Complete windows meltdown

This has been I nightmare. A couple days ago my computer just froze up so I restarted it to find out it won't boot into windows. Eventually the fix windows screen showed up telling me there was something wrong. From there it was unable to diagnose the problem or fix it. I then was able to load windows on to a flash drive to fresh install just for windows to say that my partition format didn't work for installing Windows. At this point I was pissed and didn't want to deal with this anymore so I ordered a SSD to start over. It successfully installed Windows and while I was installing my graphics card driver the screen went black and is now unable to load back into windows again. On a completely brand new SSD. With a fresh install of Windows.

God damnit.

Yeah Windows 10 is pretty trash. The OS is good, but its sooooo unstable and can break with a single update or a bad shutdown/restart. 

 

I know a bunch of people who have all kinds of issues and I personally have gone through so much pain. 

 

Made me get a MacBook for my first laptop because I can't deal with Windows 10 when I need my laptop to just work.

what is your ram config? how much and how many sticks do you have? if you have multiple, try with one stick at a time.

 

ram issues have caused some weird problems with windows in the past for me...
