So, I decided to install windows 7 on a separate hard drive(not my main drive). After messing around with windows 7 a little bit, I decided to boot back to windows 10. After I hit restart, the PC boots to windows 10 and it BSOD and restart and BSOD, after two blue screen, it decided to boot, not to desktop but to some recovery things, it said it needs to check disk error, so OK i let it ran but after something like 5 minute the screen is still stuck on the boot logo with no progess bar or indication whatsoever, I hold the power button and reboot it but now, there is no display signal on the screen. somebody please help, I need some advice.

You should never shut down the PC while disc repair is running. Windows was attempting repairs on your drive when you forced shut down. In my experience disc repair can take 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the type and capacity of the drive. I really hate to be the one to tell you this but if you are unable to somehow repair your data in some way such as plugging the drives into another PC and running some kind of repair software, you are probably going to need to reinstall windows from scratch. If you have a spare drive or in a pinch a spare usb stick you could install windows on that and then try to recover your data of your original OS  drive after install.

my data is not the problem here, its the PC not booting somehow. Can you give me some piece of advice on how to fix that?

yes, the screen is pitch black

Ok. Unplug the power from your power supply. After it is unplugged hold down your power button for about 20 seconds to drain any power still in your system. Then take off the side panel and carefully reseat all sticks of ram. Then put the side panel back on plug the PC back in and turn it on. Hopefully this will allow you to at least reach the bios.

Hmm. Make sure to try all available video outs you can. Your GPU might default to showing the bios screen on another output (besides the one you have connected to your monitor) in some cases. If you have a CPU with an IGPU like  most stock intel chips you might try removing your graphics card and booting from your motherboard’s HDMI out.
