Samsung laptop doesn't boot after downgrading to Windows 7
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this question, but i'll post it anyway since it's a big problem for me.
I wanted to help a friend of mine by downgrading his Windows 8 laptop.
I installed Windows 7 x64 by DVD without any problems.
I've formatted al drives.
After the installation the laptop tried to boot, but it only shows a black screen after the BIOS splash screen.
Bios settings:
Fast BIOS : enabled
AHCI Mode Control : Auto
Secure Boot : Disabled
OS Mode Selection : UEFI and Legacy OS
The laptop is a Samsung NP355E7C-S04NL
The BIOS version is: P02ABF
The HDD is set up as the primary boot device.
The strange thing is that if I use the Boot Override option and select this HDD, Windows boot normally!
Of course this only works once, so I always need to go into the BIOS to use the boot override option.
Does anybody have any experience with this problem and maybe a way to fix it?
