Chkdsk loop, attempt to repair, can't boot

Hello, first some stats:

Computer: Samsung Laptops series 5, NP (can't get exact info rn) Security software: Eset Smart Security, cleaned every month with Mbam, every other week with CCleaner

Yesterday I planned to log in to one of MMORPG I'm playing, so decided to restart my computer to clear RAM and unnecessary processes leftover after my regular work.

Attempted reboot from start menu, restart. It took over 20 minutes of sitting on black screen, then rebooted again and hit stuck on "Repairing disk, Volume (hex identifier) 100%"

Hour later it started storming, so ended up turning off computer and going to sleep.

Today attempted to get into safe mode, with no luck. It either tries to run chkdsk and gets stuck on the second volume (while "SystemPartition goes through 100%"), or on "Diagnosing your PC", or "Preparing Automatic Repair".

After over an hour of sitting on chkdsk, it got stuck on black screen and everything but fan stopped working. After reboot to try to get into Safe Mode again it started booting system, then threw BSOD with "Bad System Config" as explanation,then rebooted itself back into Diagnosing Loop.

Sometimes on boot can hear a static pop, possibly from the speakers, although never experienced it before on this laptop.

Suspected PSU, so ran from battery but no luck.

Additionally, I ran Smart scan and lifediag on drive in last few days (was checking external/network drive for errors, so checked mine as well) and everything was perfect, with no health issues a D temperature not going past 41*C.

Computer didn't seem any slower and no software was installed in last few days. I had occasional audio drivers crashes in last month, but Samsung Update Agent took care of that.

Currently it is running diagnostic, no USB devices plugged in, no Ethernet, just AC. It doesn't seem to make any progress though.

If ya'll could help me figure out what to do, and at least restore my data so I can back up recent work, it would be amazing.
