- After powering on and beginning to open Windows, screen just goes black, OR...
- Sometimes it gives you the option of starting Windows normally, or running in repair/safe mode. Both of these usually result in failure as well.
While I was over at their house checking it out, somehow the computer did open Windows properly, so I ran scans with McAfee and Malwarebytes (nothing was found). I also ran a scan with hijackthis (log below) but when I tried to restart the computer, it went back to not even booting up. Any ideas? Thanks very much for your time.
