    Hi

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    From your description, your problem may be caused by hardware failure. You can try the following steps.

    1. Try to enter safe mode to see if it still exists.

    2. Reinsert your memory and hard disk to see if it may be caused by loose hardware.

    3. Execute the system repair command and scan for hardware problems.

    Right-click the Windows key,and then left-click the Windows Terminal (admin) option. Press the Enter key after each command:

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    sfc /scannow

    Also perform a hard disk scan. If you want to scan your system disk, for example, your hard disk is C, you can enter the following command.

    chkdsk c: /f

    Keep us posted if you encounter any challenges along the process.
