So, I left my computer on overnight to take a break from a game. When I woke up, it was stuck on a frozen Windows restart screen. I can access the BIOS settings without any problems, but the system crashes when I try to boot into Windows. I even attempted to reinstall Windows using a USB drive, but it just froze when I selected the drive to load Windows. I've also removed the CMOS battery in hopes of resetting everything, but no luck. Honestly, I don't care about recovering any data at this point; I just want to make my computer usable again. Just to note, I'm running an activated version of Windows 10.

It sounds like you could be dealing with a hardware issue, like a problem with the RAM or motherboard connections. If you feel comfortable, check if all the components are properly seated, and make sure there’s no liquid damage. If you suspect liquid might be involved, look for any signs like corrosion or moisture on the motherboard and components.
Have you tried booting into Safe Mode? Sometimes you can get in there to troubleshoot. If Safe Mode isn't working, see if you can access recovery mode and run a system repair. It might help you get back on track.
