Question BSOD boot loop

[finn1__]

My HP PC continuously reads, ‘preparing automatic repair’ just to be later met by a blue screen with the error code: ‘DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG’. Once my PC automatically restarts this process repeats itself.
I’ve tried pressing f11 when my computer boots to do a system recovery, but i’m then met with another blue screen with the error: ’INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE’.
I’ve also tried looking in my DIOS setup to enable AHCI, but it appears i didn’t have that option.

Pretty much, I can’t factory rest my PC, any hep will be appreciated

you have to install the ahci driver before you change the setting in bios or you will get an inaccessible boot device error.

try and set the bios to the old sata boot mode and reboot and see if it can recognize the drive. If you do not remember, you can just try booting on all of the SATA bios options (generally there are 3)

the error DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG
means that the windows plug and play determined you need a driver, it tries to and install the driver from its list of drivers, if it can not then it tries the internet download location. (depends on where in the boot process the machine is in) if it can not install the driver within a time out period it calls this bugcheck.

in some cases you can copy the driver to a usb thumb drive and install it during the boot process. I would try changing the bios sata mode first and make sure the machine can see the SSD.

it would be a relatively common recovery mistake for the recovery image to be missing a driver that would have been provided by a local copy, (usb drive or CDROM)
