Bear in mind that reformating may solve nothing. You can find yourself

Korea92, I strongly second what Gerry says above. If you reformat and
reinstall to get rid of a problem, you will not have found out what
caused the problem, and are very likely to repeat the same behavior
that caused it, and quickly find yourself back in the same situation.
