Tried disk scan c drive error pops up with error about system 32 with some numbers. Try to find out but pc seems tokeep shuting down.

If the hard drive is bad , there is not much you can do but get a new one. If you cant test it yourself have a friend help you.

can anyone log into my pc to check it ?

Only if you can log in as you would need to install Team Viewer or something like that.

TeamViewer - Free Remote Access and Remote Desktop Sharing over the Internet

What is your computer model?

 

[pcmatty]

Its acer. Omg jus rebooted this time and its doing the acer recovery where all data will be put back to factory condish. Its in the acer eRecovery management screen doing its stuff

Ok that means my first instructions worked. Just have to wait about an hour now and you will be all set.

Yup. Sounds like it's totally failing based on how many issues you're having. I'd offer to use Teamviewer to "log on" and check it out for you, but it seems pretty useless at this point, and I doubt you'd even be able to install it. Hard drives are pretty cheap (you can grab a 1 terabyte drive for 100 bucks on eBay; less memory = less cost). I'd just do that because it doesn't sound like you're going to be able to recover yours. Nothing you can do if it's failing. Sorry about that.

Oh forgot to refresh the page, missed all the new posts. If that factory restore actually solves the problem then more power to you!
