Computer Won't fully boot up

[Anthouse]

Just last night when shutting my computer down, I noticed that after 40 minutes of my monitor sitting on a black screen and my computer lights and fans staying on my computer still wouldn't shut off so I forced it to shut off by holding the main power button. I woke up this morning and turned on my PC and it posted but got stuck by a Windows error screen saying that my PC couldn't boot properly and it restarted itself. I've had that problem before, Windows 10 is very buggy, but it got weird when it restarted and after showing the Windows symbol with the white dots indicating it was loading underneath, it went to black screen and stayed there, I could move the cursor and it would show up on the screen for a few seconds before disappearing but that's the only thing I could do. I left my computer on for a while thinking it was just loading but coming back an 30 minutes later and it's still stuck. I've restarted it three more times, one time plugging out all my external devices. My gigabyte gaming g1 x99 wifi has a display that displays any errors that may occur in the internal hardware and all its show is the AA error code which basically means that everything should be working but Windows just won't load up past this point. If someone could help me solve this problem quickly that would be greatly appreciated!

With older versions of windows, the way to fix this problem was after the initial bios post was to spam the F8 key on the keyboard until you were presented with the windows booting menu.

You had two choices then.
Either select last good known configuration.
Or select boot windows with a command prompt.

If it reached the point where a dos box loaded.

You typed chkdsk /F

That would force windows on the next re boot to perform a disk check and repair any damage to the file structure or files of windows Anthouse.

After another re boot it would normally fix any errors or loading errors of windows, by a forced system shut down such as holding the main power button on your system.

But to be honest I don`t use windows 10 myself so it may of changed with windows 10.
But give it a try anyway ok.

if you have your windows 10 media still boot from it and select recovery. there you should have options to recovery to a prev restore point or other options for recovery.

More than likely it's an issue with a corrupted boot manager. Really easy to fix, just try running Startup Repair and that should fix any damaged components. If Startup Repair (and any of the other peviously mentioned solutions) doesn't work then you'll want to consider reformatting the machine but that's your 'hail mary' pass.

Once you're up and running you'll want to start running the backup. Either a disk imager like Macrium Reflect Free or a snapshot tool like Rollback Rx. Either option will work for you.
