Can't access my PC

That sounds like BIOS setup where the BIOS setting for your PC are adjusted. Click on the Boot tab and look at the Boot Priority order. Is hard drive first? For the more modern UEFI firmware which replaces BIOS that should be Windows Boot Manager. If
not correct follow the navigation aids provided on the right side to move the correct device to boot first, then choose Save and Exit. What happens?

There are other settings which may need adjusting but we'll start there. If necessary I'll also help you do the vastly superior

Clean Install Windows 10 which is the best install of Windows one can have. If you only had the Upgrade or a Factory install then I'd do that anyway, but let's make sure your BIOS/UEFI settings are correct first.

 

Can't access my PC

My question originally was INACCESSIABLE boot I didn't remember got the laptop back when I first tried to sign in it said it need to update. Well it reinstalled Windows all over again an that took about an
hour. I had to wait until it reached from 1 to a 100% and my question is does that matter or not??? At first I forgot the password an
checked my record an found it.. I entered it I get the Windows Logo with little circle that goes around like it going to open a page but it brings me to this page now that says :

InsydeH20

Setup Utility Rev 3.5 Accross the top it says:

Main Security Power Management Boot Exit

It a Windows 7 with Windows 10 installed

 

Do you connect Wired, or Wirelessly? If wired. Make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in to the jack in the back of the computer, make sure it is plugged into your router. Unplug your Router and Modem, wait a few minutes and plug them both in and restart your computer. Try changing out Ethernet cables etc.

 

the only way round it was finally a complete format and re-install after realising the Nvidia driver updates which was downloaded from Driver Detective is corrupting windows so I am using Microsoft basic drivers until I can get in touch with Nvidia also I am not going to use Driver detective any more as I have re-installed windows 12 times now and stayed up all night many thanks Spunk

 

I've never trusted a separate program to manage my drivers, and likely never will. It's such as easy process, so ditch Driver Detective and just install the updates as needed.

If you have a spare flash drive, just download the necessary drivers you need from another computer, such as video, network, chipset, etc. Then, when you format and install, you have what you need right in front of you.

 

I have now ditched Driver detective but when loading windows 10 after formatting and downloading windows update I restarted and all I got was a black screen so I reinstalled again and searched Nvidia downloaded the driver and all I got is a black screen

 

wired and all connectors are secure

 

I only accidentally formatted my windows 10 software usb so I its cost me £96.00 to order another as for my pc when I load windows 10 or retstart I still get a black screen graphics card is only 10 months old how would I know if its faulty

 

You don't need to buy a USB key. Microsoft provides software for free to licensed users. Your machine was fingerprinted and the software will activate. Assuming you have all your data backed up I would do a Clean install with new media. If you access to another Windows 10 machine you can use Windows Media creator to create a USB key or you can create ISO. A clean install deletes data.

Instead of reinstall all the time make images with imaging software so then you can put the system back in a few mins with no problems keep a few good copies so you can role back

 

... and an excellent software to use for Samuria's suggestion is Macrium Reflect. It's is free to Home users.

 

Last night I tried resetting my pc but it only got to 99% but it got to 4 am so I went to bed,Today when I tried installing the new windows 10 I get a message saying cant load windows until I restart which I did but when I do this I get same message over and over again so I cant get onto my desk top. the other problem I had the other day I will have to load down older Nvidia drivers and hopefully windows updates wont clash with it

 

If you are doing a Clean install, with your data safely backed up, Windows should not give you this type of message.

First disconnect your machine from the Internet so you know upgrades won't impact you. When you boot from your new media, you select install, then select custom. I like to delete all partitions and then let Windows recreate, for sure the OS partitions. This way you are going in truly clean.

Once yours Windows is up load your Nivida drivers if needed. Check device manager for version and if you have any unknown pieces of hardware. These can be googled and selectively installed. Then tell Windows you will handle hardware driver updates if you think they are causing issues.. To disable:

Right click on Windows Start
Click on Control Panel
Click on System and Security
Click on System
Click on Advance system settings
Click on Hardware tab
Click on Device Installation Settings
Click on No
A menu appears (first time) click Never Install driver software.
You may get a warning. Click the option that says I’ll take care of it (not exact words)

Then connect to internet and you can initiate the updating of Windows software. To reverse the driver change, should you want to, follow the instructions above only click "Yes". I wouldn't not until I at least had all the Windows updates in and a good Image backup made with Macrium Reflect. (Create their boot / recovery disk). Then if something goes wrong you can pull out your image and restore.

 

I followed everything u said but after downloading the graphics driver the screen went blank and this is before any windows updates so what do I do now
