I have read all the fixes, but none addresses when the computer gets stuck in this state and cannot do anything even after I turn it off. What can I do to get to that point that allows me to do all recommended fixes? I tried every option I could find on the internet and nothing worked including start- up repair and system restore. My Alienware laptop has no DVD drive so there were no repair or operating system discs. What finally worked for me after all other attempts to repair and restore failed, and after spending 4 hours on the phone with Microsoft tech support, is this: First, since my Alienware laptop has no CD/DVD drive, I had to get on another computer and download the operating system onto a blank flash drive. This took almost an hour. Then I had to go into System BIOS (how you access this is different depending on your computer, but on my system you hit < F2> repeatedly upon powering up) and then once in System Bios go to the Advanced boot option tab and change the boot option to external drive. Then you save and exit and turn off the system. Next you put in the USB flash drive and restart. This allows the computer to boot up from the USB drive, bypass the failure loop, and reinstall the operating system. However, this does completely wipe your computer to factory settings and does require that all software be reinstalled. Once the operating system is installed, you have to remove the USB drive, restart the computer,( < F2> upon restart again) and go back into the Advanced Boot Options tab in the System BIOS and change the boot drive back to what it was before (should be your internal hard drive). Then again save and exit and restart. I ended up installing Windows 1. Hope this helps someone else who is having the same issue where start up repair and system restore does not work.
