and if it's a SSD issue? Running Linux from a bootable DVD/USB stick is a hack solution. If you're gonna do it, do it properly. Since the machine is rather problematic, I doubt the OP has any data on it to worry about, so installing shouldn't be an issue other than time taken to do so. Most modern Linux installations are easier and quicker than Windows too...and detect all of your hardware OOTB, unlike Microsoft Windows.
