Hello,
Everything is in the title, but I'll explain how I got here, it might be better.
My PC problems started last October. It was working fine during the afternoon, then I had to put it in sleep mode for a few minutes to move it (wanting to lose as little battery as possible...) and when I tried to wake it up, horror: it took a whole hour to recover, ultimately displaying no icons on my desktop. After forcibly shutting it down, I noticed it took two hours to turn on (but all my icons were there). And also, I remember getting a memory read error if I'm not mistaken.
I did some research on my side and the ideal solution turned out to be to refresh the PC, as I had important files on it. All my software had disappeared, but it worked, the PC took only a few seconds to start up, ran well, and I was able to keep all my files.
And that's when the nightmare began. Since then, every two to three months I find myself having to refresh the PC again, just because, from one day to the next, it took two hours to start up.
I had the same issue two days ago, but after three refresh attempts, I had to face the fact that it wouldn't work: for all three, the loading never exceeded 16% (even after running all night).
I forced the computer to shut down to restart it (two-hour startup once again) and I told myself that this time, I had to do a factory reset, cleaning all the drives, because I might have had a virus and it must have left remnants in the computer.
Except here's the problem: I started the restoration yesterday at 4:30 PM. Everything was fine until 8:45 PM. Since that time, the loading continues (the little circle is turning without a hitch) but the percentage remains stuck at 60%. I left the PC running all night and it hasn't changed. I don't know what to do and I'm afraid that if I force it shut down, I'll lose it for good.
For your information, the PC is a Lenovo G50-70 (laptop), and I am on Windows 8.1 in 64-bit.
Currently, I'm using my small PC for classes (a not very powerful hybrid) and I absolutely need my other computer for my course projects, etc.
I'm completely lost, I implore your computer knowledge u.u
(And I apologize for any possible mistakes)
Configuration: Windows / Internet Explorer 11.0

Hello,
There may be a hard drive problem.
Try a Lenovo reset, if that’s not what you’ve done.

Also check if a Novo button is present: https://support.lenovo.com/us/fr/solutions/ht062552
If that doesn't help:

First of all, thank you for your quick response.
What I'm currently doing is indeed a factory reset, but I didn't go through Lenovo OneKey Recovery. I went through the PC settings... Maybe that's my mistake.
From what I see in the solutions provided, I have to turn off the computer while it's in the middle of restoring. I'm worried about the outcome, but if I don't do anything, it'll just keep running without doing anything more after tonight.
I found the Novo button, so I'm going to turn off the PC and go directly through that.
I'll keep you updated.
if nothing works, at worst you will have to reinstall Windows 8 from an installation media as well.
If it gets stuck, there is a hardware issue.
Otherwise, after a good half hour, OneKey Recovery started. I initiated the recovery from the initial/hidden partition. I don't know how much time I have left, but if it doesn't work, I'll move on to the last solution, which is reinstalling Windows.
