Automated fix cycle
Hello, I see you're having issues with your PC. It seems like it's stuck in a repair loop despite cleaning the drive, CPU, and socket. The shutdown happens randomly during Windows installation, and the SSD isn't reading properly—only legacy mode is active. You mentioned you're in South Africa and don’t have funds to replace parts. Let me know how I can assist further.
Your SSD seems to have an issue. It’s recommended to use UEFI with Windows 10 or 11. You might try installing an older SATA HDD and setting up Windows there. After installation, you can check your SSD. Good luck!
The process began by changing the thermal paste, then the CPU was exposed. After replacing the paste, I powered it on and noticed an automatic repair cycle. I suspected a corrupt boot key preventing access to the command prompt. I reformatted the drive and continued with the repair. Cleaning the CPU helped if any residue remained. Once the repair completed, I booted from USB using Windows, but it shut down unexpectedly. I reinserted the SSD, and now it only recognizes it when connected to an older system.
