Windows 10: start up, automatic repair, & everything else fails

Hello.
I'm not sure if this is the best subforum, the bsod subforum, or another, so admin can feel free to move it if this is not the best subforum. I have searched & searched this issue recently however nothing I've found as possible solutions worked, and I figured with my luck I'd screw it up more if I continued lol

Suddenly a few days ago I was playing my Xbox & noticed my laptop with Windows 10 (I upgraded it to Windows 10 online via their free upgrade from 8 thing) restart. I kinda thought it to be weird because I was pretty sure it just updated the day before, but I just figured it must be another one. When it finally got restarted & to the screen to enter my password, the graphics (the background pic) was flashing weird, kinda reminded me on maybe keys stuck. It wouldn't keep from flashing long enough to enter my password, ctrl alt delete did nothing, along with esc, & anything else I tried. I finally had to turn it off via power button. I waited a minute & restarted but got the blue screen saying windows couldn't start.

I have tried all the options, to no avail EXCEPT I do have Windows 7 on it too. I can boot into Windows 7 (I'm using it now) with no problem. Also from what I can tell when I'm in 7, looking at the drive with Windows 10 on it, it seems to definitely be there. In fact I can open up my files (on the 10 drive) as usual from the Windows 7.

A REALLY odd & scary thing is that one of the 1st choices I tried was to restore back. The 1st time I chose it, it gave me my restore points. I chose one, etc etc. It seemed to take forever and I think it said it was successful, however when it went to reboot it came back up & said the same bs as before... Now if I go to restore. it shows NO restore points!!!

Of course I have also tried the system repair option, but it failed too. Now usually when I restart it, it tries to Automatically Repair, but fails.

Tell me what to do next please. Thank you very much for your help & assistance.*Mad
