PLEASE HELP ME! I DELETED AN IMPORTANT WINDOWS FILE AND NOW MY PC WON’T BOOT

GOOD EVENING. PLEASE, I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP.

I don’t post very often, but I’ve run into a serious problem and I’m desperately asking for your help.

I’ve tried absolutely everything. I downloaded Windows from the official Microsoft website onto a USB drive and tried booting from it, but my PC still won’t accept it. I’ve tried countless commands from YouTube tutorials after searching for solutions, but nothing worked. I’ve force-shut down and restarted the PC many times, but that didn’t help either. I even removed the battery from my motherboard and still got nowhere.

And that’s not even the worst part. At first, I could at least access the Command Prompt and the Windows recovery environment, where I could try to repair my PC. Now I can’t even get into that anymore.

I’ve tried pressing F8 and other keys, hoping I could get back into the recovery/repair options, but nothing happens. It won’t let me access the troubleshooting menu, Command Prompt, repair mode, or even the option to reinstall Windows.

I honestly don’t know what else to do. I’ve watched countless videos and tried one solution after another, but my computer simply will not boot, and I can’t even access the recovery environment anymore.

Please, I’m begging you to help me in any way you can. I have extremely important files stored on this computer, including a lot of things I absolutely cannot afford to lose. I’m really worried that I might lose everything.

If you need any information about my PC — my CPU, motherboard, RAM, storage drive, BIOS settings, or anything else — please ask me. I’ll provide whatever information you need.

Please, I genuinely need your help. I’m completely stuck and I don’t know what else to try....

No display

My pc is turning on with the fans and the lights as well as my keyboard lights but no display, but after trying yesterday it went on bios and I saved the settings without changing anything. After that I restarted it because it went on black screen again. Upon restarting, it said updating your system abd after 100%, it saud restarting but it turned black again (no display). I tried powering it off and on again, still no display. I also tried reseating my rams, cleaning it using eraser. Tried changing my thermal paste, tried the cmos battery method. Still no display (black screen). Please help me I think I can't afford consulting this at the repair shop

Randomly Gets Stuck Booting to BIOS

A few months ago, I started running into an issue. My PC would just randomly boot to BIOS when I hit the power button. I went through basically every single fix and eventually unplugging the usb’s on the top of my computer made it open more consistently. Unfortunately, it has started booting to BIOS 1 out of every 20 or so times I try to turn it on. When I am actually able to get to my desktop, it blue screens and goes back to BIOS.

For context, my PC (bought in 2019) was originally a prebuilt from Alienware (The Aurora series) that I case swapped and replaced the motherboard, ram, and PSU. I am not very knowledgeable about computers but I’m trying my best lmao. I also overclocked it, but it ran perfectly for years aside from random storage issues and low framerate. The bios is the red and black version of Gigabyte.

My working theory is that it is having problems finding my windows file, but I don’t know how to confirm if that is the issue

Someone pls help me 😭😭, i’m literally so desperate and will answer any questions anyone has, I start school in less than a month and need this pc heavily.

TLDR: Pc keeps booting to BIOS and whenever I can actually get to my desktop, it blue screens.

Can Not click anything help

PC suddenly stops accepting mouse clicks
My PC suddenly stops responding to mouse clicks. I can move the mouse around and hover over things normally, but I can’t actually click anything. If I open Task Manager using the keyboard, mouse clicks start working again for a while, but then the problem comes back.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I’m worried it might be a virus or malware.

I ask you people of Reddit help

Hello people of Reddit I come forward again to ask for help on a serious matter, my pc is a rx 6750 xt with an i5 10400f 16gb or ram and a h510M-A msi motherboard, four months ago I dual booted Linux with windows, 3 days later the grub menu and bios menu and boot menu started giving me no signal screens so I kinda had to choose blindly until it opened the os then I can use it, I deleted windows and now I only have Linux, today when I was on the lockscreen I pressed esc and off on the pc button and when I turned it on there was no signal at all!! Yes nothing so what I did is I did everything I could, try every port hdmi and display port, try different cables, get the gpu off and then get the cmos battery off for 10 minutes, put the cmos battery in again then put the gpu back in, didn’t work then I had the ram off and on then I put it in the second slot still nothing, tbh at this point idk what to do I don’t think I can do anything, shame it happened on the same day my second monitor is going to get delivered so I got no money to fix the pc and no pc to try the new crisp 2k screen, so lastly it was a good time talking with yall yall helped me from the start without you im nothing byaia

Edit
Forgot to mention
1-ez debug works like normally boot>red>yellow>white>no light and then usually the pc is on
2-the pc works like normally fans rgb and usb devices work
3-caps on works when i toggle it
4-im using the normal slot for everything no extended pcie or ram slot cable if there’s even a thing like that

My pc won't boot. Only a black screen with the mouse (Locally built Asus computer with Windows 10 OS)

My pc won't boot. Only a black screen with the mouse. As stated above, it is a pc that was built as my gifter says. Not sure if there is a difference between them and pcs bought from the actual brand or manufacturer. Anyway, i was trying to play a game with friends and noticed it was not even booting up the game and stuck on the loading screen. So, we dusted it the best we could without jostling and damaging any of the hardware. To top it off, I went to task manager to see what's up and maybe clear up processing usage. Suddenly, when I restarted it, the black screen and mouse showed up.

Mind you, I only dabbled a bit CS, but it was only caution, spite, internet knowledge and a dad who did do it. It worked for me previous times, but my fortune ran out. If it is relevant, in the task manager, I ended all the processes relating to microsoft edge and steam things that I was not using. However, whenever it didn't do anything fast enough, I just tried again. I think I clicked something I shouldn't have. No room for no patience in tech is what I'm taking away from this. How do I fix it without going to a tech store? I am unable to do it. If there's no way to fix it, then at least how do I factory reset it? Everything's accounted for, so I am not worried.

Is my AOC Monitor broken?

Hello everyone!

My monitor suddenly stopped working today, and I'm trying to figure out if it's completely dead or if there's a fix I haven't tried yet.

The Issue: I played on my PC for about 2 hours today, turned it off, and came back an hour later. The monitor won't turn on at all no display and no power LED indicator light.

Troubleshooting steps I've already tried:

  • Power Cable Swap: I own two of the exact same monitor. I swapped the power cable with my working monitor, but it made no difference. The original cable works fine on the second monitor.
  • Power Cycle / Static Discharge: I unplugged the power cable, held the monitor's power button for 60 seconds, and plugged it back in. Still no life/LED light.

My Questions:

  1. Is the monitor's internal power supply (PSU) or mainboard fried, or is there any other trick to revive it?
  2. If it's dead, what replacements should I consider? I'm looking for a 34" 21:9 Ultrawide, 1440p, 120Hz+ monitor.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Pc not working

My computer stopped working this morning. It was working perfectly fine yesterday, but now when I turn it on, it won’t bring me to the Windows screen where I can enter my password. It keeps bringing me to an American Megatrends/BIOS screen instead.
I’ve tried restarting it, unplugging everything, and checking the little CR2032 battery, but nothing has worked. I’m not sure if the battery is the issue or if it’s something else.
