Black screen displaying a blue wheel
Black screen displaying a blue wheel
The issue began yesterday when I couldn't shut down my PC using the standard method. I had to press the power button repeatedly. Now the system starts with a black screen and a blue wheel. All devices were disconnected. I entered repair mode, ran bootrec.exe commands and sfc /scannow. Attempted system restore from cloud and local sources, but it failed. I also tried the startup repair, but it didn't work.

start from the bios and verify if the time and date are accurate.
if they don’t match, locate and replace the motherboard battery backup.
typically a 2032 battery lasts around five years.
the i7-6800k was released in 2016, so this might be an outdated system where a failing battery could erase the CMOS data and trigger such a boot issue.
