Hey everyone, so I had a bit of a freakout moment with my PC. I was just trying to close Roblox and out of nowhere, I get a blue screen. Now, every time I turn it on, it just boots straight into the MSI BIOS. I've tried a few things but it doesn't seem to help. I did the flash booting, but it shows that my C drive is empty. Am I totally cooked here? And any ideas what caused this mess? I have Malwarebytes Premium installed, but I'm still worried it could be a virus or something worse.

To get a better idea of what's going on, you should look for dump files from that blue screen. If you can boot into Windows or Safe Mode, go to C:WindowsMinidump and see if there are any files there. You can zip them and upload them to a file sharing site for analysis. Having multiple dump files helps a lot in figuring out what's wrong.
It sounds like your hard drive might be toast. If it's showing up as empty, there's a good chance you lost your data. I wouldn't get your hopes up too high about recovering anything. Just make sure to back up important stuff in the future!
Yeah, that's such a bummer. My GPU was overheating and I ignored the signs. Thought Malwarebytes had my back, but it clearly didn’t. At least you didn't lose anything too critical, right? Just keep an eye on your passwords.
