Troubleshoot My PC is completely insane! Help please :(

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

Several blue screens. Proper boots but my desktop only shows up for 3 minutes

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

I tried to install Windows 10 from scratch, but I don't have a pen, I will buy it tomorrow

Hi buddys!

I don't want to bother but something serious is happening with my machine.

Since yesterdy night my PC was shuting down several times, right after the desktop image appeared.
I did system restore and it worked until I left my house to college, earlier in the morning. I update my pc and turned it off...

When I came back home, I turned on my PC and the old mighty blue screens were back on track...

My Pc only worked for 5 minutos each time...

Then, I thought I could install W 10 from scratch just to eliminate all kinds of problems, but I didn't succedeed since I only had 2 DVD'S and none of them worked properly.

Can you help me to put my PC back on top like it used to be?

Honestly, I don't what the hell happend... Because now seems ok, but I know it's not...

As far as I know, when you upgrade from win 8.1 no key is needed since you already have one.
When you update and connect to internet, Microsoft will " see" it.
Noxt time you install win 10 again, no key needed, when asked, press "skip".
You can see your current key as the windows 10 one with a simple script.

I just gooogled, the genuine ticket file is needed to do a win 10 install by scratch without upgrading win 8 before.
The original way is to first update, then clean install.
I did it this way and had no problems at all.

Well, I would like to install from scratch, as I tried to install through update and I ended up to the store where I bought my pc, so they could install W8.1 again 3 months ago...

That's not true, you can perform clean install from dvd, usb.

Yes, that's what I said. OP was asking, but was not clear if upgrading from Windows 8.1 or fresh installation with purchased licence.

The free upgrade needs a previous Windows installed, that's what is written on the web, then a clean install can be performed.

I've just installed w10 successfully but It happend again.

Install Windows 10 as an upgrade (overwrite previous Windows installation) or clean install (wipe C:\ drive)?
What happened again? Could you elaborate on the details.
