I guess this would have gone better in this forum... I don't mean to double post, but wherever it doesn't belong I hope it gets deleted...


It's been a long while since I've been here because up until this point, I haven't had any new issues with my brand new computer (got it in November, so it's still pretty new.) However, two days ago, in the middle of a mix on winamp, my computer fizzles out, resets, then goes to the Loading Operating System... screen then it says Disk boot failure, insert disk to continue, yet if I turn the PSU off and back on, I can log back into windows and stay on windows for a few minutes at a time. On top of this, Malwarebytes doesn't even open and says I can't update it and whenever my computer resets, it doesn't recognize my HDD so I can't wipe or fix the HDD even though it spins up for a few minutes... could this be caused by overheating?

Specs:
8 GB Kingston DDR3 Hyper X RAM
AMD 3650 APU
Gigabyte A75M-UD2H mobo
650 watt PSU
Seagate Barracuda 750 GB SATA 3.0 HDD

Lets give it a try. You will need a USB Flash drive.

For x32 (x86) bit systems download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to a flash drive.
For x64 bit systems download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 and save it to a flash drive.

Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.

Enter System Recovery Options.

To enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:

• Restart the computer.
• As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until Advanced Boot Options appears.
• Click on Repair your computer menu item.
• Select US as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.
• Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
• Select your user account and click Next.

On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options:

Startup Repair
System Restore
Windows Complete PC Restore
Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
Command Prompt

• Select Command Prompt
• In the command window type in notepad and press Enter.
• The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.
• Select "Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
• In the command window type e:\frst.exe (for x64 bit version type e:\frst64) and press Enter
  Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
• The tool will start to run.
• When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
