Looks like your boot drive died and PXE was the next option in the boot list. PXE isn't a threat in and of itself; it's mainly for booting servers off a network hosted drive. Check to see if you boot drive is visible in BIOS.

I was downloading some torrents and my computer crashed, now it boots on this screen(see image).

 

I did not recognize what this was so I stopped the computer before it finished loading. After a quick Google of it, the only thing I found was boot attacks so I unplugged my PC from ethernet to be certain  the rest of my network is unaffected.

 

I have nothing valuable stored on my computer everything is either in a NAS or the cloud. 

 

Does anyone know how to solve this and get back into windows?

I just never saw that and have had this motherboard for the past 3 years. As a boot option, why did it appear now?

I use to have a similar problem about 10 years ago with an old SSD that was solved with a firmware update. I would see if there is a new one that could solve it.
