I have a new yoga 2 11 (not yoga 2 pro, just plain yoga 2 11) with me which I got a few weeks ago. It comes with 500G Seagate HDD. In the past few days I've tried to migrate the HDD to a SSD (Intel 530 180G) without any success.
The problem is: after the migration and swap of the SSD, I can start from the SSD without any problem, but in a few minutes, sooner or later, the system will freeze and a few seconds later, the famous BSOD with some message saying "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED". The laptop will try to restart, but instead of booting up, it gives out a message "no bootable device, press OK to continue". I have to press the power button to turn it off and turn it back on, then it will boot into windows, then back to the freeze and BSOD cycle. The BSOD cycle is random, some time I can get 20 minutes out of it and some time it won't even fully booted up.
The laptop comes with windows 8 x64 standard, and I updated to 8.1 with all the latest windows updates.
Here is what I did so far:
Used different software to migrate the system to SSD: easeUS/Intel migration/Paragon OS to SSD, all gives me the same results. When using paragon, the BISO found two EFI device with exactly the same name (although there is only one SSD in the laptop, but the SSD contains 3 partitions). I have to use the recovery USB stick which built with paragon's recovery media builder to do a automatic "correct boot parameters (boot.ini, BCD)". But whether two EFI device or one after the above step, I got the same BSOD problem.
Also, Lenovo support sent me a usb stick suppose to be the recovery media, but the system won't even boot up from it. The USB stick has "Microsoft" engraved on it, and the sticker on it says "windows 8 smscrn touch w/h&s 2013 for Lenovo".
The Intel SSD has been on my other desktop for a few months and I have it fully tested and there is no problem with it.
Also, when talking to the Lenovo support, it seems that my BIOS is not correct or corrupted:
In the "security" tab, the "secure boot status" is always "disabled", I cannot change the value by change various other fields. The "platform mode" is always "setup mode". The "secure boot mode" is always "custom". All three of them are greyed out, cannot change.
In the "boot" tab, the "boot mode" is always "UEFI", it is greyed out and I cannot change it.
Can anyone have a yoga 2 11 please confirm this? If you can post some screenshot about the BIOS? My BIOS version is 92CN30WW(V1.10), EC version is 92EC30WW(V1.10)
Thank you
