@TW XT

you took the cmos(this will reset your date and time on the pc - well it should) out and now you've gotten to bios? what happens if you exit bios and try get into boot menu?

 

i'd highly suggest trying to reseat your ram, if you have two sticks or more, take them all out, try boot up with 1, see if it works etc and add a stick each time if it works to see if you have a dead ram stick, ram does sometimes cause booting issues like this, if you have one stick, try it in another ram slot if you have another slot for ram

 

as something to do with hardware(cmos) has gotten you a bit further, it could well be hardware related so see how you get on with the ram

yea try getting into the boot menu and see what it says, maybe it cant see ur windows installation

[dan]

also in bios go to that boot section and see what it says about fast boot and boot menu options, possibly able to boot to boot menu via bios

id suggest trying the ram first cos more than likely if it was a hdd or OS corruption, 90% of the time when you boot, the logo will appear and then itll say cannot see hdd or boot file in black and white so then you know the OS is fucked and needs reinstalling but in this case it's not reaching that point so my feeling is it's not a fucked OS, no harm in trying to reinstall and see if it works if you don't have anything important though!

It actually worked l0l

Yes, it was BIOS that was fucked up.

Why u started to install clean windows? If u can, stop it and boot the computer from the HDD/SSD where u have windows.

he still can't boot into windows so wants to reinstall but can get into bios/boot menu, no corrupt hdd or boot file msg so probs isn't windows being the issue, something hardware like ram probs

those POST beeps are hella important, those are error codes and tend to suggest hardware issues, take note of what the beep pattern is and let me know

 

ie one long beep then 2 short beeps etc

Its a short beep pattern and it beeps 2 to 3 times

[dan]

3 beeps could be ram 

first image you sent should show an hdd so yeah your hdd could be fucked

3 short beeps is RAM failure

 

Looks like it doesnt regonize any hard disk's either, atleast windows installation media doesnt regonize it.

Go into BIOS and see if BIOS regonizes the HDD/SSD, also show the boot options from bios.

 

If  bios cannot see any hdd/ssd's, buy external SSD and install windows there.

if its ram and hdd at the same time, mobo could be fucked, 2 short beeps which he said also is circuit failure I think so that explains it

@TW XT @Alcohol

 

Ok so realistically u could get the laptop work again, but is it worth it? I would definetly buy a new PC (not laptop, if u dont need laptop)

 

 

[Rushed It]
