Lenovo Y520 stuck on Logo

[yurxtherandom]

Well, first My Lenovo Y520, when I turn it on it just, keeps spinning the circle. Before it was saying Automatic Repair or whatever and then it just turned gray. Now I try and turn it on it spins for a while then turns black then goes black then goes back to the Lenovo logo, I'm not much of a tech person but I went into the BIOS settings and tried messing with a few settings there like the boot menu and it "restarted" my computer but no luck it just went into the gray screen. It's a gray screen I can still see that the display is on but nothing is showing not even my cursor.

Note: If this problem started after an update (or system reinstall), please make sure the laptop is not connected to the internet in any way before you use the following instructions.

Try the following...

1. Power off the laptop.
2. Power on the laptop.
3. As soon as you see the rotating loading circle, press and hold the Power Button until the computer shuts off.
4. Repeat this process a few times until you see the "Preparing Automatic Repair" screen.
5. Now you want to let the laptop boot to the "Automatic Repair" screen.
6. Click "Advanced Options" and then select "Troubleshoot".
7. Here you want to select "Refresh your PC", if you do not wish to erase data, or "Reset your PC" to erase all data and restore your system.
8. From here just follow the screen instructions until the recovery is completed.

NOTE: You will need to get into the "Advanced Options" in order to get the "Refresh Option". This choice will keep your data, but any programs installed will be lost.

Do not do a "Reset" as that will wipe all data you have on the laptop.


Another version of this is the following...

1. Power off the laptop.
2. Power on the laptop.
3. When screen turns black, hit F10 and ALT repeatedly until the computer shuts off.
4. To fix the computer you should choose the second option listed.
5. When the next screen loads, choose the option "Reset Device".
6. Now choose which ever type of reset you wish.
7. Your computer should now restore itself to "Factory Settings".

NOTE: If you get a message saying "Error Resetting Device", then you should have the computer looked at by the manufacturer (if still under warranty) or by a tech.

I've tried both but nothing works.

Then I would suggest you have the device looked at. By either the manufacturer, if it is under warranty, or a local tech.
