Hi, everything seemed normal until this evening. After a couple of months of using the PC, I powered it off and moved it upstairs. When I reconnected it, it wouldn’t boot and the fan spiked to maximum after a short while—like a jet engine. I’ve checked the RAM, GPU, and CMOS battery, but nothing seems to be fixed. What could be causing this issue?

Interesting situation! Checked the CMOS battery upstairs and it was the same problem. Moved it back up and tried again—still got a BSOD with stop code INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. Startup Repair didn’t help, but safe mode worked. After a full restart, the PC is now running again. Quite odd!

It seems you're suggesting you should reposition your storage unit.

I agree you were right. When I moved my PC upstairs, I planned to switch my GPU, RAM, and SSD to another system, but that setup didn<|pad|>'s PSU lacked an 8-pin port for the GPU. I returned it to the Z210 and followed your instructions to reinsert the storage, which resolved the issue. It's nice to get it clearer now.
