Windows 10 installation rebooted without warning. Since then been stuck in a bootloop

[chemeleon]

Hi. Recently, my windows 10 installation rebooted without warning. Since then, I have been stuck in a bootloop with the occasional BSOD, one about a whea_uncorrectable_error and the latest one complaining of a machine_check_exception. I can't boot into a bootable windows 10 usb as the problem remains, but I can boot into some Linux distributions which run fine and stable (slitaz is the one I'm using at the moment, and it doesn't complain of any errors).

I've run mem test, unplugged unnecessary peripherals, checked to see if my cpu or mb is overheating which it isn't, and reset my bios settings to their defaults. I'm at a loss as to what is causing this. If anyone can think of reason why this is ocurring or anything I could do in Linux to diagnose this problem better it'd really help.

whea errors are hardware errors, the other one is closely related to whea... you need to check your hardware is what its saying.

its odd the installer won't work

Did you try to wipe the disk where the installation takes place?

Well, it appears to be fixed. I reseated my motherboards own brand WiFi dongle and removed a usb Bluetooth dongle and that seemed to do the trick. Not sure why it was creating BSODs of that magnitude. I am just happy I have my PC back. Thanks everyone!

It is common. I remember someone here having similar problems. His system crashed every time he tried to play a full screen mode game. Turns out it was his headphones that caused the kernel to crash.
