What are the full specs of your system?

 

Sounds like you might have a RAM configuration that is incompatible with your Mobo/CPU, RAM speeds set incorrectly, or a poorly mismatched kit; all of which could cause bad enough RAM errors to prevent booting.

CPU: I7 860

GPU: gtx 660 Ti

The new Ram is HyperX 16gb DDR3 1866 CL10

Old ones were 4x2GB TW3X4G1333C9A

Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D PRO

Also, when I was putting the RAM in first time I didnt put the Ram stick all the way in and pressed the memok button on motherboard idk if that could leed into this.

Let's work backwards and make sure everything else is still working as it should. If you put your old RAM back in, does the system boot up properly again?

 

Edit: I just looked up your mobo, and according to the RAM QVL, it only supports up to 4GB per slot. Your kit is (presumably) 2x8GB which might the cause of your problems.

What else can I do now. It doesn't work even with the old ones. Still can get only into BIOS 

[Kid.Lazer]

Keep your old RAM installed for now and let's reset your BIOS. Since you can access the BIOS, enter it and select <load optimized defaults>, then save and restart.

 

If that has no effect, look for an option like <UEFI Boot> in the "Boot" tab and change that to enabled.

Is Load setup defaults the same thing?

Also in boot there is no UEFI boot option

Yep, that's the option you want. I wasn't sure exactly what your BIOS screen looked like. And it's the same thing for your UEFI boot. I didn't know if that was an option on that motherboard or not.

 

Can you post a picture of what the screen looks like if you select the boot settings configuration?

Tried the load setup defaults didn't do anything. Boot setting configuration looks like this:

There isn't anything i can enable which is not already enabled

So it would appear your install has become corrupt.

 

I would suggest reading through this page: https://www.easeus.com/resource/fix-windows-automatic-repair-loop.html It has some good info and may help you troubleshoot in real-time, rather than waiting for responses from me. Scroll about a 1/4 way down the page to get to the troubleshooting steps.

Thanks for trying anyways!

The error that W10 gives to you is RAM Related.

 

I know this because I was facing the same error a few hours ago.

 

In my case, loading defaults, and reverting all XMP / DOCP profiles solved the issue.

 

Then I put them again and worked perfectly.

Try to remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard for a few minutes. Then put it again, put the old sticks and give it a try.

I mean its for sure a RAM problem. But I cant understand why even restoring your mobo to default settings I just dont understand why the old ones dont work.

Wait!! You have two drives or just one? Mine was doing automatic repair because when I restored defaults it was trying to boot from the other drive which also has Windows10

 

Maybe check boot order?
