It may be an update issue as the windows usually updates from time to time. I didn't do any settings on it prior to the time it started misbehaving. Presently, it misbehaves and shows the BIOS error like 3 times a day. If I switch it off, it starts working normal again FluxEmpire: |

I tried methods 1 and 3 but it didn't work. Couldn't try 2 because I don't know where the battery is. I guess inbuilt. Couldn't try 4 also because I don't have a screwdriver to open the laptop. The screenshot is the result I got from method 3 post=114204932:

Osnami:If a windows update gets interrupted, it could mess up the laptop, some peripherals may not work well. It's still OK, it's the regular windows update though and not an update you got elsewhere because the last update you need from a 3rd party is a BIOS update which could brick the motherboard and spoil it for good. If you turn on the laptop, when it gets to the windows homepage, do this: - ensure you have light and charge the laptop - if you don't, ensure your laptop has a good battery and it's at 90% minimum because the update takes a lot of time. - ensure you have enough data (3gb recommended) - connect to your WiFi - go to settings, windows update and click on "check update." - Let the update run from the beginning to the end (always take note that the update has 2 stages; download and install) - there would be a driver that would tell you "RESTART" after it has downloaded and installed before the others...do not restart the laptop till the last driver downloads and installs - wait for the last driver to install even when others might be done and saying "pending or pending restart" before you restart the laptop. - Patience is key and as such when running the update, it'd be best not to do other things like watch a movie on the laptop so as not to drain the battery quickly if you're running the update on battery. - once the last driver has finished installing, click on the restart you see below the drivers, then the laptop would restart - never click on the power button when it seems the laptop is in black background, the main update is happening. - once the automatic update has gotten to 100% and it gets to windows on its own, then you can use the laptop. BEST IF YOU RUN THE UPDATE OVERNIGHT WHEN THERE'S LIGHT; WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR PLIGHT, SIR. If you're using a Dell laptop, dell support assistant would be your best option to download and run your update as it gives a detailed tip of what your laptop needs to update and fixes some issues...but that being said, it depends on the dell laptop in particular because not all dell laptop can utilize the dell support assistant tool. My apologies for the long epistle. |

Osnami:Likely your operating system isn't the factory one, and as such, you need to "DISABLE SECURE BOOT" which is below the legacy support you disabled; then use F10 to save and restart the laptop as you can't have secure boot enabled with UEFI if you're using a 3rd party OS. |
Re: Boot Device Not Found by FluxEmpire(m): 9:37am On Jul 03, 2022 |
A RULE OF THUMB WHICH GETS MANY CONFUSED - Legacy and UEFI are both different OS modes - Legacy is for old laptop models mostly, UEFI is for recent laptops - Their user interface are different - Legacy uses MBR partitioning, while UEFI has GPT partitioning - You can't select legacy support mode using UEFI options and vice versa - If your windows was loaded by a 3rd party UEFI mode, ensure that you disable SECURE BOOT because if you don't do so, your laptop won't recognize the OS (Operating System) on it as it's designed to recognize what the manufacturer installed on it. - Leave secure boot enabled only on Legacy mode... - It'd be actually good to know if you got your laptop brand new or from a vendor; which is akin to knowing what OS was installed but on a general point to note, you're using a Spectre; that comes with UEFI mode on default. Legacy mode is more like downgrading it and might cause fluctuating issues like missing icons on your taskbar, windows taking time to load..etc OP. you can't be using the IPV 4 OR IPV 6 or IPV 4 + IPV 6 UEFI mode and still have secure boot enabled if your OS was a 3rd party... It won't boot. It'd likely show you: - no operating system found - boot device not found - direct you back to the BIOS Like I once told you on the first page, you need to know if your laptop is recognizing your storage device...that should be at the main tab of the BIOS page that displays the RAM size and info of the laptop. Why the OS boot manager is not displaying in the BOOT page is likely due to you leaving the secure boot on ENABLED. Disable secure boot and check, Sir. |

Osnami:Just install a new operating system, you could buy the adulterated ones for N500 (trust me, 75% operating system in PCs used in Nigeria are from this adulterated software) |
Re: Boot Device Not Found by Udemzy05: 10:08am On Jul 03, 2022 |
Osnami: On that page,locate legacy support,enable it and click on F10 to save. Then 4 numbers will appear on the screen, press it on your keyboard and click enter. Now the thing is if your laptop operating system was installed via legacy, it won't boot on UEFI mode,so you have to enable legacy mode. Now if after this your laptop still can't boot to windows, it's either your operating system is corrupt or your laptop is not seeing the HDD. To confirm if it recognises the HDD, click on f9,you will see the name of the HDD or SDD depending on the type it is using. |

MarveworldG: Not all, especially the new laptop, you can use the adulterated ones,your product key will make it genuine,they use product keys. |
Re: Boot Device Not Found by MarveworldG: 12:54pm On Jul 03, 2022 |
Udemzy05:True |

Kaxmytex: Chief, am experiencing the same issue at the moment and I need the laptop badly. My question is how did you fix yours? What's the permanent solution? How does the bootable flash drive help? |
