I entered Windows recovery mode and chose load from local to try and reload Windows but it's now stuck on a black screen with the five spinning White circles from Windows. Every time I try and turn the computer off and on a few times to get back into recovery mode it won't it will just go back to the Loading windows screen.

I just bought this PC not long ago a few years but the person I bought it from is a programmer for Amazon

#

How do you know it's a dying Drive

#

Is it just Windows corrupted

warped garnet
#

bc thats a very common thing a dying drive does

#

iv had it happen quite often with older drives

neat turret
#

Yeah but how old are we talking

#

This computer is only like 5 years old maybe six

warped garnet
#

thats old enough for a drive to die

#

a drive can die brand new

#

all a luck of the draw

#

some will last a very long time

#

decent ones are not expensive

#

I'll send you a picture one sec

#

If it's not the drive what else could it be that I could fix

warped garnet
#

its 100% the drive

#

and there is no fixing it sadly

#

There's no other reason Windows would do this

warped garnet
#

its not windows

Windows boot loop, where the computer repeatedly restarts without fully loading the operating system, can be caused by a variety of factors, including corrupted system files, incompatible hardware, malware, or issues with the boot manager. Sometimes, a failed Windows update or changes to system firmware settings can also trigger a boot loop.

Operating system corruption honestly

#

Is what I think

#

Do you know how to upload a new OS

warped garnet
#

yes but there are videos on how to do it

#

when you do it download a drive health software

neat turret
#

What's a good download for that?
