Looking for some tech help if anyone has time/advice...
Transported my pc to my parents and back this week without apparent issue.
Set up at home and my pc freezes which is unusual but w/e. I had just Chrome and HS open.
I had to power it off and on. I get the Error Recovery Window on start up. I choose the repair option and it just goes back to that screen a few times. I choose normal and it starts to boot Windows and then restarts. I choose normal start up and it's back up and running. Since then I've had it crash and restart a few times. 3 times I've gotten a blue screen, only one time was I able to get a blurry picture on my phone before it restarted. Now my computer starts up really slow and will run as normal for an hour or so but it's crashed a number of times in like 12 hours.
I'm looking for: what do I start with or check out? My dad suggested checking connections since something might have loosened in transit.
Of possible relevance: My brother just had an issue with his comp over the holiday where it wouldn't boot Windows and just froze. It seems kinda similar but his never got running again as far as I know.
I cleaned my pc out as it was getting dusty and I was cleaning my desk yesterday anyways.

The idea that something got loose in transit seems like a likely cause.

Really need more info as to what exactly you were doing and exactly how it froze to diagnose something like that though.

Hmm..

Great Grandparents died last night and I can't afford the time off to go to Wales to visit family.
Got written out of the will as a by product of my mother gaining the power of attorney.
Find the bank alt where my gold is to be locked for 48 for investigation.

This is pretty much the worst day since the stock market crashed.

It froze the first time I opened a new tab in Chrome. I could not get the mouse to move or make any inputs.

It hasn't frozen since, just crashes.

Thanks for the response everyone I did a quick pass through and nothing looked loose. I'll check again, especially the ram

It happens. Lady Luck fucks me and fucks with me quite often.

Edit: The third one isn't as bad as it seems. Apparently someone in China tried to brute force my account and almost got the password .
