I'm really in a pickle and need some help! I bought a new CPU last year (or maybe the year before, my memory is horrible), and a few months ago it started acting up. I've tried fixing it with some tricks I found online, but they only work temporarily. Now it's getting worse, and I'm worried I won't be able to use my PC during finals. I'm at home right now, and everything I need is back at my boarding house. The last time I checked, it wouldn't even boot past a certain screen. If anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this, I'd really appreciate it! Even if it means losing everything on the CPU, I'm okay with that since I don't have much on there anyway. Thank you in advance!

It sounds like your computer is stuck in the BIOS menu. When you're back at your boarding house, try pressing the right arrow key three times when you start it up. You should be in the 'BOOT' tab. If possible, post a screenshot or video of what happens after that, as it might provide more clues on what's going wrong. Good luck!
I can't try it right now since I’m not there, but I followed a tutorial before and had to go to the boot menu to reset some things, which worked for a little while. Then it just kept coming back to that screen. I hope it’s not something major!
