Yesterday my computer crashed, the blue screen of death popped up and I restarted it. I didn't see the information about the problem. After that my bios kept looping, sometimes I see white dash. I am sure my SATA and SSD don't have problems because I can see them in the bios. The problem is that I can't see Boot Option Priorities. My CSM is enabled and i have done so many things to fix it but nothing is working. I have updated the bios, restored to defaults and restarted the CMOS nothing is working. Do you have any idea what is going on?
Motherboard: Gigabyte b360 hd3
CPU: Intel i5-8500
 
Solution
just cause drives show in bios doesn't mean they working in windows.
clearly it can't boot.


There is over 350 BSOD codes so its not simple to work out what cause might be without knowing it

On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB
see if you can use boot over ride to boot off USB, it should be on the save & exit screen of bios
see page 39 - https://download.gigabyte.com/FileL...0603_e.pdf?v=dd6589fe1d419b2f6e17dd7c23756396

try running startup repair
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix...

boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info

if that doesn't help,
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose command prompt
Enter these BOLD commands and press ENTER after each.

(Note the colon after C with no space; then the spaces which are important - one after T before / & T before { & } before B & Y before L)

C:

BCDEDIT /SET {DEFAULT} BOOTMENUPOLICY LEGACY

EXIT


You are back to the boot screen -> Shutdown the computer.

Boot back up and "immediately" start tapping F8 (That means power button - then F8).

Hopefully that should get you into Safe Mode.

If BSOD was just caused by drivers, safe mode should work

If you can get into safe mode, I would copy anything off C you want to keep. Just in case. Backups always helpful.

try running chkdsk on both drives in safe mode.

I can't boot the usb, when i boot it the pc restarts and after that a blue screen shows. It is a blue screen only, blue nothing more.
