What's wrong with my computer brehs? :sadcam:

[Canada Goose]

It was running fine since Wednesday afternoon, but I was watching a stream and stepped away from my computer for a extended period of time, and when I came back, the stream was dead, I exited out of full screen all the icons was over sized and messed up had to pull the plug out and restart the computer.....


Since then my PC has....

Running slower than usual
Doesn't wake up from sleep mode
Internet pages sometimes don't load in both Firefox & Chrome even though my internet connection is fine, I have to reload pages MUITLPLE times just for them to work

Picture folder doesn't work sometimes

My desktop background was lost and replaced with a black screen, that's half blank and other half with dots

Doesn't shut down sometimes, I have to pull the plug out just for the PC to shut down.

Firefox doesn't open giving some error message, then sometimes it opens up fine.

Doesn't always boot up correctly, just a black screen


I'm on Windows 10. What's wrong with my PC brehs, is it a virus? Windows 10 glitch? The hardware on my PC is failing? (It is pretty old, I had it since 07 or 08)

Might be your gaphics card

Sounds like you caught an STD

Check your HDD

 

[GreenGrass]

back up your files and then reformat the computer to Windows 7.

I'd run some hardware diagnostics. Sounds like maybe your hard drive, RAM, or graphics card might be failing.

Brehs, I was trying to load a video on Firefox which caused the screen to go black, had to restart, after I logged in my desktop background was back and my PC seems to be working normally again


For now at least

I wanted to buy a gaming PC to replace the current one I have, but budget restraints

If I ever get my money right I probably will buy a Alienware Desktop, when my computer isn't acting up like it was these past couple of days, it does a great job serving its purpose, I usually stream videos, music and post on the Coli without issue.
