Help - Multiple PC Issues
First post on this forum, and not great technically - hope I can give enough information to get some help.
i have a custom built pc which is about 5 years old.
Upgraded recently to Windows 10 (which may or may not be relevant). Had increasing issues since which I seemed to get around by turning off & on, but as of today my PC is mostly unusable.
Cannot get onto the Internet which is, I think, network adaptor related - the wifi symbol in the task bar is replaced by a box with a red 'x'.
Cannot access device manager to resolve this. (This was an intermittent issue over the last 2 weeks which I was resolving by disabling/enabling the network adaptor).
Cannot access task manager.
Can access Network & Sharing Centre, but cannot access Change Adaptor Settings.
Can access some programmes - iTunes, Mcafee (ran a full scan which showed no issues).
2 days ago, on start up, Internet not connecting, everything very slow, and one of the fans in the box very loud.
had the box open & cleaned everything of dust - quite a lot. Seemed fine that day but not after.
Not sure what to do to be honest, hence coming on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
