    Windows 8 Startup Issues
    « on: August 27, 2018, 05:33:22 PM »
    I have a Windows 8 Pro 64 X Unit, that I built for my side business an started running into issues before I had put it up till I moved into the house I bought a few months back.  It gives me a start up error an runs a check disk an auto repair.  Usually, the repair will fail along with the start up repair; I thought that initially, I had restore points made but, it's not showing them.  It's giving me startup repair couldn't repair this pc, press advance options an creates a log.  I tried refresh your pc, fails an tells me that no changes were made.

    Mark.
