VERY IMPORTANT!! COMPUTER PROBLEM!!?

[isashach]

Ah Windows.... you really should have gotten a Mac if you're in school or in college!
The thing is, Windows has a tendency to screw itself up, requiring a fresh re-installation every couple of months, or at most, years. You may have done absolutely nothing harmful, but it just clogs up with useless things which significantly slow it down and cause it to malfunction like yours does.

Re-installing Windows is super easy, and it genuinely shocks me how many people throw their computer away because they think that it's genuinely broken - virtually all 'slow' computers can be fixed (and yours is by no means slow) with a re-install. All you have to do is backup all your important data to an external hard drive, and set up a USB install stick. It all takes no more than an hour, and there are hundreds, if not thousands of very clear guides about how to do it online.
