Hi, my gaming rig has always worked just fine and just now I ran into a issue. I was sitting doing homework and wasn't even touching my computer (it was just sitting with Google docs, UPLAY, and Rainbow Six seige open) and it randomly blue screened. Windows automatic lyrics ran some disk and system repairs but they all said they failed, I triedon't shutting it off and rebooting, I also have a ssd with Windows cloned onto it but that won't boot either... I think my onlu option is to reset my pc and reinstall windows but would really prefer not to because my internet speed is crap and it would take me weeks to reinstall my games.... plz help!

Odd both drives won't boot, did you check the boot priority in the bios??

do you have a win 10 installer? its handy as a boot drive

is there anything on C drive you want to rescue? try making this on another PC: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/

are the games in steam folders? you can move them to the other drive and re use them once win 10 is reinstalled (if that is needed)

does PC just try to run auto repair if you start it now? or does it show a black screen with a flashing cursor?

if its the 2nd, try this
change boot order so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose...
