Asus laptop frozen on startup screen

[Guest]

I have an Asus - Q304UA that runs with Windows 10. I downloaded the sims 3 game a few days ago and notice it ran slow and would freeze. So i uninstalled some expansion packs as well as a few apps such as asus giftbox and pandora. However my laptop began to freeze while uninstalling so I shut it down using the power button (task manager and such wouldnt come up). When I tried powering it up it stuck on the asus in search of incredible. I turned it off again and tried again until once i got to windows opening screen. I signed in and everything seems okay and while i was using the internet it froze. I had to force shut it down again and now its been on the asus screen. Any help please? I got this back in August so its not that old. Thanks in advance!

Note: If this problem started after an update (or system reinstall), please make sure the laptop is not connected to the internet in any way before you use the following instructions.

Try the following...

1. Power off the laptop.
2. Power on the laptop.
3. As soon as you see the rotating loading circle, press and hold the Power Button until the computer shuts off.
4. Repeat this process a few times until you see the "Preparing Automatic Repair" screen.
5. Now you want to let the laptop boot to the "Automatic Repair" screen.
6. Click "Advanced Options" and then select "Troubleshoot".
7. Here you want to select "Refresh your PC", if you do not wish to erase data, or "Reset your PC" to erase all data and restore your system.
8. From here just follow the screen instructions until the recovery is completed.

NOTE: You will need to get into the "Advanced Options" in order to get the "Refresh Option". This choice will keep your data, but any programs installed will be lost.

Do not do a "Reset" as that will wipe all data you have on the laptop.
