hey all. my PC was working fine less than a week ago. after road tripping down across the country i went to set it up today and i’m stuck in a boot loop. i have w11 on an M.2. so far what i’ve tried:

taking out CMOS
hard resetting computer
taking out RAM
i’ve tried booting into a W11 bootable USB but i can’t
tried spamming f8 to access safe mode but i can’t
it just gets stuck in a loop.

any advice?

all my hard drives/SSDs/RAM/CPU are working and detected properly by the bios

here’s the thing; i have a bootable w11 installation but even that doesn’t work half the time. either takes too long or goes into the boot loop

#

i’m trying to at least get into CMD to run a couple of commands but can’t

#

it’s fresh too i just did it with rufus
