TL;DR: pc froze, I pressed reset button, now windows will not start.
Today was a busy day. I started with cleaning my pc with a paintbrush. After that I packed in my pc into the case's box (corsair) to visit my friend's. The pc seemed to work fine, only it had some network issues but it seemed like it was fixed after a while. So we just started playing cs:go. after about 10 minutes my cs:go (and whole pc) froze. So I pressed the reset/reboot button on the case... I guess I won't be doing that again. (I am sorry for the background story, but I thought it might help solve the problem.)
When I rebooted the system it said ''prepairing automatic repair'' and ''diagnosing your pc''.
then I get into the automatic repair menu.
Now I've tried about everything that the recovery menu offers. I can't boot windows into safe mode, and none of the other startup settings had any effect either. I haven't been able to get into the bios yet, but I'm not sure what I would have to change in there anyway.
I haven't made a back-up because I only have one drive (ssd) in my system and don't have any other drives. It's not the end of the world to lose everything, but of course it's nice to keep everything the way it was.
Is my system bricked? Is it necessary for me to do a clean windows install? I'd really love some help getting my system to work again. Maybe i can do something in the bios? maybe something with command prompt (although i haven't managed to get either of them working yet...)
