Razer Blade 2015 won't boot, stuck in "Preparing Automatic Repair" loop


Hi Guys, I have a 2015 14" Razer Blade (product no. RZ09-01301E41), and out of nowhere, it just stopped booting.

If i try and boot as normal, it loads the razer logo as normal when turned on, then displays "Preparing Automatic Repair" just below it. Then the screen goes black, and it restarts, and does the exact same thing again in a constant loop.

If i insert a Windows 10 install USB, and force it to boot from it (f12 boot menu), it goes to the razer logo on a black screen and the fans spin up to the usual noisy level, then the spinning circle of dots rotates for a bit sugeesting something is loading, then i get a BSOD that gives the error "CRYPTO_LIBRARY_INTERNAL_ERROR" and powers off. Sometimes I get "Page Fault in Non-paged Area", and it reboots, othertimes "ACPI BIOS ERROR" and powers off. But whatever error it throws, it never actually boots into the Windows 10 install screen from the USB.

I have tried the following alternative boot options:

1. Removing the SSD entirely (same result when trying to boot from the w10 USB)
2. Booting from an external HDD with windows installed (similar results to the w10 usb)
3. Booting from a MemTest USB - Loads memtest fine. Have not run an extensive test (20-30mins max), but produced no errors. Boots to the MemTest load screen every time without issue.
4. Booting another "all in one" type boot USB with system recovery tools - wont boot.

I am at my wits end in trying to figure this out since there are essentially no BIOS options to allow adjustment of things like clock speeds / voltages in case it was an overheating issue, and without a user replaceable CPU or RAM, i can't see what else I can try switching out to fault test....so I'm really hoping someone here has some ideas.


Thanks in advance.
