Our Certified Repair Technician takes you through the steps to diagnose any software or hardware issues that could be causing this problem.

Thank you for the video! Instead of selecting reset this pc, I select advanced options- then startup repair. Finally no more "preparing automatic repair" or blue screen. And I did not lose any files, too.
Excellent!!! Glad we could help:)
Well I watched this and I got to the 'press escape part and suddenly my laptop that hadn't responded to ANYTHING, including 2 computer gods (imho), suddenly went black and a new message splashed across the screen... 'undoing changes'. Waited 15 mins and presto chango my laptop responded. I don't know what happened, but thanx! I had just about given up! You saved me!!!!!
Glad to hear it đđđ±âđ
Good job đ
thanksđ
Hi! Please help! I has to change in bios from ssd to ahcifir Linux installer to recognise ssd, following acer forums, finished the install sucesfully but after restart it wont boot. Just hangs on trying to recover. Cant go to other options. Please, help!
Did change the boot order back to what it was after installing Linux?
When I hit Alt and F10 during boot up it pops up please wait then goes to a pure black screen. I let is sit there for about 20 mins and nothing happened

This loop happened to me day two of opening my acer nitro 5.. Iâm just resetting everything since itâs day 2 but should I be concerned? Is it gonna happen again tomorrow? itâs not a great first impression of this nitro 5 but weâll see
In computers we say "if it happens once it is a glitch, if it happens twice it's a problem". Glitches are ok sometimes computers just have a one time error. It's only a problem if it keeps happening because then it could be a sign that something is failing like your operating system or Hard Drive. If it doesn't happen again it should be fine:)
solid video dude thanks
Thanks!

I have an Acer Swift 3 Laptop. When I try to boot, it shows the Acer logo and then turns off. It shows Preparing Automatic Repair on further attemps but turns off immediately. After several attemps, it does boot up. But when I turn off my laptop for some time, and then try to start it again, the same things happens. What should I do?
What steps from the video have you tried so far?
@@EggheadFixers I have tried Resetting while keeping my files, but the error started again after a week. I am not very good with hardwares so I haven't tried checking for RAM.
@@sudhanshukumar7538 It could be a RAM problem. You could also try reinstalling the operating system. If Windows is too corrupt it won't reset correctly.

Unfortunately there are not a whole lot of great options. You can take out the hard drive and hook it up to an external hard drive port to pull the files off then you can save what you have.

Every time I reinstall windows after a few days it becomes a problem again. I think it is the hard drive. Is there a way to check?
Did your hard drive pass the diagnostic? My first guess would be your hard drive but if it passes the diagnostic then my second guess would be a windows update. When you reinstall a new operating system it looses all the updates. Over time windows will reinstall all the updates. If there is a glitch with one of the updates then it will cause a boot loop error. Let me know what happens with the diagnostic:)
Egghead Fixers What do you mean with the diagnostics? Do you mean when it says diagnosing your pc?
@@ahmeda7405 Sorry I thought I was on a HP video which have built in diagnostic. My guess is it is a Hard Drive problem. You can always buy a Hard Drive with a return policy if you find it doesn't fix then you can return it.
If it doesnât fix what is the last option?
@@ahmeda7405 My second guess would be its a software glitch in that case the next opiton would be googling your model and reading through forums to see if there is a common glitch with your model. Also if you upgraded to WIndows 10 then rolling it back to the previous operating system is another option. Can you boot up in safe mode?

Hello, I unplugged my RAM many times, and the hard drive as well. Nothing seems to work. I tried the BIOS as well and even the Legacy thing. A little background, 3 months before, every time I open my laptop it would just be a black screen. I have to keep restarting it until it flashes the ACER logo. This problem was fixed when I changed the RAM to the other port. And now similar problem is happening however the RAM trick is not working. It is taking so long to load as well and I cannot reset my laptop because it says 'There was a problem resetting your laptop'. Now I'm trying to find solutions on how to fix this reset problem but I doubt the problem would be fixed. Any ideas?

What is the cause of this automatic repair???
It's usually because there was an error during startup that the computer is trying to resolve. If it can't resolve the issue then you end up in a boot loop.
I donât have a reset this pc option
In that case I would reinstall the operating system. It accomplishes the same thing as a reset only it even more effective. Here is a video on how to do that:
