My Desktop is stuck in the dell logo
I got my PC about 3 days ago and it was working fine with no problems at all the only thing that wasn't working properly was the network. I browsed a couple of webpages before I installed McAfee but they weren't harmful like Facebook and my email after that It was still working fine even the network but after a hour or so I noticed that the speed of my internet dropped dramatically the normal average ping, download and upload speed is: (Ping) : 10 (Download) : 18.50
(Upload) : 2.0 but when I tested it I was shocked. Ping was 600 download speed was 0.50 and upload 0.17 I asked a couple of friends that knew about tech but they didn't help much either so I just searched online and stuff because it wasn't a big deal, they told me to try typing ipconfig in CMD but it didn't work either so I just decided to get a new router because the router's manual (Arris TM802) only had up to windows 7 I tried to search and find drivers for windows 8 but I didn't find anything. but today I decided to boot up the desktop and see if anything has changed but it was stuck in the "dell" boot up screen I waited a couple of minutes but it still was stuck there I tried shutting it down a couple of times but it didn't work either. the router's flashlights are different color on my desktop and my laptop. On my windows 7 laptop it flashes orange on router and green & orange on the cable but it the desktop it flashes green on router and red & yellow on cable. some people told me it could be a virus but I full scanned my PC and it didn't find anything. By the way I used internet speed test and my PC is a Dell XPS 8500 special edition my monitor is a 20" Dell IN2030M.
Please help!

I tried to use System Image recovery so I clicked on it but then a pop up comes up and it says: Re-Image your computer An internal error occurred. The following information might help you resolve the error: The system cannot find the file specified (0x80070002)

Hi l3lackCrow,
As the system is stuck at Dell screen, I would like you to follow the below mentioned steps to restoring the computer.
There are two possible ways of restoring windows 8 to factory settings. They are “Refresh” and “Reset”.
Refresh: The Refresh option is primarily a repair method. It is a great method of returning your PC to a known good state while preserving your files and a great deal of your configuration. With the refresh your PC option, user accounts, data files, and some settings are preserved on your PC without the need to create a backup, or make choices about what to keep or remove.
Reset: This is similar to a PC restore. This option, also called Reset your PC is useful when a PC is changing hands, or when you want to get a completely fresh start on a PC, with no previous files or configuration retained. This option, also called Reset your PC is useful when a PC is changing hands, or when you want to get a completely fresh start on a PC, with no previous files or configuration retained.
To Refresh windows 8 please follow the below mentioned steps:
To reset the windows 8 to factory settings please follow the below mentioned steps:
(Note: Reset option will delete the data from the computer)
Please reply for any further help.
