    Hey guys,

    I have some trouble with my Samsung Series 7. I cant boot the win 8.1.

    When I press the power button:
    • it starts. Show me the Samsung logo and the win 8 windows logo
    • windows detect a problem, I see blue screen with: " :( your computer ran into a problem..."
    • restart
    • I see the samsung logo and win 8 logo with "preparing to repair"
    • few seconds later: " :( your computer ran into a problem..."
    from this point it repeats every time.

    If i put a boot disc, I hear it spinning and the typical disc loading sound. But he still didn't boot from the disc.

    It hast this UEFI bios. That means: I cant press F2, DEL, F1, F8 or somethink like this becaouse UEFI System Security is enable.

    The problem was caused by me. I was installing the win 8.1 on the laptop. It run fine till I reastart the computer. It seams that there is some problems with UEFI configuration. So I switched to CSM and the computer starts fine.
    But I wanted to enable the UEFI, so I load the default UEFI configuration and still that Time I cant boot the System.

    So I dont know what to do now and hope Your guys have some advices for me.
    Thanks a lot

    Samsung computers are well known to have multiple issues with UEFI and Windows 8.x.x. The best bet is to go to that forum and either open a thread with your specific model number or in a thread for your specific model start asking questions. Since the models usually have their own quirky issues a general answer may not help.
