No bios

[Tarzan]

Hi,

 

So a week ago I tried to install Linux Mint on my laptop (he had W10 TP on it). After the installation, I unplugged the USB falshdrive but doing so (a little early I think) it showed some error. When trying to boot, it wouldn't boot. But at this point I still could enter the BIOS. I tried different things, but after changing to UEFI, now I can't access the bios, and nothing happens:

 

With the HDD: it shows only the logo screen (Acer travelmate), no bios access, nothing happens.

Without the HDD: it shows the logo screen but only a fraction of second and then there is a black screen with a white dash in the upper left. It doesn't flicker.

 

The only command working is CTRL ALT DEL, it justs reboot the system.

 

I tried booting through USB but nothing happens...

 

I connected the HDD to my desktop, and it seems ok. I cleaned it using diskpart.

 

Any help?

It's an old laptop, I used it only to watch movies in my bed or to try Linux distros. But I still want to fix this!

I don't know why manufactures do this but it is infuriating,

 

on new Windows 8 Pre-built machines, for some reason the firmware splash screen does not any of show the hotkey's. (I know this my laptop does this, the hotkey to get into the firmware on my laptop is ESC)

 

If you can remember the hotkey to access the firmware just mash that and it should take you into the firmware, otherwise just search something like this "brand model get into UEFI at boot"

 

After that make bootable USB's for waht ever OS'(s) you want to install on that system and install them in UEFI mode (UEFI booting)

try to find some kind of "start dirctly into bios"- software on windows 8

it is some kind of super speed startup thing that only works under win8
