I've tried loading the wallet into another computer with bitcoin core...it worked but for some reason I only have .053 bitcoin on that wallet. I should have the amount shown in the imgur link.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you fully synced? If you are not synced, it won't show the entire balance.

If you have the "No block source available" error, then you need to start Bitcoin Core with the -reindex option and let it reindex which can take a while.

I'm not sure I see a -reindex option when running it.

Do I do it from command prompt?

Do you happen to know how?

Cheers

Read https://achow101.com/2016/07/Bitcoin-Core-Troubleshooting#windows-startup. The startup option is -reindex.

Hi there, download bootstrap.dat and place it in ~/.bitcoin. After loading Bitcoin Core, it will begin importing blocks from disk. Also you can to use the command line to extract the private keys from Bitcoin Core. Unless you're going to wait for the blocks to be synchronized from the beginning, export the private keys, import them to Electrum, go to the Send tab in amount hit key and send to one of your Electrum addresses. Make sure you have written seed properly in paper and in a safe place.
Wish you success.

No. Do not use the bootstrap.dat. The download will take a long time and is unnecessary.

I deleted my logs because someone from a similar post recommended it. Now I only have half the bitcoins in my wallet I'm suppose to , but I did all the math from my transaction section and I should have .127 not .04 , any ideas?

There is absolutely no reason someone would recommend you to delete your logs. They have nothing to do with this issue, and in fact have made diagnosing the problem worse.

Have you done the reindex? I believe that will solve your issue with the "no block source available" message. For this issue, you may need to rescan, but do the reindex first. Instructions are in an earlier post.

Okay , fixed the balance issue , but now I have a transaction that originally caused this whole problem that says 0/unconfirmed, in memory pool. But it's said that for like 2 days now

Find the transaction in your transaction list and right click it. Then choose "abandon transaction". If that option is not available, then start Bitcoin Core with the -zapwallettxes option.
