Hello all,
After coming home and attempting to use my desktop PC I found that it worked perfectly fine... Except when an unexpected power surge (most likely to do with all the snow we're getting). Had turned off my PC I restarted it, thinking it was a meager problem..
But no, it was not, my windows 8.1 had found itself stuck on a boot loop (showing semblances of the new BSOD) I tried using my copy of windows 7 so I could still be productive while I found a solution. But when the once and in a while chkdsk notice came up, I let it proceed, thinking that my disk will be able to be scanned to see whether or not that was a problem. Unfortunately it is saying something along the lines of a new package/software has conflicted with it trying to start up the chkdsk process. (I shall update this post with the exact details).
As my windows 7 hard disk was plugged into my PC at the time of the power surge, does that mean that it has been corrupted too? If so that is unfortunate news, as most of my documents are stored on that disk.
Any help would be welcome, and now I'm forced to use my phone to try to type a paper...
