Just started today. Was able to let it automatic repair and boot up. Was on for like 10 hours, shut down and tried to boot up some hours later. Now its completely stuck on automatic repair. Have unplugged all additional hdd's and then all unnesscarry USB's. Still doing this. Also removed my ethernet card. Still the same.

I cannot lose my data. I have several SSD's and HDD's with important files across several of them.

I think my motherboard has shit the bed. Its been having odd voltage irregularities for a few months now but I just chalked it up to be a custom pc built by a moron.

I can now force the pc to boot from usb windows recovery tool but it still gets stuck on the asus logo. I leave it for an hour and it's the same.

My c drive is a nvme so ill need an enclosure or adapter to pull/clone the vital data...

    Well, if that is the case, the good news is motherboards are one of the more not-so-expensive replacements: Definitely cheaper than a cooked processor or even bad RAM these days.

    On a related note: It's worth springing for a quality power supply if you don't already have one to make sure your next board doesn't get cooked too.
