My brother is having some PC problems. His PC takes forever (2-4 minutes) to fully boot up and recently it's been randomly shutting down. So he dropped it off yesterday for me to look at.
First I cleaned a bunch of dust out of the case. Then I scanned for virus's (with Malwarebytes and Avast) and removed some odd start up items and misc nonsense programs, which seems to help the boot time a bit. I have suspected that his HD has been failing for a while now, so I ran CrystalDiskInfo on the HD. I know the CrystalDiskInfo results say "Caution" but I figured I'd also get some [H] opinions on the numbers / info listed below.
My other thought with the random shutdowns is that it's PSU related, but figured I'd start with the HD.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
