Long story short, I tried playing a few games which at first gave me "bad image" errors. I reinstalled Windows 10, fixed it. Tried launching Far Cry 5, got another error relating to system32. Rebooted PC, everything was slow (couldn't even open programs or the . Reset it about 4 more times and now I'm caught in a boot loop. Every time I try to launch, I get sent straight to automatic repair, but it can never diagnose the problem. So I no longer even have access to Windows 10. I have an SSD with Windows 7 that I'm currently using to try and fix the problem. I checked the logfile in system32 of my drive with Windows 10 on it, and here's what it says about the diagnosis

What I'm getting from this is it didn't even try to diagnose the problem.

Someone please help because my 2TB drive with Windows 10 has a lot of games and software for work. I already had to "reset" the OS before, causing all my "apps and settings" to be removed.

Yep that's what I thought. I was finally able to launch the task manager and found the disk usage was up at 100% for about an hour and a half. It's lower now, but I guess I'll find a new 1-2TB and transfer everything. Thanks!
