Soldato
A few days ago i got my first BSOD in 2 years. When it rebooted, it told me there was no boot drive installed. I turned it off and walked away and when i came back it seemed to have sorted itself out, although it forced through an update i had been ignoring.
Tonight i had fired up Warzone and it BSOD. Same thing, on restart it forced through an update but said it had failed. It loaded into windows but the start menu wouldnt work at all.
I followed a few guides, did the DSIM health check and health repair and they each said they werent able to repair the issues. An hour or so of tinkering trying to manually run each part of the DSIM and some parts are successful and others not.
In any case the result is that it continues to say theres no boot drive, and if i manually select a different partition of that drive it will boot into windows, except it gets to desktop and just flashes white, threatening me with a seizure, and cannot be interacted with (the mouse moves around but cant click and no desktop icons show).
Other things i cant do:
Repair windows from a USB Media Tool
Reset Windows from a USB Media Tool
SO i found a spare SSD in an external caddy and installed windows on that, hoping to at least be able to boot into a working version of windows (which works btw, so i assume my memory etc are working fine). The plan was to pull off all my personal files from te original M.2 SSD thats not working, but i cannot see it in this new external install, though i can see my other data drive.
Literally any suggestions welcome. Im worried the M.2 is shot and ive lost everything, and have a new Samsung 970 on the way to try and do... anything.
