Windows 10: [URGENT] MSI GL62M REX bios bootloop

Hello,I urgently need help getting my msi laptop to boot properly again as I desperately need it for the exams I have tomorrow-wednesday.Last night there was a windows update that seems to have messed with it somehow I'm not 100% it was the update but it seems likely timing-wise. The laptop only boots to the bios and I cannot seem to get out of it.I have one NVME HDD C: - Lite-on Technology - 256GB on which windows is installed and one SATA SSD D: - Kingston - 120GB on which I have all my uni- and other important files stored. I don't care as much about the first drive since it only has

MSI bios boot logo (frozen?)

If you have any USB device connected, disconnect for now.
Go into BIOS:

1. At boot time, the BIOS is checking for all devices attached to the PC, turn off the MSI boot logo under boot menu so you can see the text displayed of each step and note which device is hanging.
2. Under Advance->Windows 8/8.1/10: Enable MSI Fast Boot so that BIOS will bypass checking most devices that are none essential for booting. This will improve the boot process. Note that this is different from fast boot that you set in Windows.

Some third party drivers that you downloaded from the MSI website might not be up to date, try to download the latest driver(s) from the original manufacturers such Intel Chip Set, Network driver etc....

 

Bootloop after RAM upgrade. Reset BIOS?

The machine is MSI Titan GT80 SLI.

I triple boot Windows 10, Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

I had 3x8GB RAM modules installed. I added one 1x8GB for the total of 4x8GB of RAM. Ever since then the machine start bootlooping. It goes to the bootloader, to the entry that I created with bcdedit and then does not boot and repeats the cycle.

Both Win10 disks do that. They are identical.

My 3rd disk has Ubuntu on it, it boots and sees the 32GB installed. No issues.

I can get to the BIOS, it can see 32GB of RAM.

I get into Ubuntu Linux by hitting F11 during the boot cycle and then selecting the Linux SSD.
I used to be able to do that for the Win10 disks, both of them and no longer can.

I've read that I have to reset CMOS, is that so and if so, how? Via BIOS or via jumpers?
I just don't want to break anything on top of this.
