dual boot with ubuntu 16.04 and windows 10 . none of them boots
I have had windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04 for a while and it never had any problem. but all on a sudden from yesterday i ccan not get into my computer. Neither the windows nor the ubuntu would boot. Trying to boot windows goes back to black screen and restarts in a while. tried booting into ubuntu it says load your kernel first . so far i have tried this few methods
Grub method:
set prefix to hd0,msdos10 (msdos10 is my root), then set linux / vmlinuz to root . however grub stuck here forever.
try ubuntu method:
inserted a live usb with ubuntu 18.04.1 selected the try ubuntu . while booted in tried to run the boot repair. but it kept scanning forever
install new ubuntu:
After all these i even tried to freshly install ubuntu 18.04.1 but at some point it gets stuck and waits forever.
I am kind of desperate right now

That sounds like a lot of partitions you have there. Do you get a grub screen with boot options? Without grub can you boot to Windows from a BIOS boot? Boot to Live Ubuntu and runsudo parted -l
and post output into question.

What happens when you try to install 16.04? Can you boot Ubuntu Live from usb and do some stuff there without the computer freezes?

Did you have an abnormal shutdown. You may have file corruption. And then you need chkdsk on all the NTFS partitions from a Windows repair flash drive and fsck from Ubuntu on all the ext4 partitions. askubuntu.com/questions/642504/…
