    Windows 10 Boot Issues

    We had a power outage yesterday and when I turned my pc on afterwards it won’t go past the blue Windows logo on a black background.

    I have an older laptop so I used it to download and create a Windows 10 Repair/Install Utility and when I try to boot from that drive I just get a blue screen with the mouse cursor.

    Googlfu has failed me thus far. I did disabled secure boot in the bios (after backing up the keys) and changing some other settings to no avail.

    Motherboard: Asus B150M-A, 16GB Ram, Windows 10.
    Not sure what else I can provide for info. If I can’t sort this it myself i’ll be taking it to the place that built it tomorrow. Unfortunately it’s been a good year since they built it.

    Well if you are getting to blue screen your hardware is *probably* fine. If it was hardware you wouldn’t POST.

    Apparently whatever happened fried the OS SSD Drive. The guy had never seen it happen before. Good news it, the machine as setup so all the important data was being stored on my secondary drive so huzzah!
    Also, it was under warranty so no charges so far.
