Can you see the BIOS ?

[BojanM]

Assuming you've tried just restarting a couple times, try booting to repair (hold shift and mash f8 as boot starts). If that doesn't work, make a Windows USB recovery disk and boot to that, then try the troubleshooter.

I did try restarting it 3 or 4 times to get to the advanced settings and selected automatic repair thing and still the same. Also i did unplug it from the wall for about 2 mins and drained the power with the  button and same stuff all over.

The automatic repair thing ran, or it stuck on the same black screen before going into repair?

Try booting to safe mode with last known good configuration.

 

If you can boot in safe mode run an SFC scan and then the system recovery utility.

There is other things you could try but I'd probably just format and reinstall rather than spend time messing with it, especially if you have a recent backup image to reload. 

Make a linux live disc and boot to that if you have files you want to recover before formatting.

Wait this mobo has dual bios but idk how to switch it. 

the board is GA-MA770ud3 rev 1.0

but how do i format it. I cant enter the windows to do it and the ssd is my main drive and i dont have a drive with the system on it other than that one. 

[WWicket]

With Gigabyte you usually hold the power button and restart down till it restarts twice to switch to backup bios.

You would need to make an install disk. You can just use a usb thumbdrive but will need to make it at another computer.

If it is older, you probably need to set the jumper. Probably won't do it automatically.

 

 

If it is booting to the Windows logo, I doubt it is a BIOS issue though. If you have any other boot media (make an Ubuntu live disk for example) you can test it. If you make a Windows install drive, you can click repair now instead of install now when it boots to it and try running sfc. (after it boots to the repair do advanced options > cmd > 

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows

Probably just the repair utility finally running. I'd just leave it going and see what it does. Might work.

Looks like Windows did all the hassle for me because it just Did a clean install

[WWicket]

Lol. While as long as you don't need anything off it, I guess that saves you the trouble of making an install disk at least.
