Windows crashed? would not sleep, so told it to sleep, now no boot
Last night I told it to sleep, I thought maybe related to network sharing I had setup?
It fell silent, fans off.
This am, fans running screen off, move mouse screen wakes showing log in screen, screen blips off and on every few seconds, can not interact with the screen. Keyboard numlock light is on can be turned off and on, nothing though.
So I unplug it and reboot, it tries to start 3 times, reboots, finally goes to the cant start screen and says attempting repairs. That runs for a while, then it reboots, and just a black screen whirling dots now for 30 minutes,
This is a 500gb WD Blue SSD, so what got corrupted?
windows is 2o2h
Do a reinstall?

Get this, it must not completely dead. the network shares are up on this PC, I just went in and opened the share, and modified a text document, so its OS is running. If you wait a while it sleeps, screen goes black. I also just copied a 32gb folder into the 'dead ' pc.

Well, I force reboots with power button 3 times, brought up startup repair, gave it my password, and windows tells me start up repair couldn't repair your PC

Every option so far failing to repair or install!
So I booted the USB install, wiped the partitions, and am reinstalling the OS from the USB now

Did the reinstall, it was good until the light blue screen that says 'Just a moment...' with a large wheeling circle above.
It has sat here now for quite a while.
