Windows 10: How do I fix this strange "the specific domain either does not exist or could not be...

Hello, about 3-ish months ago, me and my father built a new pc for myself. It recently has gone into a BSOD infinity loop so I decided to rest the whole pc because I didn't have anything of value on the pc itself. After I did that I kept getting the error "the specific domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" when I try logging in. I thought if I reset it again it would fix it. It didn't work so I looked up how to fix it. To fix the pc I had to go into safe mode but whenever I go into safe mode it kicks me back the log in menu. After the second reset I also lost alot of options

UnattendedJoin error: failed to find the domain data (0x6e)

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't want to add a domain account, as this is a generic unattended install that will be used for all company machines. Do you think it's possible that the computer would join the domain if, instead of using UnattendedJoin in specialize, I used your steps but left out the specific account? The other thing I was thinking was to use a generic account to allow the domain join during the specialize step. I added a machine password in the UnattendedJoin component, and instead of getting the error listed above, I got an authentication error, which makes me think I could probably do a secure join instead of the unsecure join. Thoughts?
