Windows 10 upgrade gone really wrong! Laptop ruined? Plz help!
Hello everyone,
two days ago my laptop "decided" to upgrade itself from windows 7 to windows 10 by itself.
The laptop restarted saying that Windows 10 are going to be installed. So, I left the laptop to complete the installation and went to do some chores. The problem is that when I returned, my laptop was in an infinite restart loop. The screen turns on, a white underscore appears on the top left of the screen, the Num Lock light on the keyboard turns on, and that's it! The screen then turns off and the same thing is repeated non-stop! No windows logo appears, at all!
I tried the following things:
- entering safe mode, but when I press F8, my laptop will eventually do a beep sound and nothing happens. The non-stop-restart thing continues.
- entering BIOS settings. This works, but I don't see how this alone can help me solve the problem.
- booting a USB clean installation, with USB boot being the first option selected in the BIOS settings, but nothing happened.
- using the HDD recovery boot (selected after pressing F12), but again nothing happened.
I managed to take a copy of my files from the hard drive (through another PC). So HDD is fine, I guess.
Is my laptop dead or what? :S
