X220t does not boot anymore after a few times running, does not get past BIOS

I just bought a x220t and want to use it with Win8.1. I had before upgraded my x201t to win8 with no problem at all.
After a few succesfull runs in wich I do the patching it stops booting completely. I can't even push F8. It will only go to Bios in witch I have fidled a bit, but nothing works. I have tried a fesh install for three times. It does boot an USB DVD drive with the origiganal win 8.1 disk, but it can't fix my problems.
I have an I7 version whith Intel 160GB ssd. I did a lenovo check, all clear, I dit an Intel SSD check, all clear. Unfiortunatiely I have delated the restore partition. I am on the latest BIOS (1.39)
Sometimes I get in to the Lenovo boot menu, with no result. I want to rip out my hairs!
Any help?

Hi thomas1921,
Not an answer to your specific question, but I'm very surprised that a BIOS update would break DVD booting. Have you tried pressing F1 at boot to get to BIOS Setup and examining / changing the boot order? Or pressing F12 at boot to select the boot device? (Think the F12 feature must be enabled in BIOS Setup.)

  • IMac won't boot anymore after power cut

    Thanks to the great storms in New Jersey, my iMac does not boot anymore after a power cut. Does not get past the apple logo screen with the spinning wheel and keeps rebooting every 2 minutes.
    I was able to mount the HD via Firewire on a host machine and the disk seemed fine.
    I booted from the Install disk and ran Disk Utility - seemed fine though I could not verify the disk permissions ?
    One other thing - I seemed to remember the white light (front bottom right) was blinking before during start-up. Now it goes and stays black after couple of seconds.
    Help please,
    Philippe

    HI Phillipe and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    If you haven't done so, try running the Apple Hardware Test.

    I doubt repairing disk permissions can't help this problem. It sounds like a hardware issue.
    *"I booted from the Install disk and ran Disk Utility - seemed fine though I could not verify the disk permissions ?"*
    When you ran Disk Utility via Firewire, did you actually Verify the hard disk for errors?

    unable to bootup after Yosemite install. have to keep shutting down from rear button. it does come on after a few times but then hangs at user login again. If you get in it is great. Seems faster than Mavericks but there is some sort of issue, bootup /login.

    Knock on wood, this seems to have been my problem as well.  I stumbled on this thread after dealing with this ridiculously-long boot times for the past several weeks.
    I just reinstalled McAfee Antivirus and my Macbook Air booted up in less than 1 minute.  No more hanging on the boot-up progress bar.  No more hanging after I click on my user's avatar on the log-in screen.  Bootup would often take 5+ minutes and sometimes never complete.
    This has been SUPREMELY frustrating.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING YOUR RESPONSE!!!

    Recently my MacBookPro locked up on startup. Could not get past a certain point of progress bar. I had upgraded to Yosemite few weeks back, with no issues. I ended up doing a Recovery with Time Machine and I got all my apps, photos, documents, etc. back okay --- except I got error messages that my "registration for Photoshop (I use CS4 Extended) and Photo Mechanic are no longer working".  I worked on Photoshop first, and tried (several times) to fix it with their online help suggestions.  Nothing worked.
    Is there a simpler way to "get my licenses/registrations back"???  I am also going to contact Camera Bits about the Photo Mechanic issues.   Thanks

    Same problem and for months now. I haven't been able to find a solution, but I suspect that's because I don't know exactly what's wrong.

    You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.

  • Adobe audition cc crashes after a few times of recording(please help)

    Okay so Adobe audition is incredibly useful or should i say WAS... It was great until one day it just crashed after a few times of recording. I just thought maybe something went wrong whatever ill re do it. But no.. for months ive been trying, uninstalling and reinstalling, updating, closing all other programs running but nothing has seemed to do it. Audition is really important to my music career and lately i havent been able to do anything because it doesnt work. Im begging, can someone PLEASE try to help me, im desperate.
    heres a pic of what happens when it crashes:

    I notice from the picture that you have four files in the middle of processing. Do you remember what they were doingwhen the crash happened? Were they saving or did you have some effects processing going on?
    Also either Audition or Windows may have saved a crash report somewhere which could help to diagnose the problem. I am not sure where they may have been saved but others might remember where to look for them.

  • My MacBook Pro pwers up but does not get past the the Apple logo.

    I have a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion.  It powers up but does not get past the Apple logo.  The hardware test did not reveal any problems.  It will also not get any further when I try to start up in Safe Mode.  The last thing I was trying to do was connect to it from my desktop which I have done before.  Any ideas.

    I was able to get into the Repair utility and resolved some Permissions problems.  It verified the disk and found no problems.  However, it did not resolve the issue.  I was also not able to get into Safe Mode.

  • HT4623 I can not get past the license agreement and term and conditions page after updating my i5 IOS

    I can not get past the license agreement and term and conditions page after updating my i5 IOS

    Restart your phone and if that doesn't help, reboot the device.
    Restart the iPhone by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPhone by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the phone start up.

  • I can not get past the setup screen on my reader. What am I doing wrong?

  • IMac will not get past chime & white screen

    iMac will not get past chime & white screen. I have tried all the start up key combinations I can think of (d or c etc) with a start up disc, but no joy. The disc drives seems ok - you can hear it working & it will eject OK.
    Any other start up ideas, please?

    Have you tried a safe boot? If not, hears how (it's straight from Mac Help):
    To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
    Be sure the computer is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
    Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
    To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.
    To learn more about Safe Boot check this page:

  • K410 with geforce gtx 760 not getting to BIOS

    Hi,
    I am trying to get a Zotac geforce gtx 760 to work in my Ideacentre K410. I am meeting all the stated requirements (power, cpu frequency, RAM, disk space). The power supply and Graphics card work in another machine, but in the Ideacentre K410, it will not get to BIOS during boot., when this graphics card is attached. I have been in contact with Zotac, have been through the tests they suggest, and in the end they suggest I try the motherboard / BIOS supplier.
    Any Ideas ?  I have already tried :
      reseating RAM, testing RAM, reseating CPU with thermal paste, hoovering out dust (both sides of motherboard), reset CMOS,  BIOS (Video Setup : Auto or PEG).
    Any ideas of how to get this graphics card to work or am I asking for something that is not possible.
    I have looked in the Hardware Maintenance Manual, and seen the list of graphics cards. But I am hoping to find a better one than those listed.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Using a free download of Windows 8.1 RTM, I installed on an empty disk, it created a GPT Boot partition with two boot loaders. After this 8.1 was installed, if I added the Zotac GTX 760, the machine was not able to boot to BIOS, but would eventually boot to window 8.1.
    The machine was sold to me with WIndows 7.
    I don't know whether I can configure the boot loader on the Win 8.1 disk to launch the Windows 7 on the original disk. or whether Windows 7 will recognise the graphics card.
    Good Luck to anyone else !

  • Pages 2.0 will not get past the "getting started" screen

    i just updated pages to 2.0 on ipad 2 retina (ios 7.0.2) and now i cannot open pages, it will not get past the "getting started" screen
    has anyone else experienced something similar?

    Had the same problem. This sovled it for me:
    Just let it load.
    In Keynote, I didn't have so many documents, so the freeze didn't take too long- that's how I noticed it's just a freeze while loading.
    For pages it took much longer. You can also turn off iCloud in settings for Pages, Keynote, etc. open it, re-enable iCloud in settings app again and quick switch back to pages (double-click home button). It will freeze up again, but after a while after all documents have been pulled from iCloud, it will be back to normal.
