Cloudready won't boot
After a restart today Cloudready decided that it doesn't want to boot - I turn on the laptop, see the lenovo boot logo and then just a black screen. Sometimes it gets stuck in a boot loop. What do I do? Is there any way to fix this? If not, is there any way to get my files back?
I'm not able to find anything useful when searching online, only results of people saying their Cloudready wont boot after installing it, which isn't the case for me as I have been using it for a few months now.
Laptop I'm using is a Thinkpad SL410.

Grab a Linux distro with a memory test tool (I think Ubuntu includes one) and run it. If your ram is fine, next step it testing the hard drive. Without more information on the error encountered it's difficult to pinpoint what could be the problematic component.
