@matsaki95 it's usually the Delete key for me, but it doesn't even get that far .-.
And I can't afford a hardware fault... fml -
Well... You could pull the bios reset pin.
It's inside your laptop near the flat shiny battery (not your laptop battery) or sitting beside the bios chip.
Just take it out, reboot, shut down, put it back in.
(Will erase settings in bios. Using the "load defaults" option should fix it) -
@ewpratten i'll try that, if I find the right tool to open my laptop (the screws are incredibly tiny)
Thanks for the tip :) -
@matsaki95 thanks for the hint
I'm at a friend's house now, he might have a toolset that I can use -
You could try what happens if you boot without the hard drive. Maybe it's related to UEFI Fast Boot.
-
@electrineer I'll try that if resetting the BIOS doesn't work, thanks for the suggestion :)
-
devTea240946y@Krokoklemme you should try what electrineer said first, it’s easier to take out the hard drive then reset laptop bios

I didn't see the OEM logo showing up.. Can you tell us what did you change before? Also, if you have other peripheral connected, try disconnecting them.
-
@MrCSharp the Asus logo does show, maybe I just missed it one the video
And before that, I only added my USB stick as a boot option and set it as the first one, nothing else
And the only peripherals I had connected were a mouse adapter and the pendrive. Already tried it without them attached, didn't change anything -
DaveLV186y@Krokoklemme So did you succeed? Another thing you should maybe check is did you set up the windows install for MBR or GPT.
-
@DaveLV still haven't tried yet tbh ^^'
And I didn't set it up for anything, I used the Win10 Creation Tool
And I don't think it's Windows' fault, since I currently have Ubuntu running on it and it's still not booting -
@Krokoklemme alright... so the OEM logo shows up then it goes to a blank screen? is it possible for you to remove the hard drive temporarily just to see if the BIOS/UEFI is going to complain?
I know you probably did this, but did you try to go into the BIOS/UEFI settings and revert the boot order changes you made? -
@MrCSharp I have yet to try removing the hard drive
And that's the thing: the OEM logo pops up, black screen and then nothing
I can't even *get* to the BIOS to do that .-. -
OK, small update: for the love of fucking God, I can't seem to find anything to open that damn thing...

OK, today I tried to install Windows 10 on my laptop. The laptop was working fine, until I tried booting from the stick
Now I can't even get into the BIOS, even without having inserted the stick
https://streamable.com/tsp4n (that's me trying to boot it)
Does anyone have a clue why and how I could fix it?
question
not booting
i'm clueless
