Chosen Solution
I was attempting to play Left 4 Dead 2 on my laptop with some mods, and when I opened the game I wasn’t able to use my mouse or the keyboard. The game wasn’t frozen but soon after I decided to hold the power button down to turn it off. Ever since I haven’t been able to get past the boot up screen. I’m not willing to take the laptop apart myslef, but I can’t seem to find any solid way to fix this online.
This is either a problem with the drive or the operating system, you can find this out witch it is in a few ways. 1st you will need to get the Windows ## install media, this needs to be done on a working Windows computer, just go to Microsoft.com and search windows ## media creation tool, you will need a 8GB+ USB drive. 2nd load into the bios, (when booting and the acer logo pops up try pressing f12 to enter the bios [may be different it varies from machines] if that doesn’t work look on the manufactures website to find out how to enter the bios) once in the bios change the boot order to USB drive as first priority and save changes and power off 3rd insert the USB drive with the windows install media and power on the computer, now try to fix the current widows install if available, if there is that option it should fix any problems with the current Windows install, if not then the drive is dead.
