Sager NP6872 - Windows 10 Issues

So I was having random MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSODs for a while, and I decided to attempt to reset Windows 10. I failed to notice that my laptop wasn’t plugged in. It died partially through the reinstallation.

Now I’m stuck in a reboot loop. It shows the SAGER boot screen, a split second of Windows - installing 64%, and then it resets. I got into the command prompt, opened regedit and changed a value from 1 to 3 (it was something to do with the WindowsStatus under local). Bad idea. Reboot loop remained.

So then I disassembled the laptop, inspected the RAM (it seems OK), swapped ports, used my sister’s laptop to download an ISO image to a USB. I set the NP6872 to boot from the USB, no dice. I tried this with and without Rufus and with different settings. I’m stuck.

I don’t need any info from this laptop, all the data isn’t important. Is there a way I can wipe the OS without being able to access the OS? I can get into the BIOS just fine.

I think Windows is partially installed and as a result I can’t do anything. Anything I can do to remove this partial install? Like resetting the BIOS?

Please help. Thank you for your time.

 

You should just be able to boot from the USB, have you changed the boot order to use the USB first?
