Question My laptop is stuck in a "Please select boot device" menu after I got a bsod.

[Random_Kabyle]

After I got a bsod boot device menu appeared but when I chose an option it glitches a bit and it comes back.
Here is the menu
Device :
Lenovo ideapad 2 in 1 14
CPU : ryzen 7 8845hs
Ram : 16gigs of Lpddr5x
Storage : 1 ssd of 512
OS : Windows 11

Sounds like a faulty/dead/disconnected drive to me.

BIOS access happens before drive access.

BIOS access happens before drive access.

What's the solution then?

What's the solution then?

Boot from some other media...Linux LiveUSB or Windows install.
See if the drive is visible.

The "solution" may be to replace the physical drive.

So within 5 months of use the drive is already fried 😭

Is there another way I can send them?

I can see the image just fine..

I have a convertible Lenovo laptop that does that every once in a while. If that happens, I usually go to the BIOS, reset all settings, and then set the SSD as the boot drive manually again.

It might be just dumb luck, but it works 90% of the time. It's one of those moments where "It works, but I don't know why it works". YMMV and all that of course.

How do you set the ssd as the boot drive? in the boot order menu?

Yes.

Enter the BIOS. Locate the Boot menu.

Set the SSD or Windows Boot Manager as the first boot device (usually it needs to be at the top of the list).

Save the settings and exit.

Keep fingers crossed.

I've tried everything and it's still stuck so I downloaded Windows 11 with a bootable flash drive and everything seems to work again except for the driver of the WiFi card, the latter caused me too much trouble in the past so u think it may be the cause of the "boot loop"
