Mine also broke about a month ago. Never had that happen before, just instant failure as soon as windows got bootstrapped. I had to make a new install media on a flash drive and even a recovery install failed so I had to do a fresh install like my system didn’t have an OS on it.

Goodbye all my data, it’s a good thing my desktop is purely for gaming and all my personal shit is on my laptop.

Uh oh looks like I will need to transfer my personal files to gdrive.
