Hi,
I have been having issues with my "New" computer since I purchase it about ten months ago.
Strange stuff, like:
1. The screen goes black in the middle of the night ... one time, it went black while I was reading a .doc document, but that only occurred once. I have to perform a hard reboot to get it working again.
2. Sometimes, for no immediately detectable reason, my computer will go unresponsive with a spinning circular cursor and stay that way until I perform a hard reboot.
3. I'll have been away from the computer for a while, and when I go to open a program, nothing happens, and the mouse cursor disappears completely. Again, hard reboot.
These are random things. Some days are better than others. There is no detectable pattern to it. Additionally, there are other similar and strange occurrences, but I can't think of them right now.
I have updated all my drivers, and that didn't fix it. So, I performed a System File Check, and the result was:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
I have seen other threads pertaining to this, but they were so advanced in their descriptions of how to fix this, that frankly, I couldn't figure out what the heck they were talking about. I have computer savvy, but there are still many things I don't know about the inner-workings of programs, software, and what-not.
Would someone be so kind as to guide me through the process of fixing the problems my computer found?
BTW, I have Windows 8, but I do not have a disc to pull files from. Also, I will be away for the better part of the weekend, but I will be on my computer for a hour or so each of those days.
Thank you in advance,
T-Man
