While casually browsing on my laptop ( Acer Aspire A515-54G ) the laptop bluescreened, this was completely out of nowhere and the laptop wasn’t even running anything hard or being strained at all. Then when booting up the laptop again it showed ‘No bootable device’ I followed all advice on the internet about going into bios but basically all advice said to change the boot settings to legacy, but in my bios there is no option to change those settings and the only option in the boot section is to change out of safety boot. Can anyone help?
How can I fix my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57 with it saying "No Bootable Device"
How do I get out of no bootable device on my Acer aspire 5 laptop? Any help is appreciated.
How to fix "no bootable device" Tried windows installation media through USB but it just shows the Acer logo.

Context: My acer swift laptop was on as I went away from it and after ~15 mins I come back to find a black screen with "No bootable device" written. I tried a few things to solve it:
Boot up the laptop, f2 to get into the bios (InsydeH20 Setup Utility Rev. 5.0), setup defaults and save and exit
Disable fast boot -Enable f12 boot menu and press f12 when the acer logo appeared only to find nothing
I tried to change boot mode from UEFI to legacy but it's not giving me the option to even interact with boot mode. I tried disabling secure boot and then doing and it didn't work. Tried with f12 enabled, still didn't work. Tried it with both "erase all Secure boot settings" and "Restore Secure Boot to Factory Default", still won't let me change the boot mode.
What's kinda having me concerned is that "Boot priority order:" doesn't display anything? Is it not registering my hard drive?
I haven't dropped or damaged my laptop so I don't suppose the hard drive is damaged but there are 2 things that happened that I suspect could have caused this issue.
About two hours before this happened, my laptop crashed from overheating (supposedly). It did work fine after that but perhaps some of the hardwear got damaged.
The second theory which I think is more likely is that I downloaded and configured an animated screen saver from Wallpaper Engine. This could have messed with the boot up order, thus resulting in the issue.
I am not an expert or anywhere close so these theories are just slighly educated guesses.
If you have any advice or tips on how to resolve my issue I would be very thankful :)
