Laptop won't boot, stuck on start up screen.

[Di1997]

I have sony vaio laptop, last time when i was using it, it eventually froze. So i hold power button for 10 seconds. Now it won't boot. I've googled my problem, didn't help. I've tried to remove all attached devices, start it without battery or HDD. Still don't work. This problem happened before when my AMD driver crashes. After some time it recovers, i still can't figure out the problem.

Do you get the bios screen, anything? can you get into the bios at all? if so, can you see hdd in bios?

You can download the win 10 media creation tool on another PC and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB or DVD

If you can access bios, see if you can change its order to USB and see if the installer works (Don't install win 10 again, just curious if it boots it)

If anything on laptop you want to rescue, try this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/

Well... The problem is that i can't access bios settings, it stuck at "Entering Setup". I've tried to launch my laptop without HDD, DVD Rom, RAM. Still didn't help.

I suggest as a last resort,you possibly unplug the cmos battery and laptop battery overnight and start the system without the cmos battery in the morning. Also try the 30 second reset without cmos battery plugged in. Good luck.

Well... I've tried without laptop battery over night, didn't help. And CMOS will be difficult, since it requires me to fully disassemble laptop. I guess i'll try to remove CMOS battery now

Edit: I think that this might be a bad idea since i don't have necessary instruments to deattach motherboard

Laptop turned on after i left it on start up screen for some time. It worked for 5 minutes before it froze and turned off. Any ideas why this could happen?

I don't know laptops well enough to be sure, it might be your hdd or something else at this stage. Since you don't want to take it apart (completely understandable) I would get it fixed by a repair shop.

This is a Vaio with same behaviour: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2044323/laptop-shuts-mins.html

Laptop is turned back on again, no crashes so far. I don't know why this happens, but after a crash it become unusable for some time

Well, I think that it might be a battery's problem. Recently laptop worked well and I decided to test something. I tried to play 3d games without battery. After some time it just turns off completely. When i use PC with battery, after some time it freezes, sometimes with a message that all drivers crashed. After that PC turns off and i can't boot it for some time (stuck on vaio logo). If it crashes without battery i don't have that problem. Any ideas why this can happen?

Speccy tells me that battery is in a good state. VAIO shows this message because it's old one and with memory effect

Any ideas?
