Hi, Everytime i startup my pc, it loads everything, but when i try to open something (folder, ie, anything!) it dosent open and stops responding. I can move my mouse around but i cant open task manager, or click on anything.
Im resonably new to troubleshooting and i have some very important files on the pc that are related to my work.
