I've been dealing with a really annoying boot loop problem on my Windows 11 system. A few weeks ago, I started seeing repeated messages like "startup repair, solving disk errors: might take an hour to complete," and then it would just restart, often leading to a BSOD. After three days of trying to fix it, I had to format my system, back up my data, and do a fresh install of Windows 11. It took me another 2-3 days to set everything up with all my drivers and software. But now, the same issue has come back! I'm getting BSOD messages saying, "we couldn't start your PC, we'll restart it for you." I've tried startup repair from both a USB flash drive and the SSD, but I keep running into the same disk solving error. I'm extremely tired of repeating this cycle and worried that even fresh installs won't solve the problem. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Before you do anything drastic, make sure you’re testing your backups. Changes to BIOS or disk settings might lead to data loss, so ensure everything is safe first. Once that's settled, you might want to check out FAQs on boot issues for Windows 11 for more tailored advice.
It sounds like your SSD might be failing. Sometimes, issues like these can also stem from something you're installing, but that’s rare. Are you sure your PC isn't losing power or crashing unexpectedly? If you’re not using a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), it might be a good idea to get one. Also, ensure your SSD is set to the default cache settings—don't disable buffer flushing in device manager or the SSD software.
Have you been able to collect any dump files from the BSOD? Those crash logs can really help in diagnosing the issue. If you can boot into Windows normally or through Safe Mode, look for the C:WindowsMinidump folder and check if there are any files there. You can zip that folder and upload it to a file sharing site for further analysis. If you only have one dump file, that’s fine, but it’s better to have multiple.
