Pc not booting

[Minetex]

Hey there,

a friend of mine vacuumed his PC anf now it wont boot. It shows the Windows 10 boot failure and a menu with restart, factory reset, and some more options like returning to the last build, windows backup and stuff, but either works. I'm not very comfortable with factory reset, and I have tried re-checking every conector inside the PC, went through bios, boot order and stuff, but still nothing. He also said that he moved some 'levers', but it was just a few condensators They seem to be Ok tho. Specs are

i5-750

Gigabyte Gtx 660

two 2-kits of 4Gig RAM (so 2x2+2x2)

Intel Desktop Board 01 DH55TC

WD Blue 1Tb HDD

FSP PSU?

Thx for any help

Try taking out the RAM and trying one stick at a time. The "levers" might have been the RAM clips.

[Minetex]

Nope, that's not it. RAM is detected fine, rechecked now. Thanks for advice, I have tried using just one pair at time, it even told me about the memory decrease, but still no effect

Isn't vacuuming a PC generally a bad idea due to static? He may have gotten unlucky. You may be stuck with trying a factory reset to see if that fixes the issue.

I vacoom mine like one time a month and I have no issues He is unlucky. Screw it, factory reset

I cringed whenever my mother would take the vacuum hose to my old PC. She wound up breaking one of my front case fans with it. Thankfully my new rig has good dust filters, so I haven't had the need to open it up since I built it.

[Minetex]

Yep, I only vacuum the filters, and open the case to check. But because I OCD everything, I usually vacuum the interier very carefully

NEVER EVER EVER VACUUM A COMPUTER!!!

It's better to blow than suck. Sucking is a recipe for disaster, under the right circumstances it will kill something.

K, I FCed the PC, chose to delete everything, but now it's stuck on 57% telling me "resetting you computer" with the fancy logo spinning, but percents not moving. Remember that I can't boot up. Any ideas now?

Don't vacuum it? Also, it's possible that when it took a shit, it took the recovery partition with it so it has damaged windows files. If you have an original system disk, or at least a Windows 10 disk, do the reset from that, and make sure all the partitions are deleted.
