Hi 

I have Acer Aspire v3-771G  with windows 8.1 installed on it.

Whenever my battery runs out and computer goes off, I get this msg after staring compuer later :" NO booting device detected." I have to reset my computer over and over and over and miraculously it works after 6 or 7 hard resets.

I googled and there was nothing regarding my problem so i thought maybe updating my bios will help to solve it.

Ok I have successfully updated my Bios to the lastest version(2.23), however my Laptop has gone extremely slow when I want to restart or shutdown, It aproxmately takes 2 or 3 minutes just to perform the restarting or shutting down. sometimes it stucks at shutdown page for ever and i have to hard reset it.

However after updating my biod to 2.23 , I still have my booting problem unsolved, I have this additional problem of very LONG booting time as well.

I would not suggest to update your BIOS at all.

 Does anyone have any solution for this issue?

I am intrigued how you got 8.1 on this machine.

Did you uninstall all the drivers recomended on this website first?

I haven't tried doing this yet, but 8.1 does not upgrade on my same model. (neither does a factory restore though!)

No boot device - Go into BIOS (F2) and check the first boot device is boot manager.

If it is then run disk check on your C: drive.

Only things I can think of for now...

Well, Honestly I did not check the website to see that I should have un-install my drivers for being able to upgrade my windows. I simply saw the upgrade to 8.1 on windows app store and I clicked on it!

However, I did update my drivers after upgrading the Windows. It was not much of trouble in fact.

I checked my BIOS setting and also did the scan on my both hard drives.(SSD and HDD) no errors.

I guess, somehow the new version of Bios is not working properly as it should. 

Thanks for your quick response anyway.

Ok. No probs.

One thing you could try is to use the windows event viewer to see what is causing the Issue.

Press windows key & x

Select event viewer.

You may find the answer in there (e.g driver conflict, could the AHCI driver etc)

Done! No result. I guess I have no choice but to call acre and going through the hassle of emailing the support hoping to get it fixed.

I appreciate your help man! Thanks a lot.
