Hello /g/, I dun goofed;
>went to a friend's house
>he has a decent gaming laptop
>"you update it's drivers?"
>"lol I don't know what they are"
>Install one driver updating software (Driver Booster) and update drivers
>His pc has been crashing, even after doing a system recovery to before the installation

I know, I know, now I know that driver installing software are cancer after doing research, but I had it on my pc after the recomendation of a friend, and never had any issues with it.
What can the cause be? His windows 10 is updated, we checked.

Do I do a windows 10 reinstall on his pc keeping his files, or should I do a full reinstalation with a disk (probably will bring it to a pc technician and pay my bucks since the pc isn't mine).
I dun goofed and now I gotta pay the price, and I only wanted to help.

What else could you possibly hope to achieve? You're useless. Kill yourself.

This is why I don't mess with other people's computers, even if they're a mess and my intentions are good.

And OP probably bragged about "being good with computers" and that it would be a "piece of cake". Kek

To be honest, I did. I have assembled my own computer and fixed a bunch of friends and family computers, and never had an issue with them.

Don't worry OP, windows just werks unlike linux. It'll sort itself out and you won't have to do anything arcane or over the top. Microsoft only produces the highest quality software and personally approved third party drivers, unlike ganoo/losernix.
>>
>>54616802
Install the superior operating system Ganoo PLUS Loonix.
>>
find the right drivers by looking at your device manager and looking up the ven/dev numbers

Reminder to never install anything with booster in its name on any of your electronic devices.

I guess that I could look up the laptop model and install each corresponding driver, yeah.

Please kill yourself, Pajeet

You could've just went to AMD or Nvidia's official website and downloaded the drivers from there. Driver installing software is known to break shit, don't use it.

>good with computers
>why use windows update when we can driver boost
>>
>>54616802
Can you describe your problem more in details?

What happened when it crashed? What happens when you try to turn it on?

I'm not good with Windows, but I'll do my best.

got what you deserved, just sorry it happened to your friends pc and not yours
>>
>>54622476
Ok, I'll go to bed. Sorry.

If you get to a cli prompt, it probably means the graphic card driver doesn't work. So you should put the appropriate driver (which you may find on the graphic card seller website, such as Nvidia) in an external storage, then mount it, go in the directory through the command-line utility cd and run the binary.

Or you may just back it up and make a fresh install.
