uffbros Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I have a friend's HP Envy computer with Win 10 Home. He called and said the computer won't boot. It just sits with the HP Logo on the screen. Tried to reboot and it goes into diagnostic mode and fixes nothing. I tried 3 different USB install flash drives that work on my rig and it just boots to the HP Logo screen. I went into the BIOS and everything is ok. I took out the ram modules to see if it was ram...not that. I tried both Legacy and UEFI install drives..no boot menu. This machine has a SSD for the boot drive and a SATA 7200 rpm mechanical drive. I swapped out the boot drive with another 2.5" mechanical drive and get same results. I have tried everything..I been doing this for 22 years. The computer is only a year old. If it was motherboard I wouldn't get into the BIOS would I? I tried all 5 USB ports front and back. What would a shop check next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehdibleu Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 hello, have you checked whether "secure boot" is enabled or not ? if so, you have to disable it. if you intend to install windows in legacy bios, make sure to disable UEFI in the bios and don't forget to save the changes before leaving the bios.

uffbros Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 @mehdibleu..Yep..did all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debebee Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 1) Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port and turn on the computer. 2) Immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup Menu opens. 3) Press F9 to open the Boot Device Options menu. 4) Use the up or down arrow key to select the USB flash drive, and then press Enter . NOTE: If you cannot select the USB flash drive from the Boot Menu, disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy Support in BIOS. For detailed instructions, see the Disabling Secure Boot on a notebook computer (Windows 8). After saving the changes, the computer will request that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and pressing the "ENTER" key. You may also have to set "System Configuration" > "USB3.0 Config in Pre-Boot" to "Auto" in the BIOS.

Pequi Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 What are you trying to boot with ? Try a new Linux Distro burnt to the USB with Unetbootin or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uffbros Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 But I took the SSD out of the equation and put in another working drive to troubleshoot and same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a 750-520 and his is a 750-524. I never need USB 3 drivers added to install .iso. Win 10 I'm sure has them already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jime234 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 did you try bios reset ? by removing the cmos battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp68terr Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Strange indeed... the pc should boot from the bootable usb drive when requested to do so! In order to try to use something as close as possible to what was installed/working on your friend's machine, are your USB boot drives also based on win10/win10pe?
