Windows failed to start, a recent hardware or software change might be the case

Question

Hello, I am really hoping someone may be able to help me, I recently only encountered this error after changing some settings in my BIOS, I wanted to change my CPU fan Curve which I did, I also enable XMP and turned AMD raid mode on, which I later turned of as I don't think compatibility allowed.

After doing this I now get this error, and the info section says Windows cant located a file that is part of the operating system, something ladled EFI.
If I hit enter on this screen, then select windows 10, it will take me back to the error, however If I then press Enter again, and instead of selecting Windows 10 or Windows memory troubleshooting (which also doesn't work) If I press ESC it will post and take into my windows desktop, however even though this is the case the OS is unstable, for example when I go to play a video game, they system will then either blue screen or completely fail and take me back to the error.

I have installed Windows 10 Media creation on a USB drive, and have booted of off that to access troubleshooting tools and the command prompt, I have tried

bootrec /fixboot will return an access denied so I have to start of with ( bootsect/nt60 sys ) as my first command

Then I entered bootrec .fixmbr (shows as successful)

bootrec /fixboot (shows as successful)

bootrec /scanos (did show one install location however after installing windows again it shows 3 locations, new and old windows and something else.

bootrec /rebuildbcd (originally asks if I want to add installation to boot list, I type A for all and it is successful, however after upgrading windows again with the media creation tool it will say the path cannot be found)

I created a new user in case the user profile was corrupt, I copped everything from old user into the new one except update and Microsoft edge back ups.

I have also tried installing windows again, still get the same error.

There was a gaud i red to do with selecting a disc and then a volume but I had trouble understanding that. There is a CBS log here also, I tried running SFC /scannow however it came back with Windows resource protection could not start the repair service, also tried DISM which did not do anything.

Here is the entire CBS log.

The opening post reported that you can boot but have instability when playing games.

If you can boot then run the V2 log collector and post a share link into this thread using one drive, drop box, or google drive.

If there are instability problems with normal boot then boot into safe mode, safe mode with networking, or safe mode with command prompt:

Boot to the BIOS and post images or share links of settings for:
Legacy
UEFI hybrid (with CSM)
UEFI native (without CSM)

secure boot
XMP

Please turn off:
secure boot
XMP

For share links please use one drive, drop box, or google drive.
