Nope. It didnt fix after 8hours of "repairing". Im gonna bring it down to a pc shop and see if they can do a re-format or something that doesnt need me to change hard disk.

yea.... i'll just have to leave my computer on through the night and see what happens.

ok. sort of good news. i just pulled the plug(held the power button down) and then started it up. now it's scanning/repairing with an actual counter, like in %. i'll update you if it's ok, hopefully. EDIT: to hell with it actually working. it restarted then went back to "repairing disk error...

that's the problem. my computer is still "Repairing disk errors" with the dell logo and black background. for the past 2-3 hours.... feeling like pulling the plug on it and hopes it starts up normally. though there's also the chance it's actually fixing the problem OTL

the one via file explorer sends me to the control panel page(the one showing system and windows experience rating). At that page, i do not see any 'tools', except one in the bottom left corner which sends me to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools". And there...

I am having bsods that occur pretty much randomly(as far as i can tell). when using bluescreenviewer, it says the cause is ntoskrnel.exe. i've zipped the required files(from the pinned thread) together, but i may have missed something. let me know if i did. i've already tried refreshing(for...
