Rather than type it all out so it makes no sense, I just posted a pic of what I saw. On the internet, it looks like either no one knows what it means, or that it could mean about 10,000 different things went wrong.

The computer is 5 years old, should I just say **** it and quick fix it by getting a new computer?

Or does anyone have any suggestions?
