2 days ago, I replaced an XFX 7870 2gb with the GTX 1070, added the 500GB SSD, and added 8gb more of ram (crucial ballistix). Everything was working fine until this morning when I tried turning my computer on. I was prompted that Windows was repairing itself and tried to diagnose the problem.

It failed to diagnose itself, so I was lead to this:

I tried wiping the harddrive that Windows 10 was installed on (120gb Kingston SSD), but it was stuck at 3% and never went up.

I also can't even load into the BIOS. I tried resetting the CMOS, but that brings me to this screen where it doesn't seem to be responding to my keyboard:

Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.

Have you updated your bios?

No I didn't. I'll definitely try that if the problem comes around. That's something I should have tried.

Ultimately my solution was opting for a different mobo. I got through BIOS and it was detecting all of my HDD/SSD. I installed gparted on a formatted flash drive through my laptop (used rufus to format), and booted to that usb in the problem computer. Through GParted, I deleted all the drive space on both SSDs (I left my Barracuda unplugged until working). Windows was on my Kingston SSD.

Then I reinstalled windows from another USB with the Windows Creation Media tool that you can download from their site. Windows successfully installed after the second attempt (not sure why first didn't work).

After everything booted up and seemed to be working properly, I turned my computer off and plugged in my remaining 2TB HDD. I booted up the computer again and the computer seemed to be running fine.

I just went with the disc the mobo has to install the drivers (no internet). After that I installed every driver for my peripherals and GPU. An hour later, I had installed 80% of my previous applications back on my computer. Fortunately the Samsung SSD was brand new and only had one file on it.

I'm trying to give a step by step so hopefully this can help others if they run into the same problem. If I had the old mobo in and updating the BIOS worked, then I wouldn't have needed to swap mobos. So all the hardware seemed fine and for some reason windows just died.

Here is the tool I used to download Windows 10 to a USB (you do not need to format this with rufus; creation media tool does that for you):
