howdy! so last night i left my desktop running for a little while and went to watch stranger things in the other room. i walked by the computer later when i was getting some water and it was booting (weird because i left it on). i go and wait for it to boot up and it crashes. i restart it and it takes forever to boot, i log in and everything seems normal. then chrome comes up with an error about the profile being wrong or something, some other errors flood the screen and the computer crashes. i restart it, no boot. i restart it again in verbose mode and i find an error about the volume header and “the disk hackintosh hd could not be repaired” and it crashes again. so then i figure great i’ll do some research and everything tells me to backup the drive and format it. only one problem with that; i have no operating system to back it up with. so i buy a sata to usb cable to plug my hard drive into another computer and back it up to an external drive. i couldn’t use time machine because it can only back up the hard dive of the computer i was using so i just created a disk image out of it (probably not the best thing considering dragging everything back into place later will be a pain in the ass). then i used my old macOS boot drive and tried to reinstall macOS. i format the hard drive and everything seems to be fine (again) and it reaches the end and says macOS cant be installed on this hard drive. so i try installing from the recovery partition it made and it also didn’t work. I’ve tried it again over and over and now my windows drive wont even show up for some reason. at this point, the computer seems pretty bricked to me. anybody got any suggestions?
p.s sorry this post ended up so long (also i wrote this on my phone, please excuse typos)
edit: my specs are as follows: i5 7500k msi z270 sli 16gb ballistix sport 2x 240gb sandisk ssd corsair cx850m gigabyte 4gb gtx 1050ti
