Windows 10: Unmountable Boot Volume Troubleshooting

I'm trying to fix a laptop that has started BSODing with the error "Unmountable Boot Volume" on startup.

I used the windows media creation tool to format a USB with windows on it, and I've booted with the USB on the laptop, but once I boot from the USB the laptop sits at the MOBO splash screen forever.



I then tried the same process but instead of using the media tool from Windows, I used Rufus. I had the same results..just getting stuck at the mobo splash screen.

I've also disabled Secure Boot in the laptop BIOS.

I'm running out ideas on what to do? Does the USB need to be formatted differently? I thought the Windows Tool and Rufus handled all that automatically.
