Hello!
My cousin contacted my today telling he has a problem with his pc.
He told me that he woke his pc out sleepmode this morning but heard a cracking true his speakers.
an that his screen stayyed black.
He restarted his pc he logged in without any porblem but after that his taskbar loaded but that was it. He cant use his task bar. He can move his mouse tho but its a "windows loading circle".
He lives far away from me so i let hem test some basic stuff. I let him go into safe mode but the problem was still there.
I have some ideas what the problem could be, but im not sure.
Someone with suggestions?

Thanks for the help!
 

Thanks for the suggestion, i will ask him this if nothing else works.
