Win10 custom PC stopped booting - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
Just started today. Was able to let it automatic repair and boot up. Was on for like 10 hours, shut down and tried to boot up some hours later. Now its completely stuck on automatic repair. Have unplugged all additional hdd’s and then all unnesscarry USB’s. Still doing this. Also removed my ethernet card. Still the same. I cannot lose my data. I have several SSD’s and HDD’s with important files across several of them.

I dont know what to do. It won’t boot at all now. Just gets stuck on the asus logo. Bad motherboard perhaps? How could I check? Buy a new motherboard and hope it fixes the issue?

    You need to run a checklist from least invasive to most invasive to be sure. Do you have a means to run a liveboot of any random Linux distro to just see whether the system will boot from it? If it does, it’s probably not your motherboard but more likely a damaged drive.
