Blank screen after logo at startup
Hi,
I have a Lenovo Flex 2 15 Model 20405. Yesterday, I decided to reformat my laptop to Windows 10. On the near end of the installation, it prompted me to restart the computer (it restarted itself after 10 seconds), but after the Lenovo splash screen, I get a blank black screen.
I recently came from an Ubuntu OS, not sure if it changed the BIOS settings.
I have tried the following instructions bellow. I was successful in rebuilding the BCD, but when I restarted my computer I am still stuck at blank black screen.
Code:bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup c: cd boot attrib bcd -s -h -r ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old bootrec /RebuildBcd bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot Remove the Rescue CD and try rebooting now.
Other things I have done so far:
- I've checked the hard drive from BIOS, it's reading it properly.
- I've tried resetting BIOS to defaults.
- I've run chkdsk.
- I changed the boot order priority (HDD first), I tried other boot order as well.
- I switched between UEFI and Legacy Support
- Pressed F8 (or FN + F8 ) to bring up Safe Mode, but nothing showed up.
- I can boot from Windows Installation disk. I tried all troubleshooting options like Refresh and Reset, but I get the message "This option is not available in the OS you selected" - must be because Windows 10 did not finish up during installation so there's nothing to refresh or reset.
- I have tried installing other Windows OS like Windows 7 and 8 but still getting the same black blank screen.
The laptop has a built-in battery which is why I couldn't remove it to reset CMOS settings.
I have been working on this for 3 days now, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
