Hi there, I don't have the best knowledge of computers, and any help is greatly appreciated,

I previously updated from windows 7 to windows 10, and got everything working fine, but the other day, i was trying to look for Bluetooth settings and noticed they were missing, played around in device manager and couldn't find Bluetooth, so i entered bios and found a tab in advanced settings saying "Bluetooth enabled" i clicked it twice and it disabled and enabled. Then i did Save changes and restart, the computer would turn on but the screen would stay black. The only way i can get it to work is if i Clear CMOS, press F1 to enter bios(the only option) and then in bios, discard changes and exit.

I tried updating BIOS at this point, but they have no P8P67 updates for windows 10. I tried windows 8.1, it installed, and than when restarting, it wouldn't turn on, it went in a cycle turning off and on.

Now, unless i clear CMOS, (press F1 to enter BIOS) discard changes and exit in BIOS, the computer will not turn on.. any other attempt to boot the computer will result in the computer attempting to boot for a few seconds and than powering off, and repeating. until i unplug the power.

side note: I have tried loading optimized defaults in BIOS

specs

Motherboard - P8P67
OS - Windows 10
GPU - AMD Radeon HD 6900 series
processor - intel i7-2600k

Any suggestions and help would be awesome, thanks!

I upgraded to windows 10 with my personal computer as well. I do remember having a terrible time with the drivers and having to fiddle with them for quite some time before everything worked.

[I feel like somehow I managed to run them in compatibility mode] or downloaded the windows 8 drivers if there were any.

Best case is to copy your data off the computer and re-install windows 10. Nvidia's graphics driver was the worst.

But from what I understand, I cant do a clean reinstall of windows 10 without having to restart the computer.

When the I boot up the USB to install Windows 10, and click install now, it tells me the following, "A media driver your computer needs is missing" and gives me an option to browse to select a driver. I tried looking everywhere for a solution and could not find anything that worked.
