So my pc was running fine last night, I got up this morning and turned my pc on and when it gets to the lock screen where I enter my password, the frames drop to <1fps, it sits on that screen for about a minute, it restarts and just starts looping. I tried re seating my ram/gpu to see if that was the issue but no luck. I have a Ryzen 3700x, ASRock b450 mobo, RX 5700 xt thicc III and 16G of gskill trident z ram.

i would do an offline security scan using a usb. you can also create latest win10 install media using Windows Media Creation Tool to usb and boot off that and try a repair.

if nothing else works, clean install from usb
I tried running the offline security scan, when I booted to the flash drive I got an error message saying "unable to detect windows system drive. This could be due to missing drivers, an encrypted drive or a corrupted windows Installation."

Is my next best path to just do a clean install?

try doing a custom win10 install and choose to delete all partitions on the windows drive. then click new and let windows install clean
