hi, i am having a problem with Asus X551ca laptop which is stuck at windows 8.1 start screen and never goes ahead. boots into bios fine detects hard disk ram usb fine.
i ve tried replacing hard disk, ram, Cmos battery and updated BIOS version to the latest via easy flash but no luck.
it is not installing new windows too, boots from USB fine, starts installation as soon as reaches windows logo screen it gets stuck for life again.
Tried running windows XP live disk but that too gets stuck at windows logo.
Any help would be hugely appreciated. Regards
UPDATE:
latest update is i tried installing UBUNTU on the machine and it is working flawlessly. after using ubuntu i tried reverting back to windows and this time Windows 7, it loaded the installation files but when "starting Windows" screen appeared it got stuck again.
