Hi, Vanguard stopped your PC from working properly. You’re having trouble resetting it to factory settings and the advanced repair options aren’t helping. Since you don’t mind losing data (backups are safe), try these steps: restart in safe mode, then boot into recovery or a clean install environment. If that doesn’t work, contact Vanguard support for further assistance.

No problem, just don't need the PC to boot into USB.

I understand you're not very familiar with PCs, and it seems the system encountered an issue while trying to delete your data. It worked fine with your personal information. You're currently resetting now. There might be some risks involved, so it's good you're thinking about this. After the reset, you don't necessarily need to keep everything intact—just make sure you have a backup or understand what will happen.

A simple step to test before proceeding is System Restore. Windows can revert your system safely without impacting your personal files. You may run it independently from the fail menu three times until you notice the message "Automatic startup repair" with white spinning dots. Restarting Windows involves pressing the restart button on your PC or holding the power button until it shuts down while the dot spins. Another option is to boot from a Windows installation USB or disk and choose the "repair" option instead of the Install button in the setup wizard.

You were surprised by the crash right after installing Windows from a USB stick. The error message kept appearing, making you even more upset.

I felt really relieved for a moment... After changing the cable, my PC began working and I immediately installed a graphics driver. Toward the finish, it crashed once more. It attempted to restart itself but the "Windows wasn't loaded correctly" message appeared again. This issue kept happening throughout the entire startup process.

You're likely going to have to reinstall Windows again because the previous setup could have failed due to a faulty SATA cable. I remember doing that too.

I just experienced a complete system failure at the same moment as installing the GPU driver. It seems the GPU might be faulty, so replacing it could be the best solution.
