Built a month or 2 ago. Weird windows 11 booting issue.
So like the title says I built a month ish ago and everything been working fine. A couple days ago I brought my new computer and sim racing stuff over to a friend’s house. We played for like 6 hours and everything worked fine the whole time. Brought it home pretty late and set everything back up the next morning and got into the Lock Screen. Pressed something on my keyboard to go to put in password and it froze. I restarted computer and then it blue screened with frowny face. At first I didn’t fully freak out bc it’s happened before usually fixed with a restart or something easy but nothing worked. Because the computer is so new all I have are games so I just bit the bullet and decided to wipe the drive and redownload windows but even that didn’t work and I either end up somewhere with a blue screen or in a constant booting cycle. At one point I was able to get into the actual new windows setup process (after installing to your drive and moving to that instead of usb) but it acted like my computer didn’t have WiFi drivers or like I need to install them when that wasn’t an issue before. My antennas are attached still. So right now I’m kind of screwed on booting my computer and believe it or not my buddy just ordered a racing setup after having so much fun on mine so I need to get it back to working order ASAP lmao. Please let me know if you have any tips or questions that could help me get to the root issue. Really hope it’s not hardware related but because it started happening right after that trip in the car I’m a little worried. Thanks for any help I can get!
