I can't get passed the bios, no matter what I try

I recently went on a vacation, and left my pc I built about 3 months ago uploading. When I came back and turned my monitors on, I got nothing. So I naturally restarted it, an got the Asrock logo and the little loading spinner, but it never booted to windows. It usually takes like 5 seconds. So I went into bios to make sure everything was good with the boot drive, and tried again, and all it said is 'preparing for self repair' or something along those lines. Then the screen went dark, and I left it there for roughly 15-20 mins. Guess what? Nothing.
What I have tried:
Clear cmos, three times
Unplug all usbs
Tried to reinstall windows, but it just gave me the windows logo, and went dark
Checked my connections
Put my ram at 2133mhz
Removed graphics card
Unplugged my hard drive (windows is on my ssd)

System specs:
Core i5 7600
Mobo Asrock b250m-hdv
Psu evga 500w bronze
Gigabyte gtx 1060 g1 gaming (recently installed, but worked through several restarts)
8 gb gskill 2133mhz ram
Kingston 120gb ssdy
Seagate 1tb hdd
Win 10 pro
Also, keyboard and mouse don't work after you pass the point where you can still enter the bios.

I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me out, thanks!

Right, so I guess I don't really understand what you mean. I already have windows on a USB drive, my question is, is it possible to install it on my hard drive that shouldn't have windows on it, but may have traces, without wiping it, and starting with and empty drive

Yes it is, your drive will be wiped, just launch it through the usb and when your starting windows there should be an option where to install windows.

Yeah, so that helped, now I can boot it to the windows USB drive, to try to reinstall. I want to reinstall windows on my hard drive. It told me that was in the gpt format, and it couldn't install. I looked this up, and I was wondering if there was a way to format it, and install windows without wiping my hdd. Also, once I do get it installed, can I move it to my ssd.
Thanks

You cant format a piece of hardware that contains the OS running on it. You need to install the windows ISO file on a disk/boot drive and launch it from there. This will format the system automatically.
