Computer wont boot into windows

Go to solution Solved by VitaminG94,

Hello everyone, I was able to finally solve my issue. It seems the problem was with the intel optane drive that was installed on my motherboard. The optane was still trying to work with my ssd, and I'm pretty sure it was missing the required optane drivers since I formatted my ssd. After going into the UEFI settings I disabled optane and changed the sata setting back to default. Windows installed successfully after all that.

Hey all, I built my first pc about 2 weeks ago and everything was running fine. Today i decided to try and overclock my cpu to 5.1 Ghz it booted up just fine but when I tested the stability the pc blue screened and restarted from there i got trapped in a windows recovery loop. After being stuck on this loop for a few hours I attempted to reinstall windows to see if that was the issue but now it keeps saying there was an error trying to boot the os and I need to repair something. I have no idea if any of my parts are messed up or how to check if they are without being in windows. Disclaimer I used bootcamp on my mac laptop to burn the windows 10 iso onto my usb drive which i used to install windows on my pc the second time. The first time i installed windows I burned the iso file using another windows computer. Not sure if that makes a difference.

 

My setup is:

Intel core i7 8700k

Gigabyte Nvidia Gtx 1060 6gb 

Evga superNova 650 G1  watt 80+ gold psu

Gigabyte z370 Aorus Gaming 7 - OP

G.skill tridentZ 2 x 8 Gb 3200 Mhz

Corsair Hydro series h100i v2
