Black Screen on Windows 10 Boot after game crashing(even in safe mode)
Hi everyone!
A couple of days ago I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 and it crashed a couple of times, I kinda fixed that by lowering the graphics, but then it crashed again and froze up my entire laptop. It wasn't overheated, I kept extra ventilation on. I forced it to shut down and ever since then I'm getting infinite black screen on boot after the MSI logo. After each 2-3 restarts I could access the blue screen with different options, such as Safe Mode. But booting the Safe Mode also ends up either in endless black screen or endless MSI logo.
I've tried fixing it with different cmd commands suggested online and Windows standard troubleshooting options from the blue screen. No luck. My Windows is installed on SSD. I've made a partition on my HDD and installed another Windows 10 there, it works absolutely fine if I choose it, but the old one still doesn't. I couldn't go into the SSD's directory in command prompt for a while, got a lot of "Access denied" stuff, but when I got into Windows and changed the security settings for the drive it became possible and now I can access everything on the drive. It doesn't seem to be damaged, but it still doesn't show up in BIOS.
I haven't downloaded any files or installed any updates or drivers recently.
I'd rather not reinstall the Windows on SSD but even if there's no other way, can I even be sure it'd help?
I'd be incredibly grateful if anyone could help me with this issue or explain how a game can possibly do this much damage, it's so confusing.
