Alienware stuck in Restart Loop after reset

I haven't been able to get to the BIOS, but there is a quick flash of the option to hit F12. not sure if would work, but I'll try the USB thanks!

Good luck! Just spam tap F12 as soon as you hit the power button.

I got to the BIOS, and i have window on a USB, but i'm not sure i'm choosing the right boot option once i'm in. I've never had to do this before. Any chance you could tell me which of the files on the windows download it's supposed to boot from?

I assume its the boot folder, but beyond that, i can't tell. 

If you downloaded Windows onto the USB correctly then you shouldn't have to worry about any of that. You just need to go into the boot menu (F12) and select the USB to boot from. Windows will start loading automatically

It worked, thank you so much!

Awesome! Good job

EDIT: If you had Windows 10 installed on the laptop before then the new install should auto-activate as the product key is embedded onto the motherboard. It should say Activated with a Digital Licence (or something like that) in the settings. 

EDIT #2: It won't auto-activate if you try to select a higher version than the one you had previously. You can't get Windows 10 Pro activated if you only had the Home version before. 

"You just need to go into the boot menu (F12) and select the USB to boot from."

I don't have this option. How can I force it? I have only Windows Boot Manager, Onboard NIC IPV4 or IPV6, or disabled. Can you advise? I'm having the same trouble on an Alienware desktop. 

Recently, I had this happen again and have had it happen many times to me. I have figured out a way to resolve this issue. There are different ways to resolve this specific issue but it depends on how you have your system configured. If you have it configured for secure boot, the methods cannot use a USB drive to boot the machine. If you have the issue and you don't use secure boot, you can reset your PC with a USB drive that was made as a restore drive. If you are using secure boot, all is not lost. Sometimes if you can the machine to partially boot, all you have to do is hit F8 and go into safe mode. Once you are in safe mode, the corrupt or missing driver can be reloaded. Sometimes automatically. The next time you restart, the computer may boot properly. If this doesn't work then try something that worked for me. Hit F2 get into the bios set up. Go to secure boot and delete all the definitions and set the USB options to disable. This is scary but when I did that, a new secure boot definition was automatically created and the PC booted up like nothing happened.
