Randomly Gets Stuck Booting to BIOS

A few months ago, I started running into an issue. My PC would just randomly boot to BIOS when I hit the power button. I went through basically every single fix and eventually unplugging the usb’s on the top of my computer made it open more consistently. Unfortunately, it has started booting to BIOS 1 out of every 20 or so times I try to turn it on. When I am actually able to get to my desktop, it blue screens and goes back to BIOS.

For context, my PC (bought in 2019) was originally a prebuilt from Alienware (The Aurora series) that I case swapped and replaced the motherboard, ram, and PSU. I am not very knowledgeable about computers but I’m trying my best lmao. I also overclocked it, but it ran perfectly for years aside from random storage issues and low framerate. The bios is the red and black version of Gigabyte.

My working theory is that it is having problems finding my windows file, but I don’t know how to confirm if that is the issue

Someone pls help me 😭😭, i’m literally so desperate and will answer any questions anyone has, I start school in less than a month and need this pc heavily.

TLDR: Pc keeps booting to BIOS and whenever I can actually get to my desktop, it blue screens.
