Hi! My pc keeps bootlooping when I start it. It only gets to the Lenovo logo, then says “reset system” and shuts down. Moments later, it reboots and does the same thing. The only way I can access windows is to press f12 and select the ssd.
Laptop: Ideapad 3 15IAU7.

It could be a good idea to use the warranty

Possibly a corrupt BIOS. Consult Lenovo.

Can I just reinstall the bios through windows? I feel like that’s gonna work

You can't boot without the BIOS. @spare schooner

I'd do this: Take out the drive, put it in an enclosure fitting for it (either 2.5" SSD or an NVMe enclosure)

Plug it into another PC and see if the files are readable and transfer out the important bits.

If the SSD is "fine", you got two options; open up a support ticket with Lenovo and send it in with the laptop and have it replaced or reinstall Windows on the SSD and pray it will work for a long time without bit rot.
