Default Computer issues and wits end!   #1  
So perhaps some one on trisphee can help me rather then the people I bought the computer from.

So I have been needing a new desktop one that has enough power to run photoshop, a tablet and a scanner. I got a desktop but I suppose my first mistake was buying it from a rent to own place. ( I am poor it seemed like the best deal ) Well for the first few weeks it seemed all fine and dandy. Except I kept getting an error message that said the recycle bin in c:\ file was corrupted. I called the lady about it and she said she would look into it.

I attached my scanner and uploaded the program, then I thought well hay I have a good computer I can play sims. So I bought a version of sims. And then the problems seem to tumbleweed into an avalanche. First one day it took my computer forever to boot up and when I got to the main screen it blacked out. I shut it down waited restarted and got an error message saying my computer was checking itself. I can post the full message since I wrote it down in a log to tell the place where I bought the computer. Each time I turn the device on it must go through a ten minute system check. When I finally got it past the log in, my game file was corrupted and my scanner software was not installed correctly or so it says. And the damn trashcan had not deleted itself.

The only advice I was given was to push F3 and do a full system restore back to factory settings. I asked the lady if the computer has viruses as in my experience corrupted anything usually means something is mucking up the internal settings.
She said no that she did the full restore once before and it should work.

My thing is one does anyone know anything about full system restores? Two how do I fully get rid of corrupted files and lastly is it worth it lugging this thing to geek squad?
