    Ok mate the memtest it is the only one we will recommend as per my earlier post.
    Now the RAM is important because in a nutshell the operating system is loaded into it at boot up and if nothing is being loaded then the system will not run because it has no basic info up and going to run programs from or from within itself ie sfc.

    The hard drive if you cannot get the system up and running then you have either have got to get it going by looking at other components (and as mad as it may sound even the PSU is a major source of problems withing the system but more of that after the memtest has been done) or you have to hook the drive up to another machine and run tests on it via the other machines system.

    Ok well as a start I would be running this RAM - Test with Memtest86+ as it seem as if it wants to boot but cannot load the RAM.

    But I could be wrong but at least this will eliminate that cause - just remember to run for at least 8 passes any less and you may as well not bother and it is the only test we recommend here. If the errors come up straight away then you can stop the test. However if it still runs in a black screen when you boot from that memtest disk we shall have to look elsewhere.
    I ran the memtest but there was 0 errors; 2 passes :)
    So whats the deal now?

    Mine crashed sometime ago and after panicking I remembered safe mode too, when in safe mode I managed to use a 'restore point' from not too long ago and that fixed mine. Also I remember in safe mode/recovery somewhere there is an option to 'restart in 30 seconds' or so, cant remember much about it now but it gave a helpful option too, rather than picking an option, let it restart in 30sec and there is another option.
    I got rid of Avira too, havent needed it since.

    Well yeah im a big fan of using system restore point too but sadly, when i had access to safe mode, restore point didnt have any previous backups
    Then after like 1 day, i couldnt access the safe mode so im pretty much going to need to put it in some laptop repair shop sadly
    Like seriously i never installed an antivirus that did these type of things
    AVG truly sucks, never expected that, but oh dear.
    Oh and btw i had also Advanced System Care 8 which was excellent, but since i got that AvG into my laptop, it gott pretty much :/ .....

    Now Majd I think I did specify that the memtest has to be run for at least 8 passes - two passes is just not enough because errors can occur during the subsequent passes after the first one or two. The test without getting too technical runs using different input and outputs and frequencies etc and while the two that you ran came back negative errors it may have just been that those two test passes/runs did not use the combinations that the software uses hence it may well have missed a pass that would have come up as an error. See the first few lines of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86

    For an analogy take a car and rive it round a certain test circuit that has all the features that any road could throw at it and do that in first gear then second gear then third etc etc - doing that like that might not come up with any faults until you use a certain gear or pattern of gear changes driving that circuit.

    I know it is tedious and time consuming but sometimes we have to eliminate problems using things like the memtest.

    I see, because 2 passes took like 5 hours, but anywayd ill do that, i wonder tho, what is memtest exactly?

    Yeah they are fully functional
    I can access bios menu and device configurations

    When i first got this problem, i was able to access everything, and even the Starting Windows would appear
    But i dont know what happened now.

    When mine cacked itself I was panicky, that stopped me from working out what to do. I slept on it and 'viola' managed to fix it. Does anything you have access to on the computer let you fix the F keys? Bios?
