Windows PC shutting off immediately after boot (NON CODE)
my sister's PC is getting fucked rn, whenever she boots it up it'll automatically shut off in seconds
she's got files in there that she doesn't want to delete with a system reset
reinstalling windows from BIOS results in a shut off same way
any ideas?
I was floating the idea of trying to install Linux just to get the files out before doing factory reset
but I'm not too experienced

here are some pictures she took
boot through a recovery iso, store the files somewhere safe, and re-image the pc.
That's what I would recommend as well
You don't have to use Linux necessarily, just get an ISO image that you can then burn on a USB flash drive or a CD (if you have CD RW disk)
Use RUFUS to do that
ill tell her to try that out when she wakes up
Just steal it bruh
but that should be an installation of windows thats entirely on a USB right? from there she could recover the files and then do a clean wipe?
Yes.
nice
unless that hard drive is corrupted
shes been blaming the latest windows update
but i havent seen any news on windows updates breaking stuff
Microsoft can never do any harm
sounds like it could possibly be overheating if anything
maybe check temperatures
temps should be fine as far as i know
i had that happen to me before when my cooler wasn't on right
ohh
i'd say check just incase
get like hardware monitor and look for the cpu temps
yeah no temps are fine
I gave the suggestion and this is what my sister and her tech friend thinks is the issue
they also said that booting from a USB will cause it to overheat and cause more issues
what temps?
so hardware issue it is then?
that's what they think might be the case
This is the weirdest case, I've ever seen
why would booting from a usb cause it to overheat if its not currently overheating?
no clue
Asking myself that exact question
her tech friend is adamant on it
i dont think it works like that from my experience
^^
Meaning it leans more to hardware issue imo
its either its already overheating or using a usb shouldnt cause any issues
I'm asking to see if I can get you guys into a group chat with him if you have the time
I'm not too experienced when it comes to hardware or OS stuff
so alot of information will be lost/incorrect if I'm the middleman between the 
It already sounds incorrect lmao
lool
You can go and stay within the bios but when you hit windows it explodes?
yeah seems like it
Windows either on that hard drive or USB
It doesn't make sense
him or her?
tech friend is a him
sister is a her
ok
tech friend has denied groul chat request because he says he understands what's going on
I guess we're booking a trip to his country so that he can take a look I guess
he works in computer repair
so I guess that's 
Weird
thanks for the help but it seems my sister and her tech friend has it covered?
aitee best of luck
ig gl
I'm just confused now tbh
thanks btw guys I mean it
This is the first I heard that a computer can overheat by booting from a USB image
The computer is cursed
Yeah
I would love to hear back from Jody after he fixed the issue with his tech friend
Lol yeah keep us posted
