Hello all, so i've got a strange one.
my motherboard has a bios Flashback and a CMOS reset button on the back of it, and in the proccess of inserting a USB today i bumped 1 or both of those buttons, which caused a cycle of reboots and blue screens.
I got impatient with this so I flipped the power on the powersupply, let it breath for 30 seconds and flipped it back on, well it booted back up to desktop like normal, and i try to run a game, well the game launches but hard crashes to desktop immediatly.
try another game, same thing, try a third same thing.
i delete a game and redownload it, launch it, able to run it and play it. apps like discord and geforce crash continuiously even after reinstall
so im thinking to myself: "well something corrupted the disk and I need to reinstall windows" I dont have a flash drive or a boot disc readily available tonight to make a boot media out of.
so windows 11 has this new feature where you can "reset your PC" and wipe the hard drive to a clean windows install, So I try that and it downloads and caches what i presume is a windows 11 installer, and it resets my computer, on the reset I get a BSOD which triggers another reset and loads back into windows like nothing happend
so at this point im throwing in the towel for the night, i'll go to the store tomorrow and pickup a flash drive to make a windows 11 boot disc with,
but i wanted to post this here for a sanity check to see if you guys think im on the right track or not.
i have a ROG motherboard (idk the exect model)with my main disk being an m.2 where my OS is installed,
and a 1 TB ssd for storage attached as an extension.
