The problem
Booted into Windows 10

Magician wants to reboot
When attempting boot there is a black screen and then fans stop after 5 sec, following automatic start again. This boot loop continues 3 times. The 4th time there is a UEFI boot message on the screen. This message freeze and then the reboot cycles starts over again. Keyboard does not respond.
Solution
After reading this:

I tried to recover bios holding in power switch in the front of the ATX case while switching on and off the ATX power switch 3 times. Viola it did actually recover the bios to an old version. Now i needed to update the bios again to the latest version.
Conclusion
Don't use Samsung magician to update firmware on Gigabyte Z77 main boards.
