I installed a 500 GB SSD in my computer yesterday , Man is it fast ! Easy too!
Hi,
I have an Asus laptop running Windows 10 (initially win 8 ) and for a while I've been having hard drive related issues (drive being at 100% usage most of the time, had trouble booting up and I've already had to go through windows' automatic repairs a couple of times).
Today my laptop just won't boot. I keep getting stuck on the "attempting repairs" or "repairing drive C:" screens. Left it on all night and it's still at 0%. If I ignore the repair I get a BSOD giving me a "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED" error. I can access the BIOS but I've had no luck accessing any other menu to boot into safe mode or try a restore point or anything else.
Honestly I've made peace with the fact that my HDD is dead and I need to change it but I'd like to have other people's opinion before I spend money. I've also never changed one so I'm not completely clear on how to proceed. I don't have a windows install disk or anything either so I'm just a bit lost.
Thanks for your help
