OP
I'm sorry the post is so long, but I want to explain what happened so maybe someone can tell me how to fix this, also I'm not sure if this is in the correct thread.
My computer was working fine until about two days ago, when programs started to stop responding whenever I did pretty much anything, I was still able to do some stuff though. The next day, as soon as I got on the computer, the first thing I did was attempt to clear some files out of my Downloads folder, because I rarely do. While I was doing that, the Windows Explorer windows I had open stopped responding, I left it alone, and then came back and continued to clear files out of my Downloads folder, then the windows stopped responding again, I switched over to the Skype window I had open, and then tried to delete more files, Windows stopped responding entirely, and the whole screen went white, and a window appeared in the corner of the screen saying "Windows Explorer has stopped responding." I couldn't even end the process, so I waited a while, and came back to my computer, but it was still stuck, so I shut off the computer, when I turned it back on, it wouldn't boot properly. It would try to load, and then show the Windows 8 BSOD, and then an error for a split second, and then would try to boot again. I've tried using the Kaspersky Rescue Disc, but it wouldn't mount drive C:/. I also tried to run our Windows 8 x64 setup disc, but it would just stay at a black screen after trying to load, next I'm gonna try running Ubuntu from a USB, and I'm gonna try to grab a few of the files that I need off of my hard drive.
This actually had happened with my computer before, but with no warning at all, and the only way we were able to fix it was by installing Ubuntu, and then re-installing Windows 8. I want to try and avoid doing that this time since there are some files I want to save. I hope someone can help.
(Also, typing on an iPad is horrible.)
