PC experienced a crash and could not start the SSD or recovery USB drive.
It's quite unusual. While working on a CAD design, my PC crashed and displayed a BSOD. After rebooting, it didn't start properly. I checked the BIOS, tried to access the USB via recovery, but nothing loaded. The SSD seemed fine, and the extra HDD wasn't installed. Everything worked on the installation USB, but not when plugged into the laptop. No storage was detected on the USB. I'm unsure if it's the SSD or something else. Any ideas?
Windows offers a repair feature in a minimal installation mode. Have you considered changing the RAM slots or using just one stick if you have two 8GB modules?
The bios update didn't work as expected. Consider attempting a CMOS reset if needed, or it likely restored the system to default settings.
