Worked fine this morning. Get back home, plug it in, gives me a weird line on startup saying I'm using a battery that isn't original. Whatever. Try to tell it to start anyway.

Everytime I try to start it, I get the Lenovo logo, then it flashes

Reset System

And restarts.

What do?

Booting from the USB is fine.

I'll try recovery mode.

If not, does this mean I have to reinstall Linux and I lose everything on the computer?

You can "roll back" to an earlier kernel. If a kernel update, caused some problem, or is suspected of causing an issue you; Reboot, holding left shift key while doing so to invoke the grub menu, then choose "advanced options", There you choose the previous working kernel, and continue boot.

A hard drive dock is cheap. Buy one.

You can access files from any other computer.

Hard drives fail. It's a fact of life.

A hard drive dock is cheap.

Essential equipment and far cheaper than taking your computer to a repair place just to have them copy files to another drive/USB stick.
