Is the problem in Windows or in hardware? Diagnostics answer that. Verify each hardware item. Either test each hardware or run the entire diagnostic to test everything, including memory.
Diagnostics mean identifying the problem before fixing it which is why only better computer manufacturers such as HP and Dell provide them.
Do not format anything. That would be fixing something without any idea what is wrong. Nuke and Pave is the last ditch - burn down the world and let nature fix it - solution.
