Aspire E3-112 Cannot start after attempted clean win10 install

bully

The install didn't go well. It went right through the extract and install process OK but then just went round in a loop wanting to keep reinstalling from the usb drive. I had changed the bios by promoting usb hdd above windows boot manager (still under uefi). So i removed the USB drive and restored the bios order. But now when i boot up i get an error window saying "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows click OK to restart the computer and then restart the installation." It makes no difference whether i close the window or click OK, it just goes round in the same circle.

 

Help!

Thanks for the reply. I did try that. In the end i found the solution was to wait until the start of (yet another) reinstall process and then press the power button for a few seconds till the machine shut down. Then i powered up while holding F2 down and went into the bios where i restored the original settings and the machine then booted into the new clean installation.

 

Unless the OS is nuked, the way to perform a clean install is to use settings>update & security>recovery>restart now and use the boot from usb option. And leave the bios well alone.
