Won't boot. does the MX boot logo gif, then stays on a flashing caret [Solved]

after looking through the output of dmesg, there's this line close to the end of the file.

Code: Select all

[    8.096157] FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

could this be the reason why? should I try to fix it with fsck.fat?

or should I put the dmesg output here first?

Forgot to mention here that I could not resolve what the issue was and just proceeded to just re-install. I will mark it as solved with this for now unless told otherwise.
