    FAQ's:
    Q: I cant switch between Legacy/CSM and UEFI or switching didn't help.
    A: If you cannot find how to switch the setting in BIOS or if switching did not help, then reinstall the Operating System.
    How to install Windows 10: • How To Install Windows...
    How to install Windows 11: • How To Install Upgrade...
    If Windows does not install, perhaps your Hard Drive (HDD) is bad. I would then replace it and try the install again.
    Q: What if Windows does not install and keeps erroring out?
    A: If Windows won't install correctly, then we know that the Hard Drive is bad. Replace it as seen here; • How To Replace Asus Co... . Then, install Windows onto the new one.
    Q: Will changing those settings in BIOS erase any data?
    A: Changing those settings in BIOS will not delete any data from your hard drive :)

      Hi PCM... my Acer Aspire M shows the logo, then reaches 'working updates 99% complete Don't turn off computer'... it freezes! I've pressing esc, and f2, to no avail. I even detached battery and pressed the power button to rid of static...? Again, no luck. Where am I going wrong? Thx, RC

      @Mini man-roblox vidz If you cannot change the settings in BIOS, or if changing them does not work, then skip that step and try to reinstall Windows 10 as seen here; czcams.com/video/bIlW4im-tr4/video.html. You can create your own Install Media for free as seen here; czcams.com/video/g_UhiHScaSI/video.html. If that fails, then your Hard Drive may be bad. Replace it as seen here; czcams.com/video/tNp5Kbo9uHg/video.html and install Windows to the new one.

    Hi PC Monkey, great series of vids regarding PC issues, thanks ! Am in Australian and have been given an ACER M3-MA50. Was working OK till I tried to do some 'clever' things and it then failed to boot properly. I went through your CZcams suggested list, reseated HDD, check time settings etc in BIOS, etc. Finally decided to reload WIN10 64bit via your link to USB boot load option. This seemed to load OK but on removing the USB at end of the process and restarting the PC its is permanently stuck on the ACER logo screen with constant 'Getting Ready' message and moving whirl. Have not reset bios to make book from HDD yet, but USB is out. all help appreciated !
    Have previous to this seen DPC watchdog message but not since I reinstalled WIN10

      Perhaps the install wasnt 100% done or failed to take. I would try the install again. If it still fails, you may be looking at a bad HDD. I'd next try replacing it

    Hi. Thanks for the excellent video.
    I've got hold of an old Acer Aspire 8920, which can't find an OS by itself - and (when I boot from a Linux USB stick) restarts as soon as the OS starts running & desktop appears. Is this a hard drive problem again?
    The UEFI option isn't there in the boot priority
    Also, I tried a "frugal install" of MX linux from USB - the error was "No suitable devices found" - seems to have found an SDA1 , but with only 20Mb free...
    Many thanks

I got to the part where you are to check the hard drive and am now completely baffled! There is no hard drive in the computer! The area where is goes is empty! Is there an alternative hard drive format and location than the giant pocket beside the disk drive?

      As far as I know, this motherboard does not have a eMMC drive integrated into it. So you would need a Hard Drive. I could be wrong though.
      However, if im correct, you found the reason for the error. Theres no HDD lol

    I have a Toshiba Satellite (E45-B4106) that the battery was going. I replaced the battery with a genuine Toshiba battery, exactly the same. When I turn on the computer it gets stuck on the Toshiba screen. When I put in the old battery, and switch it while the computer is on (plugged in) it does not detect the battery. I tried all the basics- resetting the power, holding the power button down, uninstalling the battery in device manager but nothing helped. I had replaced my hard drive to SSD a few months ago, so that should not be an issue. What do you advise?

      If you cannot change the settings in BIOS, or if changing them does not work, then skip that step and try to reinstall Windows 10 as seen here; czcams.com/video/bIlW4im-tr4/video.html. You can create your own Install Media for free as seen here; czcams.com/video/g_UhiHScaSI/video.html. If that fails, then your Hard Drive may be bad.

    I have 3 hard drives. 2 SSDs and an HDD. Windows is installed on the stock SSD that came with my Acer Nitro 7. I’ve tried removing this SSD and installing windows via a USB Boot stick onto one of the other hard drives, but the laptop never progresses past the Acer logo. It boots to the usb, let’s me choose to install 64 or 32 bit, then hangs on the Acer boot screen after the loading files window closes.
    I’ve also tried resetting CMOS, switching RAM, trying different combos of my hard drives. Can not get this fixed.

    • @PC_Monkey
      @PC_Monkey  Před 2 lety

      Sometimes BIOS looses power for a moment, causing some settings to reset / change. Usually should not be a problem as long as it does not repeat. If it happens more frequently, you should consider replacing the CMOS battery as it may be failing.
      No, nothing should be affected negatively by having the correct setting in BIOS selected :)

      Hi! I had this issue 2 months ago, did a bunch of diagnostics (checked the ram, reinstalled windows) then it became more evident it was likely the hard drive (it changed to the blue screen of death). I sent my laptop away to acer and they apparently replaced the hard drive and it seemed to work fine for a week and a half but now it's back to the acer loading loop... If my hard drive was just replaced, what could be the issue? I'm at a loss. I just sent the thing away and it's back to where I was 😞

The Acer screen comes on and freezes for a while and finally goes to a blue recovery page that says: your PC needs to be repaired with Enter, F1, F8, ESC options. I’ve followed all your tips and nothing seems to work so far. It worked fine just last week. I don’t care to buy a new one but I have saved files that I definitely need to transfer over. Would installing a new hard drive delete all my saved files? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this issue for the first time today and had just found your video - however just as I was about to start following your instructions, my laptop (Nitro 5 ) decided to finish booting, got past the Acer logo screen and I was able to put my password in. I found that on the desktop there was a window open which was a Clock/Focus Session(?) which I hadn't seen before, so I think something to do with this caused the problem as I had never seen it before. Probably another Windows update :( So I went online and checked it, then found advice to uninstall the Windows Clock app which I have also done. This does not affect the laptop's clock which still displays the correct time in the bottom right corner. I hope this prevents the issue from happening again!
