Laptop becoming unresponsive, audio loop, requires hard restart to fix
Hi all, I need help with a very serious issue. My laptop, for the past couple months, has been, as stated above, experiencing lag, becoming audioloop-unresponsive, and requiring a hard switch restart every time. Sometimes the computer will do this even in the startup, and the operating system will fail to load. Here is a list of the relevant information, and what I've already tried to correct the issue.
Laptop: ASUS VivoBook X540SA-BPD0602V with: 500GB SATA HDD, 4GB installed RAM, Intel Pentium processor, 128MB VRAM, integrated GPU.
OS: Windows 10 Home Insider Preview Build 16251.1000
Attempts to fix:
Chkdsk FAILED
SFC scan FAILED
Windows Memory Diagnostic FAILED
BIOS configuration modification FAILED
PC Reset (keep files) FAILED
PC Reset (remove files, no TPM reset) FAILED
PC Reset (remove files and reset TPM) FAILED
Disk defragmentation FAILED
Debug FAILED
Remove paging file restrictions FAILED
File System Repair FAILED
System Restore FAILED
System Disc Image Repair FAILED
New Installation FAILED
Install previous build FAILED
Driver updates FAILED
Temp files cleared FAILED
At this point, I have no idea what to do. If there was any way to research how to fix it, it's so unusable, I can't even access the internet. In fact, I'm posting this from my mobile phone because I have no other choice. And no, I can't flash the BIOS. These problems started hitting en masse after I received BSOD CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED on Build 16215.
I really need help, but I'm also convinced it's a piece of trash and its time to get an upgrade. Advice is greatly needed and appreciated.
