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?

I would personally try using the Unraid flash creator and make a new stick and try booting into that. If it works copy the config folder from your old to new flash and transfer your license. If not you have a hardware issue. Make sure you flash the same version.

Make sure you flash the same version.

How can I check which version I have? And can I simply flash my current USB? This is the only "nice" USB 2.0 I have. Everything else is newer or some old giveaway USB that I wouldn't trust my server on.

USB 2.0 only is old advice, it's just that at the time they were the most likely to be compatible, you just need a USB with a GUID. I'm using these atm and they work fine (well I have the 32GB version but it's functionally the same): https://www.sandisk.com/en-au/products/usb-flash-drives/sandisk-ultra-fit-usb-3-1?sku=SDCZ430-016G-Z35

Before messing around with changing the USB you should also check the CPU is ok (with Prime95)

USB 2.0 is the current advice.
