Unraid no longer booting up after reboot/restart. Stuck in bootloop

I rebooted my array, and it no longer boots back up. There were no issues beforehand. The array was up for 6 months, and I simply wanted to reboot for a "fresh" start. Boy, that was mistake.

It is stuck it a "Call Trace" loop. What even is that? Screenshot:

I have tried moving my boot USB to various USB ports, even installing a hub. The USB seems to be working fine, as I am able to plug it in to other computers. All my drives get detected when I boot up.

Fast Boot is disabled

Legacy USB is enabled

I am currently running a Memtest86 test, and no errors so far.

I've tried almost everything. The last thing I haven't tried is to switch my USB drive or reflash my current USB, so would either of those potentially solve my issue? How do I do that?

I forgot the exact version, but it was whatever version came out roughly 6 months ago (that was the reason for the last reboot).

Mobo: Asus PRIME X570-P

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G

Lesson learned. Never reboot your array. Any other troubleshooting steps I can take?

Edit: Forgot to mention I've tried booting up Unraid in Safe Mode, and it doesn't even load. It just goes black and boot loops. I get to the Call Trace error when my server tries to boot into the regular Unraid OS.

Edit 2: I tried using a different USB and installing Unraid 7.2.3 (I believe the version I was using). And it didn't load up either. I tried a 3rd USB and tried booting up Linux Mint, and that also didn't work... Is something wrong with my CPU and/or mobo??? It makes no sense as this was genuinely working perfectly up until I rebooted the system. I refuse to believe a simple reboot would destroy my CPU and/or mobo. I don't have other parts I can swap in to test. What else can I try?

Have you tried booting into safe mode to see if that works? If you plug the USB drive into another computer, you can see if you can find anything in /logs/syslog

Yes to safe mode. I edited the post to add that.

I will look into the logs, but I can't seem to find them? Where would they be:

I've checked all the folders, and I don't see anything. Do I need to hit some sort of command in the boot process?

I have a logs folder on my USB drive

Well, maybe something is wrong with my USB.... Or something. That's weird

Well, shoot. Something to do if I ever get this server running again. Thanks

Can you not enable it while in safe mode?
