I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! A VIRUS APPROACHED MY COMPUTER
MY BRITHER DOWNLOADED WINRAR FROM SOME WEIRD PLACE
OR IT WAS FROM LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
the geek squad people said it was from league of legends that my brother downloaded. LOOOOL. Glad I got warranty, Ima get a new one prob later.

Oh my god. I am so sad for you. :(
RIP $500.
Geek Squad = Biggest scam artists in the world.

You claimed there was no virus, and btw no winrar/league of legends is not the source, but have fun thinking that.
Install an antivirus "next time" since you are so hard set on replacing the entire PC over an install issue ,_,

Since I've installed Linux slowdowns and freeze issues are no longer a problem, the machine runs like a breeze. I remember having Windows 7 and every now and then I'd encounter a slowdown, not any more.

Have malware? Need new pc!
Ah, me friend Sicklyboy,
When I went yesterday at noon, the people said it was full of viruses with a tune.
I said that, well, since we have warranty, ill just get a new PC, and that's what they suggested.
With a guarantee, I picked up an atc605eb something, but all I know it has amd raedon r7 240 graphics card.
Today when I'm not lazy, I'll head down best buy to get windows 8.1 installed.
For sure I won't have a crazy time.

Microsoft goofed with an update, and many users of 8.1 are experiencing this, myself included... Microsoft recommends holding off on the updates for a bit while they fix things.

I had sleep issues with Windows 8. I haven't updated to 8.1
I should have spent the extra money to get Windows 7 but I wanted the PC that day.

I know this is not a solution many people would want to do, but when my dad game me a laptop that was doing this (It was fairly new, it came with 8.1) I tried re installing windows, but that didn't fix it. Then I put UBuntu 14.04 on it, and it ran smooth as budder.
