there is nothing wrong with the system. Load an operating system on it and it will boot. If you don't know how to do it, take it to someone to help you out.

How to Reset Your Windows 10 PC
By Avram Piltch, LAPTOP Online Editorial Director | July 20, 2015 02:17 pm
4699 312 MORE
If your computer isn't running the way it should, you're getting strange errors or you just want to return it to its default state, Windows 10 has your answer. The operating system provides a number of options that let you restore your computer to an earlier state. Here's how to reset your PC in Windows 10.

Navigate to Settings. You can get there by clicking the gear icon on the Start menu.
Select settings

Select "Update & security"
Select Update & security

Click Recovery in the left pane.
select recovery

Windows presents you with three major options: Reset this PC, Go back to an earlier build and Advanced startup. Reset this PC is the best option for starting fresh. Advanced startup lets you boot off a recovery USB drive or disc and "Go to an earlier build" is made for Windows Insiders who want to roll back to a previous version of the OS.

Recovery options

Click Get started under Reset this PC.
Click Get started

Click either "Keep my files" or "Remove everything," depending on whether you want to keep your data files intact. Either way, all of your settings will return to their defaults and apps will be uninstalled.
Choose whether to keep your files

Select "Just remove my files" or "Remove files and clean the drive" if you chose to "remove everything" in the prior step. Cleaning the drive takes a lot longer but will make sure that, if you are giving the computer away, the next person will have a hard time recovering your erased files. If you are keeping the computer, choose "Just remove my files."
select clean drive option

Click Next if Windows warns you that you won't be able to roll back to a prior version of the OS.
click Next

Click Reset when prompted.
Click Reset

Windows will then restart and take several minutes to reset itself.

Click Continue when prompted.
Click Continue

Thanks. I didn't need to reset my pc. I searched for info on Google and someone suggested that it might be a malicious software since it's a new system and I downloaded malwarebytes. Scanned my pc and it Uninstalled a couple of suspected apps. rebooted to see if the problem had stopped. I eventually found out it was the uc browser and chrome. They weren't authentic. And voila, the issue stopped.

Just post any problems you are having with your pc here. The more software related, the better. smiley

If you're having virus, worms or any other malware problems. Try scanning your PC with RoboSAM first.

The boot option shows you are yet to complete the setup for Windows. What happens when you select the setup option?

an MSI installing gone wrong can easily cause this. Try rebooting

What is your operating system. Anytime you have this kind of problem, always provide some background to make it easier to attend to. Can you open task manager and show a screenshot? Your PC could have a malicious software.

The MSI installation was broken and you need to find an uninstaller to completely remove it.

If it makes noise when it boots, it could be that your keyboard is faulty. Try blowing all the keys with strong air or use an external keyboard and see if you can proceed.
