    OT means off topic. :D

    ...don't know 'what you've been reading on other sites, lol.

    Btw. Asking your parents for the receipt sounds like a smart idea; Check if the machine is still under warranty.
    ...as some people already mentioned there are indications for hardware failure.

    Now let asume for a moment there is NO hardware failure... You should be able to do a fresh install via DVD or pendrive using the correct version of Windows.
    *...depends on the geographical location; where the machine was bought*.
    In my country these days most machines come pre-installed with Windows 8.x Core version.

    Sounds like a laptop I was working on months ago..... It had the pre-8.1 Windows 8 and doing a factory recovery took forever! Like XP with only 64 MB of RAM! It was a Toshiba laptop with an AMD E350! Windows at times felt like I was running XP with only 64 MB of RAM!

    And sometimes felt like running Windows 95 on a 386 with only 4 MB of RAM!
    Sometimes, it acted like the HDD was in PIO mode. (Only 4 MB/s or close to that) (Feels like copying large files to a USB pen drive!) WTF!

    IIRC, it sometimes froze at the familiar Windows 8 animation, which reminds me of the European Union flag.
