Windows 10: Windows 10 keeps looping me through automatic repair after resetting BIOS to default...

Ok. I'm about to lose my mind this is so frustrating. Let me start with specs:


Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x

RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200mhz

GPU: EVGA GTX 1660 6gb I think? Maybe 4


I built this setup probably about 9 months ago and had it running with literally no issues pretty much since then, up until the last week or so. I'd been having some real instability issues and random crashing of the entire system. I figured maybe I should go into my BIOS and tune down the voltage on the CPU that I had pushed up a bit when I built the system. Bad idea. At least, I should've freaking saved my current settings before I did anything. I booted into my BIOS and loaded the optimized settings. Again, bad idea. What is it they say? If it ain't broke don't fix it? I guess it was kind of broke before but now it's REALLY broke.


I save my new "optimized settings" I did reset my ram clock speed to 3200mhz though, the optimized settings placed it at 2100 for some reason and rebooted. Booted into Windows automatic repair, it did it's thing for a moment then my screen read that "windows automatic repair could not fix your issue" and directed me to a log file also very frustrating because how am I even supposed to see the log file if I can't get into the OS?. I then proceeded to spend the last two hours rebooting and trying every freaking option I could in the advanced settings of windows automatic repair. Finally I conceded and figured I might just have to reset the OS. I go to reset the OS from the windows auto repair menu and guess what? I get "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made." Or something to that effect. I can't even reset the PC now.


Also something to mention, I couldn't even get to Windows auto repair every time I rebooted. Sometimes the machine would turn on and I'd just get either a red CPU issue or white GPU issue LED lit on the motherboard and absolutely no image on my monitor. In fact, as I write this, I'm looking at my very expensive PC displaying no image at all on my monitor with an evil little red LED looking back at me.


I learned my lesson: probably shouldn't dig around in my BIOS without either knowing exactly what I'm doing, or at least saving my working configuration first. How do I fix this and get this machine back up and running?

Windows 10 Automatic Repair Loop

I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO file. Put it on a USB drive, and reset my BIOS to boot from USB/Disc. The computer still boots up to the starup repair screen and into the same loop as before. I do not get the Automatic Repair screen you talk about. Next
suggestion?

 

Automatic Repair Loop

Hi,

Unsuccessful installation of an update could be a possible cause why you are experiencing the automatic repair loop. To address this concern, we suggest running the Startup Repair tool using your bootable USB. This tool can scan and repair damaged system
files. Follow these steps to run the Startup Repair tool:

• Insert the bootable USB and boot Windows 10 from it.
• In the Windows Setup page, select the language to install, Time and currency format and the keyboard or input method and click on Next.
• Click on Repair your computer and select Troubleshoot.
• Click on Advanced options and select Automatic Repair and select the operating system. You might also require changing the boot priority in BIOS in order to allow the computer to boot from CD/DVD.

Important: While scanning the hard drive if any bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair that sector, any data available on that might be lost.

Note: Modifying BIOS settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications
of the settings are at your own risk.

Keep us updated about the result.

 

Windows 10 Automatic Repair Loop

Hi

I have a Lenovo Y50-70.I have upgraded it to Windows 10 as soon as it is released. After upgrading I felt that my pc is slow, so today i installed Windows 10 SL from a DVD. When I restarted after installing a couple of softwares, it ran into an infinite
loop which shows preparing automatic repair. None of the solution given in automatic repair works. So I have just installed the Windows 10 again. And the same thing happened. The loop came back. So, i reset my pc as suggested by automatic repair. Now after
this repair, my Laptop booted just fine but after installing a couple of softwares and drivers, it went into that loop again. Now i am really frustrated and in need of help.I can acess the Bios.

Thank You.
