automatic repair loop

[Ryan Stevenson]

Hi there need help with my pc.

Stays in a automatic repair loop even though i formatted the drive

Cleaned cpu and socket its am4

Used isopropyl alcohol

Randomly shuts down while im in my windows installation process

And the ssd is only reading in legacy not uefi

Tried everything i can

Live in south africa i dont have the finances to replace parts

There is something wrong with your SSD. You should always use UEFI with Win10 and Win11.

Maybe you can find an older SATA HDD and install Windows on it. Once Windows is installed, you'll be able to diagnose your SSD.

Good luck !

Thanks for your reply another guy said it could be the cpu is that possible?

It started with me replacing the thermal paste then the cpu came out so i finished replacing thermal paste then i turned it on and there it was automatic repair loop.  thought it was corrupt boot key couldn't get into command prompt.  so i formatted then it still did automatic repair loop and it was still reading a windows boot key in the bios . I updated my bios . Cleaned cpu incase thermal paste got anywhere.  then i booted it without the ssd and the automatic repair look goes away. Then i tried to boot from a usb with windows and it shuts down randomly.  put the ssd back in now it only reads the ssd if im in legacy?
