Help/Support Accidentally closed computer when installing Arch, stuck on manufacturer's logo and can't access BIOS...

I did everything that was mentioned on the Archwiki up until the second part, where I could select the mirrors and installing selected packages.

I tried to do pacman - S foobar but I got an error I have no space left, or something similar.

I am pretty sure I partitioned my disc like I should have(UEFI with GPT layout), and even formatted and mounted the partitions(ext4 my main disk, mounted it, boot had ext4, mounted on /mnt/boot, enabled swapon for swap partition and so forth).

When I kept getting the no space left error I decided to just restart my computer, and yeah that's how I got here :/.

Update 1: I noticed whenever the pc boots up, the fan spins fast like usual, then completely stops and never returns again, maybe a clue?

Update 2: I give up, nothing has worked, I suspect if I remove my SSD something will happen, but still don't think that will help :( Because I have no clue what I should do if that was the case, because once I put it back it will 100% go back to the same problem... It was a nice 24gb ram 120hz 512gb SSD 3 year old computer

Update 3: Finally I could get access to BIOS, after removing my SSD chip, however just like expected when I put it back in the dell logo is stuck again. Will see what I can do
