My brother's laptop has been doing this. I've done a clean install of windows already and it's still happening.

So can you load the bios?

#

Yes I can.

#

I can mash F2 to get into bios just fine

1 ssd

#

So it might be the ssd... You could replace that

#

I mean, they're not expensive so you could try that.

It was able to boot yesterday before my brother handed it to me to fix it

#

But windows said it couldn't boot, needed recovery so that's why I'm trying

#

But today, this happened

#

Wait so it got the blue screen saying recovery?

#

Your PC couldn't load correctly?

#

I mean, an SSD is the most likely thing I can think of

#

Yes but at least it was able to load before this happened

looked similar to my "Xiaoxin Air 13 Pro"
That computer was operating fine (gave to my grandmother) until it doesn't. When I pulled it back and disassembled the SSD is fine since I put it in enclosure and it worked and the computer doesnt work even if I put a known-good SSD in it. Turns out the main-board SSD-controller thingy have exploded
Top-tier lenovo quality
