PC won’t boot past Bios after Crash

PC Specs:

CPU - Intel i9-14900k
Motherboard - Pro z690-A DDR4
GPU - RTX 5060ti 16gb
SSD - WD_BLACK SN850
Ram - 32gb DDR4 (not sure the brand)

When I tried to turn my PC on this afternoon, I logged in, but during the log in loading screen, it froze completely. I didn’t think much of it and got frustrated so I switched off the power supply at the back to force it to shut down.

After turning it back on, it went straight to Bios. And every time I save and exit, back to bios again.

I’ve done a little research, but I don’t think this is something I can fix by myself. It seems there’s a high chance my SSD or HDD has failed or corrupted. I’m not certain, but I’m pretty sure my Bios can still see my SSD though.

Any help would be really appreciated. I’m not opposed to buying a new SSD or whatever. But there are a few things on my current one that I really, really don’t want to lose. And if there’s a way to salvage those things, advice on that would be really helpful too. Thank you!
