I dont know what to do. It won't boot at all now. Just gets stuck on the asus logo. Bad motherboard perhaps? How could I check? Buy a new motherboard and hope it fixes the issue?

The BSOD was a one off. Now the thing refuses to boot and gets stuck on the asus logo or the automatic repair every couple of forced shutdowns. Is my motherboard faulty??

    You need to run a checklist from least invasive to most invasive to be sure. Do you have a means to run a liveboot of any random Linux distro to just see whether the system will boot from it? If it does, it's probably not your motherboard but more likely a damaged drive.

    The asus logo is often just the windows logo with a theme applied. Can you boot into safe mode at all?

    Nope. Stuck stuck stuck on the logo every single time now.

    You can't get to UEFI?
    Pressing Del or F1 way before this logo shows up?

    Given your downvote I assume you can't get to UEFI before UEFI starts booting Windows (in the pic), that the keyboard presses do nothing.

    This might be basic, but have you checked if the keyboard or keyboard connection is faulty?
    (I mean trying with a different keyboard or a different set of USB ports.)
