Hello friends, today we will talk about the tutorial Refresh your PC, a feature of the Windows operating system and Windows 8 8.1 Blue allows us to refresh the system or rather to return it to the state it was in immediately after installation, fresh no software installed.
Well if using the Refresh your PC in PC Settings existence we have to have around us a DVD with Windows or 8 8.1 and its help we can only do a Refresh PC will be needed because some files on DVD that the process occur.
Because in Windows 8 and 8.1 there is a small utility called "recimg.exe" that can be used from CMD, we can use it to manipulate how the system will refresh. Basically we will use the small utility "recimg.exe" to generate a custom ".wim" image (windows image) that will contain the desktop applications installed by us and so the operating system will use it to refresh and will no longer be necessary a DVD with Windows 8 or 8.1
The image generated by the "recimg.exe" utility will always be named "CustomRefresh.wim" and if we want to generate more such images we will have to make them in separate folders because the name must remain "CustomRefresh.wim" for its system can use it in case of a refresh.
The "recimg.exe" utility also has some parameters that can be used in CMD:
/ setcurrent - allows you to set as the current image one of the previously generated “CustomRefresh.wim” images, a function that can be used if you have more than one “CustomRefresh.wim” image
/ deregister - causes it to tell the system not to use the "CustomRefresh.wim" image in case of a refresh, useful if we have more "CustomreRefresh.wim" images and we want to use another one instead of the current one.
/ showcurrent - shows us the location of the "CustomRefresh.wim" image, a useful parameter if we have several "CustomRefresh.wim" images and we want to know which one is used and where it is.
What happens after the "Refresh your PC" process?
If you generate a custom image and use a DVD with Windows or 8 8.1 to go through this process, the system will return to the default settings and remove all desktop applications but will not touch the personal files Pictures, Documents, Music. Windows Store apps will remain installed in the system.
If we use "Refresh your PC" but before we generate a custom image, after the process "Refresh your PC" the system will return to the basic settings, we will have Desktop applications installed but they will be reset to the default state, for example the browser will lose settings and bookmarks but will remain installed. The advantage is that you will not have to download and reinstall your favorite applications. In this case, too, the system will not touch the existing files in Music, Pictures, Desktop, Documents. \
In conclusion, "Refresh your PC" is an extremely useful function that can be used when we get infected or when we make all kinds of bizarre settings through applications and we would like them to return to their basic state, as they were when they were I installed.
"Refresh your PC" can be used both from the Desktop interface and if we can no longer access the Desktop interface using a bootable DVD with Windows 8 or Windows 8.1
Custom Refresh PC or Windows 8 and applications as bring back the default settings

If you have not received an answer means you have not made good question and did not provide details.
A PC can lock in many cases:
1. Ram incompatible.
2. Ram problems.
3. Hard disk problems.
4. Overheating.
5. Windows problems (pirated).
6. Drivers installed properly.
7. Game issues (pirated, poorly ripuit).
8. Components too weak.
9. Motherboard problem (capacitors).
10. Contacts weak slots or food.
11. Source of poor quality which provides voltage specified in solocitare extreme points.
These are just a few reasons but are very many reasons for blocking.
As a friend used to say: “I can't talk like that, it must be seen! "
They solve problems like that of nearby, and you take what I've listed above and see what you can do.
