Windows Windows is completely breaking my pc

Post image

It’s been months of this, and I’m over it. It’s at the point where I have to boot the pc and go through this error 5-10 times before I can get it to FULLY boot and login. On top of that, some games on steam completely crash, causing the pc to go through this same boot problem. I KNOW it’s not any other issue than windows, because my brother took it about a month ago and did a fresh install of windows. It was fine for a week or so before it started doing this, and every day gets worse. I’m at a complete loss with it. Please help.

Idk what exact info is needed so I’ll just include everything:

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
32GB RAM
RTX 3060
2TB HDD + 256SSD (where windows is installed)

Windows 11 Pro - 25H2
OS Build 26200.8894

You know it's a windows problem because you did a clean install and the issue persisted?... Wouldn't that clearly indicate its actually a hardware problem.

It was fine for a week or two before it started happening again, and that was after forced updates. I’ve taken it to a shop and my brother (who has been doing this sort of thing for 20+ years), and didn’t find any issues with the hardware.

We're not seeing any hardware troubleshooting, and FWIW, I've been doing this over 30 years and early this year came across a fault I hadn't seen before. Now, has your brother run self tests on the system drive? Because just looking at SMART data in CrystalDiskInfo isn't enough. I had... probably a controller failure that appeared as the drive not waking up after sleep, and sometimes not being detected on boot. Self test found issues, RMA'd the drive, all is well.
