My PC Keeps Crashing and Stuck in Automatic Repair Loop, Any Fixes?
Asked by

I've been having a frustrating issue with my PC crashing unexpectedly. Sometimes it happens after I've been using it for a while, but it crashes more frequently when I'm playing Fortnite. When it crashes, the PC freezes for about a minute before turning off and attempting to restart, only to get stuck in an automatic repair loop. If I try to continue to Windows 11, it just remains stuck in that loop. The only way I can get it to work again is by powering it off using the switch on the back of the unit.
I've tried a few things to troubleshoot: the event viewer indicates an unexpected shutdown, my graphics card and CPU aren't overheating, and I've tested the memory with no issues. I even cleaned both the CPU and the graphics card to remove dust, and I've updated my BIOS to the latest version, so I don't think that's causing the problem. Is there anything else I should check?

Have you undervolted your CPU? Sometimes that can cause stability issues, or it could just be that your SSD is starting to fail if it's a bit older.

Have you checked the health of your SSD? If you're using an NVMe SSD, I had a similar problem where my PC was stuck in the automatic repair loop, and I couldn't access Safe Mode. I ended up getting a new M.2 NVMe SSD, and it resolved the problem after transferring my files over.
TechWhizKid89: Both my SSDs are NVMe, so I'm not sure if that's the issue.

TechWhizKid89: The oldest SSD is around 3-4 years old. Could it really be that?
