WHAT happened?
At church this morning, the guy explained that he had personally designed his three year old Windows 7 tower as a gaming computer. A computer shop had them ordered the parts and assembled it, and it worked fine. About a week ago, he upgraded to Windows 10, and now he can't get back in. Meanwhile, his wife was complaining that he was ignoring her and their new baby (The kid is adorable, by the way) because he's always playing games. Since his rig is attached to their big-screen TV, she can't watch her shows. I told him that God had smote his computer so that he would spend more time with his wife and son.
In case I'm wrong: sometimes he gets nothing, while other times he can almost make it to the desktop. He managed to run a diagnostic that told him that his BIOS was corrupted. I warned him that his hard drive might be failing and advised him to hold down the Shift key while starting to try to get into the diagnostic screens. I also suggested that he restart and repeatedly press the F8 key (Yes it DOES so work on some computers with 10) and try to get in with Safe Mode.
I advised him to type Windows 10 Forums into a search engine (He has a working laptop) and post a detailed account of his problem. I also advised him to spend more time with his family.
