Hey everyone, I'm at my wit's end here. I recently built my PC about three months ago, and now I'm facing the dreaded blue screen of death with an error code stating "inaccessible boot device." I've gone through my checklist, and I'm almost certain that Windows files are corrupted or something similar, but I can't seem to fix it. Startup repair isn't working, and I've tried creating bootable USB drives using different methods including the Windows creation tool and Rufus, but they all lead to a loading screen that never progresses. I've also double-checked the BIOS settings to make sure the boot order is correct and that legacy and safe boot options aren't enabled. I'm really stuck and just want to get my PC back in working order!

Just so you know, the blue screen of death pretty much means your system is done for. It can be serious, so don’t lose hope but prepare for the worst.
To really get to the bottom of your blue screen issue, we need those dump files. If you can manage to get into Windows or even Safe Mode, head over to C:WindowsMinidump and look for any crash dump files there. If you find some, zip them up and upload them to a file sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. If you only have one or none, that’s okay—just upload what you have and follow a guide to change the dump configuration to Small Memory Dump. It’ll help us narrow down the diagnostic.
Have you checked if your SSD might be the problem? It could have failed. If you have access to another SSD, try swapping it out and see if that resolves the issue!
Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I might just throw everything out and start fresh with a new build. Sometimes it's just not worth the hassle, right?
