I have a windows 8 acer switch 11 laptop that just went into blue screen of death. Specs: http://imgur.com/a/QqSyx

I've experienced problems with it for years, where it'll sometimes just shut down on its own, and on few occasions get the blue screen of death. The usual way I fix this is by inserting a paperclip into the reset hole on the side of my laptop.

However this time it's different. My laptop shut down, and opened with this: http://imgur.com/a/YoH4I (I found the image on google, it's the same)
then with this: http://imgur.com/a/0B4Xn (another image I found on google, it's almost the same but on my laptop says 'press windows key to try again' instead of 'press enter to try again... press f8 for startup settings'

Doing the paperclip method will just close my laptop, and when I open it by pressing the power button on the side, it starts off as normal with the loading screen then follows through with the previous 2 images I pasted. Holding my power button closes my laptop, and when I re-open same things happen.

Any way I can fix this problem on my own?

EDIT

I tried doing some stuff on my own, and now there's an even bigger problem. I decided to press f2 while re-opening my laptop, and it sent me to some place called 3.7 setup utility. I exited it, but before that clicked on something.

Anyways now when my laptop opens I get this screen: http://imgur.com/a/mvOL9

Pressing any key gives me this: http://imgur.com/a/nEey9 (same screen from before, but this text appears underneath the 'no bootable device when I press a key)

Pressing enter takes me to a screen that says:

3.7 SetupUtility Boot Option Menu (up arrow) and (down arrow) to change option, ENTER to select an option

But the only thing I can do on that page is press esc which takes me here: http://imgur.com/a/zzKjT (every time I press a key an extra line appears)

After that I can just re-start my laptop and the same stuff happens all over again.
