📋 Table of Contents
Your SSD may be experiencing issues due to the power outage, but Windows 11 is also a potential culprit. A non-clean shutdown can cause the operating system to become unstable, leading to errors like the 'critical service error' and the stuck BIOS screen.
🔧 Proven Troubleshooting Steps
Method 1: Power Cycle and Check for Physical Damage
- Step 1: Unplug the power cord, wait for 30 seconds, and plug it back in.
Method 2: Run a System File Checker (SFC) Scan
- Step 1: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type 'sfc /scannow'.
Method 3: Run a Disk Check
- Step 1: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type 'chkdsk C:' (assuming your SSD is installed on drive C).
💡 Conclusion
If none of the above methods resolve the issue, it's possible that your SSD is damaged. In this case, consider running a diagnostic test or seeking professional help to determine the cause and potential repair options.
