This is a friends laptop. It was having issues communicating with a bluetooth speaker. I uninstalled the bluetooth drivers, restarted the laptop to find it crashed during the boot sequence. Then kept rebooting before the windows logo appears.
I removed the SSD, copied all data off, reformatted and put it back in. Same problem. Using a bootable USB I've accessed the command prompt in the Repair option and tried some options I've read on this and other forums, nothing has helped. They all came out OK. The harddrive appears to be fine. I've tried to install windows again. Sometimes the laptop crashes 10s after pressing the On button, sometimes it lets me get into the BIOS and crashes shortly after varying lengths of time. I've started the windows installation process multiple times from the bootable USB and the computer crashes at roughly 10% of the 'Expanding Windows Files' phase.
I've also removed the battery after disconnecting the power cable and held down the power button for 30s. I've read everything I can on this issue and can't find a solution.
