Screen record does not work

I got my laptop about a year ago. Fairly close to telling everyone I know to stay far far away. For one, this thing just up and dies randomly (usually around 20-10%.) Also, I used to use the screen record all the time and throw away the recording after use (for class.) Today I come to find none of my class was recorded cause this stupid computer glitched out. Whenever I click record, it just says 00:00 and stops. No filled storage pop up. Nothing. And I've searched for a long time to answers to both of these, but to no avail. SO ANNOYING.
