It sounds like it can't find your boot drive to boot up from. Can you boot into the BIOS and see if it detects your windows SSD there? If it's not there, it's likely your SSD drive has completely failed.

Double check the boot order, make sure it's set to the SSD first.

Okay, I think you're going to need a Windows USB.

If you don't have one, you can make one from Microsoft.

Windows 10:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

Windows 11:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows11

Boot up with the one that matches your OS, with the Windows USB, you can try using start up repair, system restore, or Command Prompt to repair bad sector issues with your SSD.

The CMD command: chkdsk /f /r

Use this command as well in CMD to scan for corruption in the OS: sfc /scannow

if you need to nuke the OS be sure to have both internet drivers and storage drivers like for me it is intel rapid storage, it's only if you nuke the OS tho a standard formatting should be fine, just hope you don't have any important data in there :x or have cloud storage atleast..

I managed to use the Windows 11 Boot disc Start Up Repair and it booted up into windows randomly after giving the PXE warning again a couple of times, so I opened Command Prompt and used the chkdsk /f /r command and after it booted to the PXE and failed to boot to the USB it started a Disc check at around 4pm yesterday, Its now midday and its still going, the file number s going up but it looks like it could take at least 24 hrs to fix the disc.

That’s some positive news that it’s getting somewhere. As someone mentioned, reformatting may be the quickest way to get it back online, repairing is more important if you want to recover data on it.

The PXE booting is a form of booting via Ethernet network, I’m surprised you had that enabled. Did you buy this pc prebuilt? That might explain it. We use that at work to connect to a windows deployment server to image all our work PCs, I could see a computer store that built your PC using that as well, which would explain why it’s turned on.

Yeah I bought it pre-built a while back, never had any problems until this.
I happy to leave it for days to repair as its going through it now.
Would it cause any issues if I was to use the monitor on another input while it did this or do I need to leave a monitor plugged in and on that input? I am hoping its finished before I have to work but if not I'll need to use the monitor with my work laptop.
Thank you for all your help with this it is REALLY appreciated

You technically can change inputs, but of course it can’t be monitored, I’ve also had some iffy experiences in the past with certain PCs where it can’t get the input back without a reboot, so I think it’s safer to leave it as is.

If you have to use the screen for work, it is what it is, it technically should come back when you plug it back in later.

I’m glad to offer some help, it sucks when your PC is down.

Ah cheers I will leave as is and hopefully its done by the time I need the monitor.

Wow, PXE is something I haven't seen in over 15 years. We used it for network testing during the time I worked as a contractor at Intel. At the time it was much more convenient to have a bunch of images you could pull on demand over the network...but these days almost noone ever uses it anymore because USB sticks are faster and easier.

The 1st thing I have done is uninstall Spider-man 2, if I want ti play it again I'll use the Steam Deck.
Thank you again for your help and thanks to the others for support
