Resolved:

Having too many USB devices connected to a machine during shutdown and/or start up can cause problems with your BIOS.

Disconnecting all of my un-necessary USB gadgets and completing the following

search "cmd" -> right click + run as administrator type "bcdedit /set useplatformclock true" and press enter. (w/o quotation marks) Restart computer and your problems should be fixed!"
Fixed my problem completely. I was able to reattach USB gadgets after the restart.
