Hello guys,
I need some help. Today I tried to install Windows 8.1 on my PC using an USB flash memory stick.
I managed to boot from it and install the OS but when the installation restarted my PC, this issue came up.
The PC is stuck on BIOS screen. I can't enter into boot menu or in BIOS setup.
What I've tried so far:
1. Removed CMOS battery and put back - nothing.
2. Removed RAM and started PC without = 3 beep sound. After I've put them back, same thing.
3. Removed HDD' Sata cable = Was able to pass the BIOS screen.
So it looks like the problem should be the HDD. With the SATA cable removed, (or removed from BIOS and SATA connected) I can pass the BIOS screen. Power cable is ok.
Also, if the Sata cable is connected, the BIOS screen tells me my HDD is connected and gives me some info about it.
What can I do? Thanks in advance!
