Repair Install tutorial, which step should I use?
I apologise for my slowness in understanding this tutorial, but I have been round and round in circles trying to do a repair install for days, and my brain is now fried. My computer is frequently crashing (not to blue screen though) either locking up, or rebooting. I've tried a startup repair but that tells me "No problems" even though power off reboots frequently fail.
I stumbled on this site and tutorial and tried what it suggests. The Upgrade Install failed and Windows restored the previous version, which is obviously broken. I went back into the tutorial to start again, and realised I might have been using the wrong step, 4,5 or 6. I find the explanation slightly confusing, for example, my original Win 7 Professional 64bit, and the MS DVD that came with it, I don't believe was SP1. My system is now SP1 which I assume was installed as an update. I am now not sure which of the steps applies to my situation.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
