Boot up problem M.2 SSD
Hello.
I recently had an issue with my Windows 10 on my Samsung SSD, it basically just stopped working, and nothing that I did helped, not any repairs from the "Repair your computer" option from an installation media.
So to cut the story short, I reinstalled Windows 10 on my Intel 600P M.2 SSD.
But when I boot up it doesn't seem to know where the OS is. First I get a light blue screen saying that
"Your computer didn't shut down properly" or "Recovery Your computer couldn't start properly"
And I get three options at the bottom: "Enter to try again" "F8 for startup settings" "Esc for UEFI firmware settings"
If I press enter I come to a screen with my motherboard logo and the dots spinning in a circle and then it flashes and the logo is gone but the dots don't disappear, ever.
I usually at this point press down the restart button on my computer case, reboot and press the F8 button so that I can select the M.2 SSD even though it is the first option in the Boot options in BIOS. And then I get this:
I get in the top left corner of the screen a blinking underscore or dash and it keeps changing position as if the resolution is changing during that and then it takes like 10 to 30 seconds and then it puts me on the login screen.
Below is a screenshot of the boot manager if needed.
Anyways I'm looking forward to get this thing sorted out, I have computer experience but this feels like such a labyrinth of madness.
Cheers, Boris :)
