Hello,

I have recently been experiencing a gauntlet of PC problems that has seemed to have no end.

It all started with me making the terrible mistake of letting a bad fan sit for over a year.

Flash forward to a couple weeks ago, and I believe the CPU thermal paste finally wore out, causing incessant crashing following startup.

I had to replace the fan, thermal paste, AND battery before I was finally able to get my PC to work again. But I did it, and it ran successfully.

However...

After trying my luck playing a video game at the start of this week, I experienced a NASTY crash and am now being plagued by boot loop issues.

No solution I have tried so far to restore my PC has worked!

Windows boot manager, USB recovery drives, and even SupportAssist OS Recovery are ALL failing to load and freezing.

I am quite desperate at this point. I want to keep my data. I do not want to send it to Dell's dungeon. And am wondering if there is any further steps I can take to save it?

All of the hardware on my laptop passes diagnostics. I've tried hard rebooting. Made no difference. Only thing I've yet to try is making a Windows 11 Media Installation USB. Last thing I am planning to do before I give up.

If there is anything I might be missing though, I would really appreciate any and all help!
