Windows 10: Latest update causes system to go into dead bootloop

Heyo!


So I'm part of the fast ring for windows insider and after downloading the latest update that I think was sent to my system on Saturday or Sunday I restarted the system last night to do the update.


However, it started doing its usual thing and did it's first restart. I was greeted with an off screen, no signal at all being sent to it. That's when the boot looping started. I left it to do its thing for a while and eventually it got to the point where I couldn't handle it. It wasn't shutting down properly, it would shut off in the same fashion that a power loss would.


I did a clean start with no HD's plugged in and got to the bios where it asked for a boot drive. Plugged in all my storage drives and it actually sees all of them. Then I went to plug in the SSD with Win10 on it and it goes back to not even booting into the bios, no video signal. I tested the SSD this morning at work and it's still perfectly fine, the drive reads, writes and everything else looks good.


I can't even roll it back to a previous version since, yet again, no boot screens. Tried different SATA ports as well, tried unseating the RAM, tried booting with just the SSD in it. Nothing seems to be working.


Normally I would figure this out on my own and post the problem and solution but I had to come into work to explain the problem.


At this point I am pretty sure that my PC has been bricked by the latest Win10 update.


Help, please.
