Is repair install my best option?
Running Win 7 x64 on built pc. I recently posted on here about my computer acting strangely (check my posts if you're curious). Well now it reboots constantly, won't let me run system restore, sfc finds errors but can't fix them, windows update fails every time, and it won't do simple things like play movies without pixelating and rebooting. I honestly think my windows has somehow become FUBAR, and I'm afraid my final option is a repair reinstall.
My questions are, do you think this is appropriate, and would it work? I have my retail OEM disc that I can use to run the upgrade reinstall. I would follow this tutorial if this is what's needed.
Repair Install
Also, I don't think I will be able to back up things like music and word documents, chrome bookmarks, and other things I find important to keep. What are the odds of losing this stuff through a repair/upgrade reinstall?
Thank you for your time!
