My PC will not boot after resetting Windows. It shows a black screen for a few seconds then opens the BIOS. I am able to manually open the BIOS too by pressing DEL. I have reset the BIOS settings and removed all uneccesary hardware.
It might help to explain why I had to reset Windows, it's a bit long so I'll bulletpoint.
- Restarted my PC, it showed the 'Operations in Progress' while shutting down. I assumed it was just Windows updates or something.
- When it went to boot up, it BSOD'd with SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or something similar. It would then restart itself, only to give the same error. It would not automatically attempt startup repair after 3 failed boot attempts.
- I created a bootable USB to run startup repair, but it was unable to fix the problem.
- Tried a restore point but apparently there were none. I've used it in the past so I definitely had it enabled at some point. Unsure why it's disabled.
- I managed to boot in safe mode via F11. I redownloaded drivers with Drive Booster, ran SFC scannow and CKHDSK (Both reported no errors), tested RAM with Prime 95 (No errors), manually deleted GPU driver as I read that might be the problem. None of these things worked.
- Used WhoCrashed to try and find out what drivers were crashing, both fltmgr.sys and ntoskrnl.exe were causing problems, but I was unable to get any more info. I tried using cmd and the ren file.sys file.old thing but I didn't have permission for ntoskrnl and fltmgr path couldn't be found.
- I tried to roll back to a previous update but the Update and Security settings page wouldn't open, it immediately closed the window when I clicked it.
- I copied my User and Programfiles over to another drive just in case I have to reset. While doing so it would get to abou 90% then say pop up with the window that asks what to do because there is already a file with the same name. It appeared it was trying to recopy the entire folder (or a large part of it) over again.
- Tried a clean boot, didn't work. Rebooted in safe mode to go back to normal boot. Now the BSOD changed. Instead it was a winload error, and said I required a recovery disk. Won't even boot into safe mode anymore.
- Used the bootable USB to reset Windows. It does so, but now instead of a BSOD it just goes to the BIOS. (This is my current issue)
- Tried to reinstall Windows via the USB but it says I can't do it from a recovery drive.
Really would appreciate some help with this as I've being going mad trying to fix it.
