Actually what sparked this topic was that for some reason, my computer keeps getting stuck at the windows logo part during "Starting Windows".

Safe Mode keeps getting stuck at Classpnp.sys. Tried reinstalling Windows 7 via USB but didn't work. Tried a few times too. Kept getting BSOD and other errors. I don't have a Windows 7 disc so my butt is getting jammed with the stupid errors and crap. I figured all I have to do is to reinstall Windows and it will work out well.

But since my computer can only run Fallout 3 at Max setting, I need more HDD and things like that, I figured why not just change to a new computer? I realised the question of mobo being dead was because I simply copy and paste my previous topic from 4 years ago. Actually, my mobo isn't dead.

Hence my decision to buy a new computer and reinstall Windows 7 and at least I can play Fallout 4 and Far Cry 4 because my previous company could only run Far Cry 3...

I didn't get to back up anything. I think I need to read up on how to create a Linux OS on USB but my laptop is a Mac so I'm not sure how we're going to fit this into the equation.

Should be able to. Mac is based on unix (i.e. Closer to linux than windows)
