Whenever I start my PC, I'm faced with a frustrating blank blue screen—not the BSOD! I can only get into the BIOS by pressing ESC repeatedly, and eventually, it lets me log in, but it's super annoying. I also tried running the SFC command, but it didn't work. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

It sounds like your computer isn't booting properly. When you power it on, do you only see that blue screen without any other messages? You might want to check your BIOS boot order to ensure your main drive is set as the first boot device. If it is and you're still getting that blue screen, it could mean your drive is failing or the data is scrambled. Since SFC didn't work for you, have you tried running DISM commands? They can help fix corrupted files. Also, running the memory diagnostic command (MDSCHED) could be beneficial because flaky memory can cause weird issues.
I had a similar issue before! It was really annoying, but once I figured it out, I was relieved. If you're only seeing a blue screen without any messages when booting up, it could be your boot drive that's having problems. You mentioned SFC didn't finish and DISM errors—those definitely indicate something wrong with your system files or drive. Scheduling a CHKDSK might help clear up issues with your hard drive. Give that and MDSCHED a try to check your memory too!
