Dead PC

Last night I got a pop-up saying that my hard drive couldn’t be defragmented, because Windows had scheduled a check of the disc.

Today, my computer won’t even boot into Windows – not even safe mode. I get a blue screen of death for half-a-millisecond, and then the computer reboots itself. Try as I might, I just can’t get the thing working again, and I’ve been trying for 7 hours now. Looks like a format/reinstall is in order, once I’ve managed to salvage my data.

Kinda glad I bought my Mac mini now!
