After turning off my PC, it refuses to boot into Windows and just shows a black screen following the BIOS. I've tried resetting it three times and even reinstalled Windows locally, but still no luck. I can access BIOS and Safe Mode, and I attempted a keyboard shortcut to reset the graphics driver without success. I've enabled alternate startup as well, but I'm feeling pretty lost here. Any suggestions?

If you're only using integrated graphics, you might want to test with a dedicated graphics card. You can try removing your graphics card and booting up with the integrated graphics to see if that makes a difference. If you already have a dedicated card installed, like a 3060, it's worth checking if integrated graphics work by temporarily removing it.
I saw that you're getting a specific error about C:WindowsSystem32LogFilesSrt after resetting three times. This usually indicates a boot-up error. The USB method might help you repair the boot issue. It could stem from corrupted system files or driver issues, so definitely try a boot repair. Just curious, do you have any important files on your drive? Is your OS on a different drive from your games and other stuff?
Have you heard any beeps when you try to boot? Depending on your motherboard, it might have an onboard speaker that gives beep codes for troubleshooting. Also, you could try creating a bootable USB drive with Windows using Rufus. Just remember to adjust the boot order in BIOS so that it recognizes the USB first. This could lead you to a recovery or repair option.
