System fails to start Windows, reinstallation not possible.
System fails to start Windows, reinstallation not possible.
So let me simplify this for you. A few months back, my computer stopped working properly and kept restarting endlessly. After a reset, I managed to log into Windows but it crashed again soon after. Eventually, I couldn't access the system at all. I tried fixing everything—replacing RAM, CPU, GPU, SSD, etc.—but nothing helped. Eventually, I had to repair Windows, but whenever I tried to do that, the screen would flash and nothing would happen. I even reinstalled Windows 32-bit, but it kept failing with error codes like 0xc0000359. When I switched to 64-bit, it loaded files quickly but then looped back. After changing the USB drive to the new motherboard, things got worse: the system would crash on the motherboard and show a corrupted screen. Feeling exhausted, I took my PC to a repair shop hoping they could diagnose the problem. They confirmed it was a motherboard issue. I returned with the new board, swapped it in, and tried installing Windows again. The same problems appeared—SSD errors, boot loops, and corruption. I even tried a fresh USB drive for Windows 10, but it didn’t fix anything. Now I’m wondering if they misled me about checking my CPU or RAM. Should I consider returning the whole thing and starting over? I’ve owned this machine since early 2020, so it’s still covered under warranty. Just added a link to my PC build for reference.
Similar to USB or hard drive problems? I checked the USB device recently and bought a fresh one just then, but the same issue persists.
It seems you're facing a situation where your current setup lacks extra space. You have both an SSD and an HDD, but removing them hasn't worked. Whether you need to purchase a new drive depends on your specific needs and budget. Consider what you require for storage and whether upgrading one component might suffice.
We're not certain, but we might need to replace the drive. If your CPU includes built-in graphics, consider starting without the GPU to check if that resolves the issue.
