Everything is just messed up. Help.

[T-J]

Okay. So. I built my pc, at the start I couldn't get it to recognise my graphics card. Eventually when I did it recognised it, but windows did not and refused to use it. Further on down the line I install a game, and found out my gfx wasn't being used. Then, I turned off my computer using the button on my case. I then started up and didn't click F2 fast enough so I shut it down mid-boot of windows. I turned it on, windows failed to start. I reset from the screen, and it still failed. I then brought myself to click reset. And wipe everything. And windows failed to do that. Then I decided to remove everything entirely. And it got to 1% then said windows failed to reset this pc. From then on (20 minutes ago) I haven't been able to even get to the repair screen (btw I tried every single option I could from the startup repair) now, all I get is "Windows was not found" and as you guessed, it can't detect my OS. I checked the bios and my drive is there, so what the hell is going on and how do I fix it!?!?!!? Please help. It was the first AAA game I installed. And I can't even play it or the desktop.

1) plug your monitor into your graphics card NOT your motherboards IO panel

2) I don't know what you did to windows, because your description of the issue isn't clear. some things to try
-insert your OS disk, and load from that
--then select "repair windows", look carefully for this option as its not obvious
--let windows repair run it's automatic repair function
--if it fails chose "advanced" (unless it fails because it can't find an OS)
---if it fails due to not being able to find an OS, you'll probably need to simply reinstall your OS
--in advanced see if you can restore your system to an earlier time (ideally a period before you started to screw with the OS

--If this doesn't work then you'll probably have to use the command prompt to attempt to run the bootrec.exe commands, like bootrec.exe /fixmbr, or bootrec.exe /fixboot, probably bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd

if those don't work then you will have to reinstall windows (probably, as i said before you aren't really clear about whats happening with your system).

Um the thing is.. I can't format anything. It doesn't work. The os was already on it, so will I need a new product key? There's no way for me to reset the pc.

when you load the windows OS disk and go to install a new operating system there is a choice to format the drive you're installing the OS to, chose to format the sandisk and run the OS from a clean drive.

Okay for everyone telling me to do this and that with a disk, if you're talking about the windows one I don't have it. Assuming disk as in hard disk, how am I supposed to completely wipe the ssd or do anything to it when only the BIOS will load. Not even the repair screen loads anymore. I just want it to load to my desktop again.

 

[ingtar33]

you force the computer to boot from the USB/Disk with windows on it first. should be a boot options menu in the bios.

When I reboot through installation software and format the drive then install windows it still can't find the operating system when I tell it to boot from ssd

 

[ingtar33]

that's not possible unless you're not installing to the SSD

Thanks anyone who attempted to help, with mixed comments from you all I managed to find another thread that completely fixed my issue.
