Troubleshooting a Laptop Boot Issue

[Chlorine Pentoxide]

Hey guys,

 

 

Usually, I fix all kinds of tech-related problems myself without having to post here but this one is questioning my wits.

Context:
I was using my MicroOS desktop for casual browsing. I had to rush somewhere so I hard shut down my computer, packed up, and left. The place where I landed is pretty remote so the laptop had to go through some bumpy roads.

Problem:
I turned on the computer and it froze in the boot logo. I turned it off and restarted it landed me in the BIOS. Interestingly I found out that both the storage devices were not detected and all the boot devices slots were empty. I thought this might be due to me holding the power button too long such that the BIOS got reset, so I asked the BIOS to reset to default settings and boot. It showed me a screen filled with color noise and subsequent boots blank out the screen, even the BIOS does not load.

Diagnostic details:

Hardware details:
The laptop I run is an ASUS TUF FX505 I believe with AMD Ryzen 5 3rd Gen (3550H) with GeForce GTX 1650. Storage is handled by an Intel NVMe SSD 512GB and Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA

Software details:
I have manual partitioning with GPT scheme dual-booting OpenSUSE MicroOS as my primary workstation and Pop!_OS 20.04LTS as my secondary backup OS. I can provide the partition details but I think they are not relevant here.

Any thoughts on what in the world is happening here
