leading me to think I have some sort of virus that crashed the system. I was planning on upgrading to windows 10 soon anyways; my question is, what would be the easiest way to do this upgrade at this point? I'm okay with just wiping the hard drives and starting fresh.

System specs:
Amd Fx-6300 cpu
Asus Gtx 660 gpu
Asus 990-Fx motherboard
Samsung black series ssd 128gb
Seagate hdd 1tb
Xfx xtr 650 power supply
G skill ripjaws ddr3 8gb ram
Windows 7 64 bit
