If what you want is just restoring your old pc files, you can try alternative methods like using a ssd/hdd reader(depending your hard drive) and just copy whatever you want.

You may also use OS like rescuezilla to fully transfer your harddrive content to another if you want your entire drive.

If I must make a wild guess on what might be the issue, it could be your CPU pins on your motherboard, they are one of the most vulnerable places that can go wrong.

Troubleshooting your own PC can be pretty f*cking annoying, I've been there.

My previous PC was fried by the unstable power from the previous rented house, and I only found out after I moved out months later, and I went through every component. Troubleshooting the issue is even more of a challenge because the issue was the PC would suddenly stop its power and restarts, at random, when the PC is on for like 4-40 hours(so I cannot tell if I fixed the problem immedietely), after a month of struggling(because troubleshooting is pain and I need to wait for deliveries) I finally locate the issue, replaced both PSU and motherboard because they were both fried.
