hello /g/ there is no stupid questions thread so I'm making a thread.
my fucking pc died randomly and goes into a "preparing automatic repair" loop or a black screen telling me to boot off a disk. I tried restoring it but I get pic related.
I have a lot of files i don't want to lose but I'm guessing they are already gone.
What the fuck do I do
Install gentoo

Honestly, probably the shitty drive that came with it is dying. Boot Linux from a live disk, copy your data to a flash drive and buy a new hard drive. You can buy a copy of windows or whatever, but honestly I would see what you had a pirate an installer and use the key you have on the case to install windows.

I found a universal key but now it's saying I don't have the drivers to install.
It is pirated, I bought the pc from a co worker a while ago and it's started blue screening a few weeks ago
