(HELP) Alienware X51 R2 - Recovery

So I was reformatting my PC and the power went out halfway thru the reformat and now I have this blue screen of death saying "YOUR PC NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED"

Is there anything I can do about this? Or what do I need to do to get this fixed?

1. So I was reformatting my PC and the power went out halfway thru the reformat

 

2. and now I have this blue screen of death saying "YOUR PC NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED" Is there anything I can do about this?

 

3. Or what do I need to do to get this fixed?

1. This is why any desktop PC should always be on a good UPS-battery (like APC) ... especially for a core procedure like this.
 
2. Start over.
 
Once you verify hardware is still good (like with UEFI diags), try again. If your Recovery Partition is corrupt, you will have to "clean install" Windows to a working but blank drive.
 
3. If you are asking this question, you should probably contact Dell for help. If you are out-of-warranty ... seek help from qualified computer technician or shop.
