I installed a new psu, and removed the sata cable from my hard drive and motherboard, after putting it back in, it keeps trying to check the disc, but gets stuck on stage 2, 100% before it boots windows repair and then goes into the blue screen advanced options. I've tried some stuff like sfc /scannow, etc. It won't let me uninstall the last quality update, and im not sure what to do.

    It sounds like the system is struggling after the PSU and SATA cable change. Try these steps:

    1. Run this in Command Prompt (Admin):  DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Then: sfc /scannow Boot into Safe Mode and check if it stabilizes.
    2. Run: chkdsk /f /r to check disk health.
    3. If issues persist, consider an in-place upgrade using a Windows ISO to repair without losing data. BitLocker Considerations:
      • If BitLocker is enabled, suspend it before performing repairs:
    manage-bde -protectors -disable C:
