Six month computer not working
Hello everyone, I have been having trouble with my computer for a while now and I could really use some help from experienced Windows 7 users. This is the first computer I have ever built and I have put alot of money and time into it.
The problem: The computer was working for a long time until about two months ago when I left it off for about three days. After three days, I came to turn it on and the windows screen came on and just froze there. I then tried a start up repair and that could not find the problem, so I restarted it and it ran a check disk and to my surprise it started to say that all my files were either corrupt or unreadable. Next, I reformatted it and installed the OS again and it worked for a few weeks, then I had the same problem. So I have had to keep reformatting the hard drive everytime ive had the problem and now after a fresh reformat I started updating and installing my products like Xfire and Norton. Now everytime I log on, the computer slows and freezes up with hardly and programs running on startup, Norton.
My dad has tried to help me, but he really only knows more about Windows XP and older versions.
