When you mention a "blue screen" in Windows, it typically refers to that issue. Could you clarify if you meant to ask about entering Safe Mode? You can follow the instructions on the linked page for details.

Turn off the PSU switch on the back of the PC. Disconnect it. Press the front power button to remove any leftover power. Wait a few minutes then reconnect the PSU, turn the switch on. Press the front power button again. If needed, try the repair option. It might also help to set the BIOS to optimized defaults and check if that resolves the issue. Consider testing with another drive or SSD to identify the problem source.

I'll attempt it, but I'm unsure about the consequences of entering safe mode.

First, check your ability to proceed. Success suggests the problem could relate more to the driver or operating system rather than the hardware. Consider arranging a disk check if it functions in Safe Mode.

This seems like a quick verification. If you can't enter Safe Mode, there might be an issue with the Windows setup or storage. If you manage to reach Safe Mode, the problem likely lies in the installation process, so save any important files and reinstall Windows.

This brought me back to the old auto repair error screen, but it didn't work.

Consider using another machine to connect the operating system drive and back up the files you wish to preserve. Without access to another device, many Linux distributions offer live environments that make this process easier. Alternatively, the installation might be faulty, so it could require a fresh start. If that fails, the storage device is probably faulty. Make sure the installation media itself is a verified, functional version.

It seems like Windows might be the issue right now. I tried restarting and plugging in the USB, but it kept showing the auto repair screen. Custom mentioned the drive wasn’t formatted properly. I’m not worried about losing data—just need a functioning computer.

No, I haven't tried any USB flash drives yet.

It's happened to others too. I needed to replace my hard drive and install a new Windows version.
