Computer crashed and nothing seems to work
My Hard Disk Drive is very slowHow do I prevent my bluetooth headphones from waking my computer from standby?Windows 8.1 installationWindows 8.1 shut down after I plugged my S5 into a usb hub now mouse and wifi won't workWindows 10 Technical Preview worst case scenarioBooting from USB with UEFI bios to install Windows 8.1Minidumps not generated after a bluescreen in Win8.1Windows 8.1 fresh install on a UEFI laptop?PC boot loop bug, how to enter bios if none of the 'F' keys work?Rufus damaged my usb and windows can't detect it
So my desktop is slightly older, I had purchased it 3 or 4 years ago off of someone getting rid of their gaming pc. I have experienced very few problems with it over the years but woke up today to constant bsod's that are telling me to repair my pc.
The pc was running 8.1, so to start, I downloaded the iso from the Microsoft site (on my laptop) and created a bootable usb using cmd. When trying too boot from usb (with bios configured properly and also attempting to directly select it) it almost seems to be ignored and continues on to loading windows and then I get a bsod immediately after the windows logo.
I noticed around this point that I was only seeing 4gb of ram (I have 8gb installed [2x4gb]). As I have 6 slots, I started swapping the ram around and found one slot seemed to be toast.
Thinking I may have messed up the usb, I downloaded rufus as well as the Windows usb/DVD download tool. Both of those usb's lead to the same result.
I tried burning multiple discs and they all show as "no medium" when I boot to them.
My latest attempts have been to attempt to run ubuntu, both 18.04.2 and 10.04. While I can get to the main boot screen, upon selecting to run without install, it either just restarts my pc or white screens (respectively).
I should also add that I have tested all the usbs on my laptop to ensure they did work prior to using with my desktop. I even went as far as to try a win7 ultimate usb I had laying around. I was able to choose between 32 and 64 bit, it loaded and then in a black and white screen, showed the same error as the bsod.
I have poured over many forum posts and have tried many suggestions but I am feeling completely stuck and decided maybe making my own post may help.
Any advice would be appreciated.
