Nitro 5 laptop keeps restarting on boot, Unable to access F8 recovery or Install Windows

DangerHogg · February 17

My nitro 5 laptop is stuck in a boot loop when starting up and is restarting when the green Acer text is displayed. I can still access the boot menu through f2, but I have tried to reinstall windows from a usb but is restarting before it can boot the installer. The f8 recovery menu is also restarting before it can be accessed

Hi, you have to break the "Repair loop" by interrupting the booting 3 times with the Power Button holding it down for 5-7 seconds after each boot, this will start the blue Troubleshoot menu where you can "Reset this PC" without losing your files option or in Advanced you can select "Restart" and in Restart Settings 4 (Enable Safe Mode) boot to Safe Mode and then reboot to Windows. If none of this will work the Recovery partition or Windows bootloader are corrupted and if you cannot boot with a properly made Windows Recovery or Installation USB boot stick, try to reset BIOS with F9 enable USB boot and safe changes with F10 in BIOS and reinstall Windows or "Reset this PC" with the Windows Recovery USB disk. BTW, you can make a Recovery USB disk on another PC with the same Windows version.

Thanks for the advice but the laptop is restarting before I can get to the blue trouble shoot options. I have also tried setting the bios option back to default and it is still getting the same issue.
