Laptop POSTs but continuously powers off and back on after format

[Jeremy De Cola]

Hi,

I just formatted my HDD on my Samsung Series 7 Chronos Laptop because I was having major issues with Windows 10 Tech Preview v9926. I tried installing Windows 8.1 off a flash drive and everything went smoothly until I would try to boot Windows and my computer would get stuck in an infinite loop of restarting itself. I then tried to install Windows 7... same thing.
Unfortunately, I also formatted my recovery partition like a dumbass and I have no clue how to get anything to work now...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,

UPDATE: BIOS is detecting the HDD and it is first in the boot sequence.

Check your boot order in your bios, is the hard drive the first boot device?
Is bios even detecting the drive?

Hi

What windows was on the laptop before win 10 preview?

A Samsung recovery windows disk with correct version & drivers may work
If this does not work test for hardware problems

A check with memtest86 to test ram
then test hard drive with manufactures software

Hirens boot cd has a collection of bootable hard drive test images and wd datalife guard for windows ( works with most brands of hard drive)

-It was originally Windows 7, then i upgraded to 8.1 for a few minutes and jumped straight to 10.
-As I mentioned before , I accidentally deleted the recovery partition that was there.
Is there a way to download an ISO for Samsung Windows 7 Recovery somewhere? Then I should be able to boot that off of a flash drive and see if it works!
