My computer is stuck in a bootloop where its starts up, says it performing an automatic repair the screen goes black for a second then it blue screens, restarts and goes through the process again. Does anyone know what's wrong or how I can fix this issue? It's a self built PC I've had for 2 years, have had a few blue screens due to a hard drive having a loose cable, (windows is on a separate SSD)

How do I do that though, I cant open the bios it just turns on runs a repair for a few seconds then blue screens

 

 

First, remove the SSD, and plug it into another machine. There's a chance you can get some or all of your files off. After that, format it, reinstall in laptop, then proceed with this:

Most Mobo's today, DELETE, is the key to get in bios when booting.

 Considering it is booting, i think everything should be fine.

 

Grab a 16GB USB stick, and make a bootable Windows 10 usb of it and then try again.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10 here is the link for windows 10.

 

Click on the link/words I included as a screenshot here, for instructions to make a bootable usb device with w10 (same page as link included)
