I just got back from being out of town and without my laptop for 2 weeks. When I got home and started it up it did fine. My Internet stopped working so I decided to restart the computer since that usually helps. I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Delete in order to get to my "Shut down," "Restart", etc. options. When I clicked on the icon to get to the "Shut down" command the computer froze. I had to force a shut down. When I restarted it was fine. It launched my Open Office Restore Document prompt and when I tried to decline restoring the document the computer blue screened. I went to reboot and it got stuck on the initial Win 8 start up screen. I forced a restart again. The next time I received an error "Windows Boost Manager has Been Blocked by the Current Security Policy" I pressed "Ok" and it went on to checking different drives, which all failed. It then said, "No Boot Drive Available". This is when I started Googling and trying to find solutions. While Googling I found information saying that either my hard drive is toast or my motherboard is toast, While I was reading this the laptop successfully restarted and I am on it now.
Should I be worried? What's going on? Should I run a test on my hard drive or was this a fluke?
Thank you,
