dac2k5 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hello everyone!I recently purchased a new g75vw, which came preloaded with windows 8. I proceeded to downgrade to windows 7 (on an added 128gb samsung 830 ssd), which proved to be quite the task in itself. During this task, I updated the BIOS from 217 -> 223... Windows eventually got installed through a USB, and could not boot under SATA setting of AHCI. Running the computer in IDE worked, but I wanted the benefit of AHCI.. so today I figured I'd research and try to figure out. I eventually got to the point of resetting to "factory defaults".. low and behold, now the computer instantly boots to bios. It -will not- boot anything else, it doesn't show either hard drive or cd drive in the boot options (though they show in the sata configuration page). I can get a USB stick to show in the boot menu and options but it own't boot those, it just goes right back to the BIOS..Help?Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtuck3r Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If your BIOS has safe boot you will first have to disable that. Second is to enable legacy boot, or in Asus' case i think it's like PXoE or something.Dug this up from a different forums:- Enter the BIOS setup menu by pressing and holding F2 key when powering on.- Switch to "Boot" and set “Launch CSM” to Enabled.- Switch to "Security" and set "Secure Boot Control" to Disabled.- Press F10 to save and exit.- Press and hold ESC key to lunch boot menu when the notebook restarts.Source: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?26826-Windows-8-Automatic-Repair-Loop-%28G75%29& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Treichel Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 when i first got my g75vw, i spent afew hours trying to figure out how to get it boot into win7. i had no access to the internet during that time either so i had to play with the bios. but the instructions above should solve the booting into windows7 problem.
