I'm having a really frustrating issue with my PC. It randomly blue screened yesterday while I wasn't doing anything - no programs or games open. After restarting, I saw a message saying "reboot and select proper boot device." I tried resetting the boot order in BIOS, and I could get past the login screen for a moment, but it blue screened again when I tried to open a Notepad file. Now, I can't even get past the login screen; all I see is an orange screen with the wrong time displayed. I thought it might be a hard disk issue, so I tried booting from a different one, but the same problem occurred. I even replaced the motherboard battery, yet nothing changed. What do you think could be causing this? I'm really in need of help here!

It sounds like you're hitting a tough spot with those blue screens! Have you tried to get any crash dump files? They can really help pinpoint the issue. If you manage to get into Windows, check for minidump files in C:WindowsMinidump. If you find any, zip them up and upload them somewhere like Catbox or Mediafire. More dump files mean better analysis, so if you have more than one, that's great! Just make sure to follow the guide to configure Windows for creating small memory dumps if necessary! Good luck!
I couldn't get into Windows at all, unfortunately. I think that's part of the problem!
