I have an Asus Notebook X501A and it has just happened to me; I am running Windows 8.1 and I have done nothing at all that may have caused this.

Here's what I did that was succesful:

1/ Select the Boot menu in the Aptio setup utility, select 'Launch CSM' and change to enable
2/ Select the Security menu n the Aptio setup utility, select 'secure Boot Control' and change to disable
3/ Select Save & Exit and press 'yes'
4/ Hold down the power button until the unit switches power off completely
5/ Switch back on and continually press the F9 button for about ten seconds; this should now allow the unit to boot up into the Windows Recovery menu
6/ Select 'Advanced Start Up' and wait until the recovery menu appears
7/ Select ' Advanced Options'
8/ Select 'System Restore' and select a date prior to when the problem occured

System Restore worked perfectly for me; good luck

Have the same problem.

I did steps 1-4 and now it goes straight to an intel rapid memory storage page. I can press ctrl+i to enter a menu in which I'm offered the options of deleting RAID volume or resetting disks to non-RAID. If I don't press ctrl+i it carries on to a black screen with red dots at the top. On the RAID page it says that an 'error occurred' on the first of the two Sandisks.

I'm arranging for Asus to repair it, unless anyone knows what I should do now?

What if I don't have the option to enable "Launch CSM"? The words are there but it's shaded so it won't let me change it.

I have the same problem. Did steps 1-4. Now it goes to a black screen that says "insert boot media" and no amount of pressing F9 at any point is doing anything. What now? :-/

I switched the boot configuration as stated but when I restart and press f9 only a PXE error screen comes up. The only thing I can do from here is restart and reopen the patio setup utility.

I have been having this same problem. My Asus is stuck in this mode. The instructions to this seems simple enough to follow, but mine will not highlight Launch CSM. It is [Disabled]. Pressing any F buttons or a combination of the Window + doesn't do anything either. Is there something else I can try?

Thanks a lot Provman! It helped me a lot!

LachLang -- same thing as you describe happening to my son's ASUS zenbook. Did you have to ultimately repair (we have the Microsoft warranty), or did you find a different solution? Thank you.

Thank you! I was searching the Web and trying everything until I found your answer. I have a Asus X555 and it crashed. I have a 1TB hard drive partitioned into 2 500 GB drives. Once it crahed all I got was the looping "repair" screen. I tried CMD prompts and nothing worked, I was ready to wipe the drives clean. I have Windows 8 so I stopped at your line #6. I tapped F9 until I got the startup screen, shut it down, inserted my TodoeaseUS Recovery disk and portable hard drive and its loadind now. I stress the importance of making Windows recovery disks as well as third party disks with a portable hard drive you back up regularly. Windows will get you back to the start and your portable hard drive will restore your last save. Thanks.
