So I'm doing what 99% of Windows users already know how to do. Reformat and re-install. It's the normal Windows repair procedure, always has been and always will be unfortunately.


Just wanted to point out that from your description, it sounds like what you've got is a hardware failure. So although your complaints about Windows needing to be reinstalled are valid in the general sense, in this particular instance, it doesn't sound like Windows' fault to me.
