Hi guys...I have an Acer E1 which started to bootloop. It would try to load OS(W8.1) but then the blue sad face pc crash screen pops up and then it try to load Auto Repair but all i get is a black screen...I have no USB restore setup (no optical drive on machine) so i decided to try a clean install...ive tried all the steps i found on this forum (deactivate secure boot, putting usb to boot first, F12 to choose usb boot, Rufus Usb Boot creator with a ISO i downloaded from windows media creator, Win7 Boot media creator, FAT32 format usb drive, bootsec.exe for 32 bit usb creation and many others). The wall im hitting is not that the bios doesnt detect the USB sometimes it detects it some times it doesnt(comes out as PNY Usb next to Usb hdd) but even when i set the bios to load the usb first it just doesnt run whatever is on the usb... I even use f12 to boot the usb and even when its detected it wont run whats on it. I even loaded the update for legacy bios and it would detect the usb but not load it. I dont know what else to try.
TLDR; machine detects Usb drive in bios but doesnt boot whats on it even when set to do so or chosen.
Affected PC: Acer E1 510
