Hi all,
I accidentally knocked over the power cord of my PC with my foot while it was running. When I plugged it back in and tried to start it, it never got to the Windows Screen. Instead, the motherboard loading screen showed up and spun around for a while, and then it turned black for a second before repeating the process (loading screen showed up over and over again).
I can enter the BIOS successfully without any issues. I looked online for some solutions and I tried unplugging the PSU, holding down the power button for 15 seconds to discharge the battery, and taking out the RAM and putting it back in again. None of this worked and I couldn't get past the motherboard loading splash screen.
Afterwards, I reset the CMOS by both using the jumpers and taking out the battery for 4 hours. This allowed me to get past the motherboard loading screen, but then went straight to a BSOD with the “Unmountable Boot Volume” error. It now enters a new boot loop similar to the last one, but this time it ends with that BSOD.
I then found this (https://www.technipages.com/windows-10-fix-unmountable-boot-volume-error) and tried to boot into a Windows 10 USB I created. It brings me to the first screen where it asks for keyboard, language, and time. I can get to the next screen and click "Repair your computer", but after that I get stuck on a purple screen. It's been like that for over 12 hours now and I'm completely at a loss for what to do.
