Chkdsk loop, attempt to repair, can't boot

Hello, first some stats:

Computer: Samsung Laptops series 5, NP (can't get exact info rn) Security software: Eset Smart Security, cleaned every month with Mbam, every other week with CCleaner

Yesterday I planned to log in to one of MMORPG I'm playing, so decided to restart my computer to clear RAM and unnecessary processes leftover after my regular work.

Attempted reboot from start menu, restart. It took over 20 minutes of sitting on black screen, then rebooted again and hit stuck on "Repairing disk, Volume (hex identifier) 100%"

Hour later it started storming, so ended up turning off computer and going to sleep.

Today attempted to get into safe mode, with no luck. It either tries to run chkdsk and gets stuck on the second volume (while "SystemPartition goes through 100%"), or on "Diagnosing your PC", or "Preparing Automatic Repair".

After over an hour of sitting on chkdsk, it got stuck on black screen and everything but fan stopped working. After reboot to try to get into Safe Mode again it started booting system, then threw BSOD with "Bad System Config" as explanation,then rebooted itself back into Diagnosing Loop.

Sometimes on boot can hear a static pop, possibly from the speakers, although never experienced it before on this laptop.

Suspected PSU, so ran from battery but no luck.

Additionally, I ran Smart scan and lifediag on drive in last few days (was checking external/network drive for errors, so checked mine as well) and everything was perfect, with no health issues a D temperature not going past 41*C.

Computer didn't seem any slower and no software was installed in last few days. I had occasional audio drivers crashes in last month, but Samsung Update Agent took care of that.

Currently it is running diagnostic, no USB devices plugged in, no Ethernet, just AC. It doesn't seem to make any progress though.

If ya'll could help me figure out what to do, and at least restore my data so I can back up recent work, it would be amazing.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
