I have a 2018 Lenovo ideapad. It was working fine up until a few weeks ago when I downloaded the FXSound EQ and Sound Enhancer.
Ever since then my laptop has been acting fucked up. The OS is lagging - It takes 30-60sec to open a file, it's slow to connect to wifi (takes around 10mins) and now today it won't boot at all. I started it up and it was saying "Preparing Automatic Repair" - I looked up troubleshooting instructions online and followed them, but my laptop kept going in a loop - same thing kept happening 3 times.
NOW my laptop screen is black and it's loud - like it's trying to repair something. It's been like this for over 30mins and I'm getting really pissed off.
WTF do I do? Do I let it keep trying to boot or should I shut it off and restart it?
I don't have a boot CD (or even a CD/DVD drive on the computer) and I'm out of options.
Edit: After over an hour it finally told me what's wrong, it's either missing
EDIT 2: It's the next day and I don't even want to touch my laptop because it's gonna make me really angry
My patience for technical problems declines every year.
