I installed Windows 10, tried to restore and am now stuck in the BIOS.

This is a long, dumb story. Stay with me.

I installed Windows 10 on my Windows 7 machine today after backing it up using Paragon. When I began the installation, the only option I had was a fresh install (IE: my user folder and documents were deleted), so I took it. When I got into Windows 10, I wanted the old user files back, so I went into Paragon and tried to restore *just* those files and a couple others folders as well, namely Program Files (note that I didn't select the "windows* folder in the backup because I didn't want to restore Windows 7 to the SSD, I JUST wanted the user folder in Windows 10). When I initiated the restore, the computer restarted.

Now, when it boots up, it's stuck on the asus BIOS screen. But I can't do a freaking thing now because for some reason, I can't even *enter* the BIOS. It keeps saying "Please press DEL or F2 to enter UEFI BIOS setting", but nothing happens when I do press them. The computer never moves past the BIOS screen, considering it shuts down as soon as I hit the power button and has remained there for as long as fifteen minutes.

I'm completely lost and now terrified I fucked something up permanently. All help is appreciated.

just reinstall the windows disk

I would, but since I can't enter the BIOS, it doesn't matter much.

so you cant get to a boot menu? have you tried f12

Yup. Tied F2, F12 and DEL; none of them work. There's a BIOS button on my mobo that I tried holding down/pressing during startup and that doesn't seem to work either. I also tried two different keyboards, plugged directly into the board.

I don't see how it could be an issue with the hardware. I haven't had any issues with my board before and it was working perfectly fine right up until I tried that restore.
