Hello everyone!
So, I have encountered a rather odd error as of late. Last Friday I finally completed one of my most sought after goals: building my first gaming PC! Everything was fine at first (it was running Skyrim like a champ!), but then on Monday it couldn't get past start-up.
I would try to go into Start-Up repair, but that would power down as soon as it was done loading Windows files. I then got my install disk (System Builder), threw it in, and made sure the tower was wired to my router.
After that Start-Up repair did it's thing and everything was going swell. Afterwards I checked for updates (I thought that may have been the problem) and installed all the important ones I saw, restarted, then watched some Youtube videos for a bit.
After that things went TERRIBLE! I took my PC to a friends house and it simply would not stay powered on. I would get to the login screen, begin booting up steam, then BAM! Nothing. Sometimes it would even let me start Skyrim and get a few minutes in before offing itself.
My friend and I booted it into Safe Mode, which worked, and copied over my game info before completely reinstalling Windows. After install all the updates, it worked great again! I went back to my place and played Fallout till 2 in the morning.
So I woke up, ready to get some more gaming in, when it all starts happening again. It won't get past Start-Up and Start-Up Repair won't get past loading files.
I am so, so peeved right now. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
