Boot Loader*, I'm fairly sure I need to rebuild that. I've found a solid step by step guide from CyberCPU Tech, so I guess that's the only path forward atm, although when I've tried to re-install I get "The Installation was cancelled, any changes made to your computer won't be saved", but if I go look at the drive, changes were definitely made to the drive? This always happens at the very end of the installation, that's why I think it's boot related. There's a 0x800701B1 error that points that direction too, although it can indicate numerous issues.
I'm starting to suspect this is just another Samsung EVO failure. I guess that's why you should list specs at the top. I'm finding reports from other people who have had their PC's shutdown in similar fashion from a power loss or while Windows is still shutting down, that are experiencing similar issues that were solved with a new m.2 drive. I kinda thought that would be the lazy way out, so I troubleshot first, but now I'm starting to think I'm wasting my time.
