Can't boot into Arch Linux, Initramfs unpacking failed

I have Arch Linux dual-booted with Windows 10 and when I tried selecting Arch Linux from the Grub menu I get this message:

[    0.501474] Initramfs unpacking failed: read error
ERROR: Bai5ling out Run 'fsck /dev/sda5' manually

   Please run fsck manually. After leaving

I'm not able to type anything, and my keyboard and mouse appears to have shut off here. Luckily I'm still able to boot into Windows 10.

When I go back into the Grub menu and select Arch Linux fallback initramfs it just gets stuck on this message:

Loading Linux linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
