So my computer crashed when i was afk and when i came back it would go to the starting windows screen, then stay there forever. So i found that making a recovery disk (which was recommended) helped to a minor extent. it took like 5-6 hrs to fix and I haven't tried to reboot due to fears of not working again and losing my precious data. but I managed to get in and am typing this but everything takes a few minutes to open and everything is laggy. Windows 7() Lenovo Thinkpad T500 3.75 GB RAM ton of space left on HD around 120gb.I am installing 2 updates 1 important and 1 optional to try to fix it. Super smart techies, give me your opinion... ... ...
