The boot device LED has been consistently red while the computer has been consistently working fine for a few weeks now, after computer restarted, on boot goes through boot screens and then ends up with a blinking underscore prior to any windows screens.
The operating system is on an SSD which I have been able to access fine for file usage and according to crystaldiskinfo still has plenty of life left in it though it is worth noting the SSD is a good 8 or so years old.
I am in the process of creating a windows installation media to see if windows auto repair does anything.
Had to pop to the shops to get a new flash drive lol.
Am I right in presuming the fault is most likely the motherboard or some corrupted windows files on the SSD?
Thanks.
