G750JX boots straight into Bios after Bios update

I found a workaround by disabling fastboot but its annoying because it was working fine before.. i also added 2x 840 Pro ssds not sure if thats got anything to do with it..

any fixes?

 

by disabling fast boot you are wasting the power of your laptop

make sure you have secure boot as enabled

worst case scenario, try restoring setup defaults

 

Try to load the bios defaults and reboot then. This is sometimes needed after a bios update.

 

I have reset to default... it just boots straight into bios unless i turn fastboot off now -_-.

 

turn off fast boot and enable Launch CSM but before doing that, you have to disable secure boot from the security tab then do the steps before

 

This allows me to boot - but why am i unable to use fast boot? After putting in the default 1TB/256GB it came with.. booting went back to normal... put in my 2x 840Pros and cant use fastboot =[

 

because the way you installed windows was incorrect.

what you need to do is insert the product key via a PID.txt in the sources folder on the Windows 8 Disc and boot from a UEFI/GPT disk such as a USB WITH SECURE BOOT ENABLED and FAST BOOT ENABLED

To do this, here is what you will have to do:

1) Insert your OLD SSD Back which had the original factory installed OS

2) Download and install Belarc Advisor

3) Run Belarc Advisor, then look towards the end of the page, you will find your product key there, note it down

4) on your desktop, create a text file and name it PID.txt

5) Open the PID Text file and paste this

[PID]
Value=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Obviously you have to replace the XXX with your actual product key that is built into the BIOS which you extracted from Belarc Advisor

6) Create an ISO Image of your Windows 8 DVD (should be Single Language Windows 8 DVD not Pro or Retail)

7) Using UltraISO or any other ISO Editor, copy the PID.txt file to the sources folder which is in the root of the ISO

8) Save your ISO again

9) Download RUFUS

10) Insert a 4 GB USB stick

11) Run Rufus then follow this image to create a GPT/UEFI disk



where it says ISO, browse to the ISO you just saved

12) let Rufus create your bootable USB

13) Reboot your laptop and boot from the USB then Install Windows 8

The Windows 8 DVD will not ask you for a product key since it will match the PID.txt file with the product key built into your BIOS and if they match the setup will continue

I know this is a hassle, but it's worth every minute! I did that to keep my fast boot / UEFI partitions

My notebook boots in less than 12 seconds from a complete shut down state to the Windows

 

You can enter the bios by doing a proper restart or if there is a boot issue anyway

 

i never got a win8 cd.. i came preinstalled

 

neither does any laptop which comes preinstalled with 8 OEM

here is the download link for the untouched windows 8
