Friends, i am in great trouble. I have windows 7 and 8 in my system. I was working with windows 7 and suddenly the electricity gone. My poor ups also couldn't resist. My system got shutted down suddenly. (my ups battery is already under trouble-it does not provide any battery backup to me).
Now come to my problem. When the elctricity has come, i switched on my computer. But it shows BIOSTAR logo and keeps on restarting. It does not goto boot entries.
Pls help me. What should i do? Step by step procedure is most welcome. What i have is a bootable pendrive with windows 7 in it. I need urgent help from you guys.

You can try repairing windows from the booted pendrive. If that doesnt work and u dont have important files on windows 8 u can install 8 again on the drive which would replace the boot partition.

and if the HDD gets detected check for bad sectors ( use HDD manufacturers diagnostic bootable app for this ) and also check the ram modules using memtest86+ app.
