Stuck in Aptio Setup Utility

[breakin411]

So my Asus T100 which I've had about a month is stuck in Aptio Setup Utility. I closed the lid, and a couple hours later upon opening it, it displayed the Aptio Setup Utility screen. No matter what I do on the screen, any thing I do just seems to reboot me back into the exact same screen. I can reboot the tablet and turn it off and on, and it continues to reboot into the Aptio Setup Utility. I have no idea what to do.
I attached a picture below of the screen.
Hope you all can help, I really like this tablet.

Here are a few things you might try.

Attach the keyboard dock and from that same setup screen go to "Save & Exit". Then select "Restore defaults" (may not be the exact wording). Then "Save Changes & Exit".

That may not work, but it's the quickest thing to try.

Hopefully this will work...

After "Save Changes and Exit" keep hitting the f9 key while the T100 reboots. Hopefully you can get into the system repair screen (it takes about 40 seconds to load). Under "Troubleshoot" you should see an option to repair the system if Windows won't boot up. You could also do a Sytem refresh or full system restore if that doesn't work.

Thanks for the response, I gave it a whirl, but after the "Save Changes & Exit" I get a brief black screen and then almost immediate book back into the Aptio Setup Utility.
The Restore Defaults either doesn't do anything or is immediate. I'm at a loss here. I really don't want to send it in to ASUS, I would love to fix it myself.

If you hold down power to shut it completely off, I believe tapping the f9 key at startup will get you to the recovery screen. I'm not certain exactly which function key but from there you should be able to try a refresh or as a last resort a factory reset.
