My little brothers computer randomly reboots in this mode. It's starts diagnosing the computer and is then stuck in a infinite loop of repairing. I can't acces the bios, nor the repair menu that should've showed up. It's starts repairing by itself and I can't click anything to prevent the automatic repair. Any suggestions how to fix this?
 
Does it always do this or just randomly? Was his PC an update from win 7/8 or a fresh install - knowing this might help when we try to fix it.

Why can't you access bios? what motherboard does PC have? its hard to repair PC if you cannot get into BIOS first, need to fix that bit first.

Do you have a win 10 installer? you can get it from Here. Use that tool to make an installer on USB or DVD - its a useful Boot disk once we get into the BIOS

if anything he wants to rescue off PC, try this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/ (once we can get into bios). If you have a PC, you could move his drive into yours and save things off it that way.

Once you can change boot order, we can start to try to fix PC. If you can copy everything off PC he wants to keep, we can do a reset as it may save time trying to figure out what is wrong. If his PC is an upgrade from win 7 then it might be better to fresh install as it might reduce odds of this happening again.
 
He has a MSI 970A-G43, I tried replugging the ssd because the cable was a little bit loose. And now it's stuck on Select proper boot device... I know I can change that in the bios. but I can't open the bios for some kind of reason. The usb keyboard doesn't work either on startup. tried every usb port for the keyboard.
 
No PS3 port either, the horror. It has 6 USB 2 slots on back of board, they should work but if you tried them all, I have to take your word for it. I know the front USB ports may not work, depends how bios set up. Does the mouse work? BIOS is all mouse driven.

you might need to reset the cmos to get in: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2579622/reset-bios-msi-970a-g43.html as after you do that it should open bios and ask you to reset defaults
 
Solution


Disconnected the SSD and inserted it in my own computer. Tried everything with the bootable usb. and commands in command prompt. But didn't work.
Apparently the Master Boot Record of windows 10 was corrupted. So it had no chance in recovering anyways. I formatted the disk and reinstalled windows 10. Thanks for the help :)
