Troubleshooting a Recovery Loop and Windows Reinstallation: My Experience

I recently encountered a frustrating predicament with my PC, which became stuck in a recovery loop. After experiencing a blue screen incident following a routine shutdown—without any recent applications or updates installed—I embarked on a journey to resolve the issue.

Initially, everything seemed fine. I played a game and then shut down my PC as usual. However, upon restarting, I was greeted with the Windows recovery screens instead of my desktop. In an attempt to resolve the situation, I opted to reset my PC for a clean slate. Unfortunately, upon re-attempting to start up, I was redirected to the automatic repair screen once more.

Determined to fix the issue, I decided to use a bootable USB to reinstall Windows. I carefully deleted all existing partitions on my drive and began the installation process multiple times. Regrettably, each failed attempt resulted in a frustrating restart loop.

In an effort to find a solution, I made sure to remove the USB drive right before the system performed its first restart after the installation process. This approach seemed promising at first—however, when I attempted to use my older installation format, I encountered a different blue screen error indicating that my PC had failed to boot multiple times. Unable to enter safe mode, I felt increasingly stuck.

I even ventured to manually install Windows onto the boot USB using Command Prompt, but to no avail. As I immerse myself in this problem, I can’t help but feel the weight of my Alienware Aurora, equipped with an NVMe boot drive and a secondary SSD hard drive, where data integrity is paramount.

In the latest twist, after removing the boot drive, the installation would progress up to 33% before abruptly restarting, plunging me back to the dreaded blue recovery screen.

I truly appreciate any insights or assistance from the community to help me navigate this complex situation. If you have suggestions based on similar experiences or know of effective troubleshooting techniques, please share. Thank you!
