I started upgrading to ubuntu 17.10 from 17.04 and then for some reason I shut off the computer. When I turned it back on, it showed "GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta3-4ubuntu7". When I type in boot it says "you need to load the kernel first". "Exit" brings me to the bios and "normal" don't bring me anywhere. When I try to boot from bios i come to grub. (I boot from "ubuntu (P1: Kingston SUV400S37240G)". The other boot option is only the name of my SSD which brings me to the "boot properly blah blah"

Try the following steps:
ls [to see paritions] Then ls root directory of each, to find the one linux installed on. e.g:
ls (hd1,6)/ [let's assume linux is installed here] linux (hd1,6)/boot/vm [===> press TAB to auto-complete] root=/dev/sda6 initrd (hd1,6)/boot/ini [===> press TAB to auto-complete] boot Hopefully! in linux:
sudo update-grub grub-install /dev/sda If, for any reason, you couldn't make grub work. Install Boot-Repair:
Your situation almost certainly indicates that the upgrade process was only partly completed, and your operating system is damaged in a way that can't be booted. The only practical solution to this is to do a full install (of 17.10, back to 17.04, or even of 16.04 LTS).
Done with the proper choices during installation, this need not damage data stored in /home, though it certainly can -- if you have the ability to do so (say, by booting a Live media OS) you should back up any data you want to keep before proceeding.
