I was fixing a friend's computer but accidentally damaged it too 😅
I was fixing the computer of a friend. It was strange—blue screens and graphical issues, but no solid crashes. I had already wiped the NVMe SSD and securely erased it. After moving it into his PC, it wouldn’t boot at all. Even without the SSD, it still won’t start. No blue screens appear. I’m unsure if the SSD is broken or if it’s affecting the motherboard. I’ve ordered a replacement tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’m worried the GPU might be damaged too if I keep using it. Anyone know what’s going on?
Could the other SSD have disrupted the UEFI setup? It seems it might have redirected booting to your friend's partitions. Did you manage to enter BIOS and possibly reset CMOS? Installing Windows should likely fix the issue. It’s improbable an SSD malfunction caused the problem, so avoid further changes.
I started with my SSD and booted into Windows using my old PC. Ended up in Windows 11 even though the machine didn’t meet the necessary criteria for that version.
