Windows 10: windows 10 boots to bios

My computer is a tough gaming rig with an intel I5 processor.

Last night I shut down my computer normally. This morning, I turned it on and it went to a black screen, showed:

>>checking media presence.....

>>media present

>>start PXE over IPv4


Then loads into bios. I have tried all the trouble shooting options using my restore disk, went to the command prompt and typed in c: then dir. It shows everything correct. I ran chkdsk/f which it said it couldn't run as the disk was mounted and asked me if I wanted to demount the disk and continue. I did. It found no errors. In bios, It shows windows boot media if that's the correct words on and off. Sometimes it's there, other times it just shows the drives. I had hair when I got up this morning. I am now officially bald.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

bios

Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

Windows stuck in automatic repair; Can't access BIOS/ boot menu

I've changed the boot order through both BIOS and the boot manager, as my original post stated. Neither did anything, but both were functional in the past. Neither listed the windows boot manager, either. Previously, it would boot just as expected whenever
other media was set as the first option, so I'm pretty sure there are no issues there.

As my original post suggested, I've already tried out the steps you gave. I've gone through all the options listed in the boot menu, UEFI or not.

My BIOS and boot menu settings were at their defaults when all of this started, so that's been tried already, if those are what you're referring to.

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
