I have tried 3 motherboards so far, it will boot to BIOS if I press ESC when I first turn on the laptop. BIOS reads 6GB RAM. There is only one removable RAM slot and it currently has a 4GB stick in it of DDR3. Initially I thought that the embedded RAM was faulty so ordered a replacement board for it. It has the same problem. Even tried one more board, same problem. Boots back and forth between the ASUS board splash screen and the Windows 8/10 logo. Then it says it will try to repair but ends up going back to the ASUS screen to the Windows 8/10 logo screen. It keeps doing that until I shut it down. The obvious things that all 3 boards had in common were the CMOS battery and the 4GB RAM stick. Ideas?

if it was a faulty RAM, you wouldnt be seeing the windows logo in the first place. you would hear a long beep.

looks like your windows is corrupted but its fixable without losing data. try pressing F8 during boot and select recovery OS but if its not supported by your laptop. you will need to get a Windows installer to help you repair it. you can go to this site and follow instructions there. a usb drive (at least 8GB or a write into a DVD). onc eyou have it. boot your pc. press F8. and slect the usb or the dvd to load from. select Repair. troubleshoot. command prompt. type "sfc /scannow". restart.

if not fixed. try startup repair.
if still not fixed. system restore.

if it still fails. remove your hard disk. attach your SSD/HDD...

if it still fails. remove your hard disk. attach your SSD/HDD to a SATA cable of another computer or a SATA to USB adpater. and copy your files there.
reattach your ssd back to your computer. boot from your windows installer. install w/ keep data files option b ut if windows complains it cant do what u asked just do a fresh install (remove everything). make sure you select the partition with the largest size. we dont want to remove the recovery partitions and the other ones specifically designed for your laptop. format. install.
