    Failed Win 10 pc format attempt - now pc wont boot?


    I attempted to format a Win 10 pc but it stopped formatting (came up with a Windows failure to complete message) about half way through and now the pc wont boot up?
    I can get into the motherboard (MSI) Setup utility, and from a different computer I downloaded a "Create Windows 10 installation media for another pc" onto a USB drive.
    I then went into the Setup and changed the Boot Option Priorities to 1st Boot to USB Hard Disk.
    But when I reboot, nothing happens...it still just loops around a black screen.
    Any suggestions to solve this? Apologies in advance for my lack of pc knowledge!!

    :)

    PC wont boot

    Sounds like the CMOS isn't clearing. Try this (in the following order - don't skip anything):

    1. power down PC
    2. remove power plug
    3. move CMOS clear jumper
    4. remove battery
    5. press power switch several times
    6. wait at least 30 seconds
    7. insert battery
    8. move CMOS clear jumper
    9. plug in PSU
    10. power on PC

    If this still doesn't work, try doing step 6 for longer periods of time (12-24 hours if needed). Also, veryfiy the CMOS clear jumper's position with the manual to make sure it's not in the wrong position to start with.

    After you get the PC to boot, go back into the BIOS and make sure none of the "bad" settings are still there.
