Need help asap.

Tonight I've had a blue screen whenever I try to play a game, I have Windows 10, and the code is THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER and after a bit of research I found that flashing the bios fixed the problem, and whilst I was doing that (GIGABYTE Z-97 MOBO) through the software, it blue screened in the middle of flashing, and now my PC is stuck in an endless loop of constantly Turing off and on every three seconds. I have no idea what to do, please help.

If it crashed during flashing, you just bricked your board. How could it have blue-screened during flashing, though? You didn't do it through Windows, did you?

 

Check to see if your motherboard is a dual BIOS board. If it isn't, you need to buy a new board.

This should be posted in troubleshooting. Is there a second bios on your board you could switch to?

I was updating it through the program in Windows, and it blue screened. It is a dual bios chip board, I need someone to walk me through what to do. Can you call please?

Please delete your phone number before someone randomly calls you.

 

Which motherboard is it?

Alright, so it appears your board has Gigabyte's dualBios via UEFI, and not a physical switch on the board. The only thing I can suggest is letting it boot loop and see if it recovers eventually. Otherwise, you might want to consider a new board.

But it's a dual bios board...? 

Are those my only two options? 

Can someone explain what the hell happened?

You were attempting to flash your BIOS in an attempt to fix your issue. You did so through software on Windows, instead of on the board itself through the Flash Utility in your BIOS. During this, your PC crashed, and your BIOS became corrupted, throwing your PC into a boot loop. 

 

If your board has a physical switch on it for the dual BIOS, switch it. However, my limited research returned no such results for something of the like on your board. If it does, switch it. If it doesn't, let it boot loop for awhile and see if anything happens.

If it doesn't have a switch, what's the point of having dual bios?

Because, unlike GPUs with dual BIOS for overclocking, your board has it as a backup. So it's a failsafe. I'm suggesting leaving it in boot loop to initiate a recovery.

I honestly have no idea. Could take two minutes, could take thirty. I've never had to do it, personally. Just know that there's no harm in letting it go.

Well to me it is because I'm 17 and money doesn't come easy. 

What does clr_cmos do?

That won't do shit

Resets BIOS Settings to default

edit: holy mutherfuckig shit this editor, I can't even finish a post without it posting

Anyways it just resets BIOS settings to default which I doubt will do shit since you faced a blue screen not something too the actual BIOS(S)
