Recently, my PC stopped working while playing a game and has been stuck since then, unable to boot into Windows 11. At startup, I see a BIOS menu, then a brief load before another screen appears saying "Preparing automatic repair." After that, it restarts automatically. Occasionally, after several attempts, the blue troubleshooting options become visible, but none seem to fix the problem. They suggested updating the BIOS and reinstalling Windows. I updated the BIOS successfully, but when I choose the SSD from the boot menu, it keeps restarting into the repair loop. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you.

in troubleshooting mode, did you launch an admin CLI and run: powercfg -h off? it might be a problematic hibernation\fastboot file that’s completely broken and causes your system to crash during boot because it attempts to load the corrupted hibernated OS. alternatively, try powercfg /h off.

The SSD could be faulty. Consider emptying it, performing a secure erase, or using the Windows USB tool (repair disk) to fix the installed operating system.

I’d begin by testing a brand new SSD or HDD to determine if that improves your situation. Install a fresh Windows Media Creation Tool ISO onto a USB drive and check if it installs successfully. If it does, the original drive is likely corrupted. You might also try another computer to generate a newer Windows Media Creation Tool ISO for your storage device. Before installing, ensure you erase the existing drive. Download the complete setup onto the removable drive rather than just using it as a path. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, especially with a SATA SSD or M.2 drive, consider switching to a different SATA port or slot. If none of this works, I’d suggest reseating the CPU, as sometimes a faulty contact causes similar problems. Good luck!
