BSOD and much more, need help!

So last night while playing Borderlands 3, I got up to use the restroom. Upon re-entering the room I catch the tail end of a BSOD (unable to catch the crash code). Computer restarts and this is where all my fun began. It attempts to get to the windows main screen and I see only a light blue/teal screen with the time on it. After clicking to login it takes 5-10 minutes to get to my desktop background only. In my mind something is eating up my RAM during start-up sis I ctrl-alt-del to get a task manager to run. This takes a few minutes to populate. Background only still on screen no desktop icons or bars. All parts of task manager show little usage across the board. Everytime you click on the background it "whites out" like a program not responding type thing. I tell myself f$#* it I'll do a system restore. I see a restore point cool right, well it will not restore from that point. So I decide to format disks to do a total from scratch install. Low and behold this isn't the easiest to do, I use the recovery usb to be able to access /cmd, as I can't do anything from my background only. One of the disks I can't format at all. Its marked read only, all fixes to revert this error out or are blocked. So I decide to let it attempt to login and load while I lay down for the "night" (I work nightshift so my nights are daytime). 8+ hours and still in the same situation. Checked seating on all components and it's wonderfully seated. Lather rinse and repeat.... Nothing I need some ideas or something.Pics

The SSD is recognized. But I'm unable to format it from diskpart. Comes with the read only error. All attempts to remove the read-only status can't follow through either. I took the SSD out to hopefully bypass and be able to install on the mechanical drive, and computer wouldn't even get to POST, just a non-booting cycle. Put the SSD back and we are right back where we started.

I've never had need to use it, but from the posts I've seen from others, DS tech support is most often VERY good. They can remotely assess your system, and walk you through multiple fixes (if needed) until they get to the bottom of the issue. Just sayin'.

Can you do this:

My thinking is this: if you can get into the BIOS when the PC powers up, change the boot order such that the USB drive will be selected first. The USB drive should have a bootable windows 10 installation media. It will then proceed with installing Windows on your mechanical drive.

I have had to do the above on my MSI laptop. For some unknown reason to me, the installed NVME with the OS wasn't being recognized.

I found someone who ran into a similar situation after a lot of Google searching. Seems as though the drive failed. Now to contact customer support. Haven't had theachine a year opted for the 3 year.
eerily similar case
