Lenovo Yoga 2 stuck on boot screen! :(

[tina89]

Today, my computer a Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop running windows 8.1 64-bit, stopped wirking. When I start my computer, it will display the Lenovo boot screen and the rotating dots will rotate a while and then freeze. I've resettet the BIOS but it did not help and I can not take out the battery as it is some kind of built in battery.. My computer does not have a disc drive, just USB. And I dont have made a USB recovery.. Please help me I have all my thesis material on that computer. Thank you.

2 options.

Does pressing F8 post lenovo Bios screen pull up any boot options e.g. Boot Windows in safe mode etc?

If you cannot do this the second option as follows:

Is your thesis on a another partition excluding C:\ e.g where Windows is installed.

If yes then:

Chapter 3

If no then:

Get someone to remove the harddrive. Boot on another machine with your h/drive connected so you can ready the h/drive and copy the thesis on to a USB.

Then

Hope that helps.

Might be a faulty ram case. Speaking from experience with y400.
