windows 10 black screen with cursor

[Seb1337]

so here is the thing

I used my computer today just to play some League of Legends matches and turned it off nothing else. Suddenly something has come up and I have to use the pc but here is the thing. Upon turning it on a "preparing to repair drive C:/" appears. After it finished the pc just got into this black screen with mouse cursor "state". I dont know what to do.. here are some things I have tried

Using safe mode(it boots into safe mode but same thing happens btw I had to turn off pc by the power button to get it to safe mode)

using windows+p menu which came up but nothing changed(also tried with a 2nd monitor)

using a installation media to get to the repair windows thing but nothing worked there (startup system restore did nothing) it says that there was an error while attempting to fix so here I am.. I cant really reinstall windows as I have only one partition and it is full of important stuff which cant let go obviously..

by the way  a thing I noticed is that the hdd is being used quite at its full potential while om the black screen

and where should I do that if thats the only pc I have and the screen is black

Well, you'll either have to buy or borrow someone else's computer, and possibly a USB>SATA cable/caddy.

Well I have a last resort

I have a laptop and a pc and its been about the pc

 

[userzero]

Aha. So, you do have something to use

 

Have you got an adapter or caddy to mount the PC drive in and connect it to the laptop to run said test?

 

If not, you could make a bootable PE disc on a USB stick and boot to that on the PC, and run a hard drive test within that. 

 

Always options.
