I've been dealing with a frustrating issue where my computer keeps restarting in an endless loop, showing the 'preparing automatic recovery' screen. The other night, it reset on its own, and after following the usual advice online, I did a fresh install of Windows. It seemed to work well for about a day, but then I hit the cycle again. I thought maybe the problem was my SSD, so I tried booting from a USB, but I'm still stuck in this loop. I've even removed the SSD and messed with the boot sequence and updated my motherboard BIOS, but nothing seems to help. I'm really unsure if this is a software glitch or a hardware failure. I've also tried using a single RAM stick in different slots, but that didn't change anything. My specs are Ryzen 3600x, Aorus X570 Elite Wifi, 7900xtx, and 16GB of RAM.

It sounds like a hardware issue to me. Sometimes swapping out components is the best way to troubleshoot. I had a bad AMD CPU once that was out of warranty, and switching components helped me pinpoint the problem.
Just to clarify, when you tried booting from the USB, it still went into a loop? You can try running Command Prompt from the Windows Recovery USB. In there, type 'chkdsk /f' and see if that helps.
Make sure you have backups of your data before changing BIOS settings or disk setups. It's easy to lose important files during these processes. Always a good idea to back up first!
