My PC crashed two days ago, been googling and trying everything

Boot a live Linux distro.. Check what works and what doesn't.

>>60342567
Why the fuck would you wait for such a long time? Just reinstall windows. It takes 7 minutes.

>>60342591
Can you tell me how or link me to something that can tell me how?

>>60342642
I don't have a USB available

>>60342645
Linux Mint from here: (go with Cinnamon if unsure)
https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php

Rufus: (get the portable on to make a bootable USB drive)
https://rufus.akeo.ie/

8GB RAM DDR3L SDRAM is the drive. What drive can I upgrade to that will still support my PC?

>>60342781
dude....thats your RAM
If your drive crashed, go and buy a new ssd. Samsung for example.
Then reinstall windows on this SSD.
Problem solved.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
