My Asus K60ij Will not boot properly, Help please.

[Senvirith]

The only way I can get this computer to stop looping the Asus logo, is to insert a windows 7 repair disk into the CD ROM, and mash Esc until it gives me the booting options, which of course I choose the repair disk, it then takes me to System Recovery, which gives me a few options, I've used every single one and turned up empty handed. Except, when I run Memory Diagnostics, it loads up the test, I can then cancel it by pressing escape which in turn restarts my computer and from there it boots up perfectly to the log in screen. I would really like to fix this problem so I can install my windows 10 without the risk of my Windows 7 repair disk not being able to boot the laptop up again, because it will be windows 10. Thanks in advance if you have any clue how to fix this.

but you might need to try this first tedious but thorough


MEMTEST

Thememtest you will need to make a bootable disk / stick and set the BIOS to bootfrom the optical or USB and it will take a fair time to run- some leave itovernight.

Thisis the current version http://www.memtest.org/ pleaseuse this as any other test is useless - the Windows one sadly is not worth evena thought about.

Sofor example if you have say 4 slots and 2 sticks and get errors you need totest #1 stick in #1 slot if no errors then move on to test #2 stick in #1 slot.That would mean to me the problem lies within a slot because no errors witheither stick have thrown errors.

Then you move on to #1 stick in slot#2 no errors then stick #2in slot#2 noerrors - repeat the process in slots #3 and then #4 with both sticks until theerrors come up. Running each for 8 passes as you can imagine is very tediousand will test your patience.

But it has to be done simply because if the errors do not come with eitherstick in slot #1 then as I said it points to a faulty slot.

Having said that this does not happen very often it is usually the sticks thatare at fault.

Butone thing is very important you must let the test run for at least 8 passes any less and thefindings are no good. Now if errors come up straight away then you can stop it- see my pics. With more than two sticks the process is even longer as one mayrealize.

Itis a very lengthy and tedious process but worth it if you have errors.
