Hey, I’m having a problem with my desktop PC and I can’t get it to boot.

When I turn it on, it shows “Preparing Automatic Repair”, then goes to a black screen and stays there forever. No login screen, nothing.

What I’ve tried so far:

Forced shutdown multiple times

Checked RAM placement (using correct DIMM slots)

Tried booting again multiple times

No USB devices connected

Current situation:

Fans and lights turn on normally

No error messages, just tuck on spinning circles

Automatic repair never actually loads (just black screen with no response)

Questions:

Is this more likely a Windows corruption or hardware issue?

Could it be the SSD/RAM failing?

Anything else I should try before reinstalling Windows?

Any help would be appreciated 🙏
