A couple days ago my computer took a long time to start up. Usually takes a couple of seconds since I have windows on an m.2 ssd. This time it took more than a minute to boot. Next day it no longer boots at all. Brings up a black screen with a cursor, but crtl+alt+dlt does nothing so I can't use command prmt. Have tried using a USB with windows media creator to make a boot ssd to reinstall windows after all attempt to fix the problem failed via the advanced start up options. When using boot ssd I get message that says im missing a critical driver or some crap, says missing
File: \windows\System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys
Error code: 0x0000221
Also Bios still takes quite a while to load. I made sure all my cable are plugged in tightly. Ran windows memory diagnostics tool from boot USB and it says that hardware problems are detected. I have no clue what the problem could be except maybe some problem with the mobo based on long bios start up which should be independent of windows as far as I know.

Update: Updated my bios and I now get a message saying a critical driver is missing but it is different
File: \windows\System32\Drivers\ReFS.sys
Also at this point after updating my Bios the system monitor says all my disks are detected but none are available in the boot order and it will not boot from them, so from what I can tell the error has to be with the installation media. I downloaded the installation software from microsoft's official site.
