How to fix PC boot looping

[Luci]

Hello, 

I didnt manage to find a more suitable category so I am using General.

I have a PC that was left to sleep mode and when I woke up something has happened (I assume it is windows update) and It wasnt starting. I had the blue screen of death.

No worries, I tried to fix it, enter safe mode and so on but it just didnt start, so as a final option I pressed the reset button and deleted my files and apps (not a complete reset which is for when dumping a drive)

After I did that it re installed windows and tried to boot up again - no success. Now it boots, shows the motherboard logo (MSI Gaming Carbon) and restarts. I have access only to the BIOS

I dont have access to a flash drive at the moment and provided it is Christmas Eve I wont have for a few days. 

Is there anything I can do to be able to get out of the boot loop?

Not if you've deleted any system files, and that is the reason for non-Windows boot loop...

First step is to reset CMOS. Then try installing windows again. Make sure to delete the partitions with the existing installation/EFI/MBR or preferably the entire drive if you don't have stuff you need on there.

 

If you don't have access to a USB for a while then you're stuck if that fails really. I always have my PCs set to always on, as I have seen more problems occur when PCs enter sleep/hibernate etc than otherwise and just don't trust it for those reasons. I just turn my PC off manually if I'm not gonna use it for a while, and very rarely I might hibernate it if I want to quickly return to something I was doing.
