Why is my Nexus 7 stuck in a bootloop and wont go into recovery mode

I have a Nexus 7 2012 which is unlocked. I was trying to flash it back to stock android (because it was previously rooted) but my computer crashed before it finished. Now when I try to turn it on it gets stuck on the Google screen. I am able to get it into fastboot mode by holding the volume and power buttons; but when I try to boot it into recovery mode, it shows the Google screen again with tiny writing in the top left corner that says "Booting failed". In the top right corner it still says "Recovery mode" and I can change it to say "Power off", "Start", and "Restart bootloader" as well. I am trying to get into recovery mode so that I can Hard Reset my tablet in the hope that I can get it to start. Does anybody have any advice? It would be extremely appreciated.

use fastboot to flash the factory image. that'll get you restore to factory and will allow you to boot back up.
