There is a solution on this thread that may work, but just a shot in the dark...

I will only ever answer to the best of my ability - there is absolutely no promises that I will be correct. Or helpful. At all.

I was playing Playerunknown's Battlegrounds when I got a blue screen. Now my PC won't boot into windows. I tried booting into safe mode, resetting windows and startup repair, but none of these work. Any ideas?

Which version of windows are you running?

I tried that as well, but it didn't work. Do you think that completely wiping the drive would work? (I haven't got a backup, but it's better than having a bricked PC)

 

EDIT: tried to wipe the drive, but it failed and reverted the changes...

There may be a way of fixing it that some intelligent person will come along and recommend, but if not and you are going to wipe the drive use DBAN. That won't have an error wiping it :)
