Hey, I had this problem with my computer lately which it doesn't want to work. (I'm horrible with tech)
Information about the pc:
Predator G3610
Windows 7
Intel core i3 2120
6GB DDR3
1 TB memory
It began out of nowhere. No warning, nothing. It starts up and with a struggling sound from a fan inside and as the Acer icon shows up it glitches and flashes. I get to the menu to either pick start windows repair or start the pc normally, if I pick windows repair the furthest i get is the computer trying to diagnose itself where it gets stuck and just keeps going
>let it scan
Tried letting it take its own pace and for a whole day nothing came out of it
Or I pick start normally option, here the windows symbol doesn't show up nothing moves and after a few minutes it goes to "windows reads files" with a grey loading bar underneath it. Then it moves onto a screen with describes status 0xc00000e9 and a I/O error (if I remember right)
I know I should look insider the pc itself but I have no clue what to do inside it.
If you may help me?
Pic related the screen I'm stuck at

1st step: replace SATA cable
2nd step: using a $2 Xbox 360 disk from Gamestop and a 4GB or better USB key, create a Windows 10 installer using the "windows 10 media creation tool" (google it) and a working PC, then connect only the Xbox disk (remove it from the caddy it comes in) and try installing Windows on it (select "I don't have a product key" during install).
If Windows 10 works fine, your disk is broken and you need to get a new disk. If it doesn't, you're looking at either memory, motherboard, PSU or CPU.

Oh, it's a laptop.
Fuck that, straight to step 2.
If a clean Windows doesn't work, then test with a known-good SoDIMM, known-good SATA ribbon (if it has one), and known-good processor before replacing the motherboard.

For all the shit advise you gave him you should've at least looked up his hardware and realized that it's a shitty prebuilt desktop computer. Please stop roleplaying faggot.

You're right, should have googled it. Fair cop.
HOWEVER, >>343526 is exactly the correct thing to do if your desktop is doing that, and if you disagree, you're going to have to back your opinion up with a little more than just "no u".
