Avast Free Addition Restart Now my Computer will not boot up Help !

[REDACTED]

I allowed Avast to restart my computer now I cannot get into Windows 8.1. I get to the point where I would normally hit enter and nothing happens it seems as if the keyboard and mouse are not working. I can get into the f2 setup mode where the keyboard and mouse work great but past that nothing. I tried plugging another keyboard in and the USB ports are not working either. I tried to boot into safe mode Windows key and I, I am being told no boot device found. All of my  college work and boots are stored on this computer. Please tell me there is a fix?

Scroll down to "If you cannot  Boot the computer" and follow the instructions.

So your documents and so are on that system....
Where is your backup ?
You will loose everything if the drive breaks down, the house burns down etc.
ALWAYS have a recent backup of data !
