I've pulled all of the data my group needs off of the computer while it's functional, so if I absolutely have to wipe the computer and start over that's okay but not ideal. I read a little bit about this on other boards/ask sites and most of what I've read says that there is a significant chance (or guaranteed?) that running InsydeFlash will wipe the computer, especially if it manages to freeze while running? So I tried the 'cancel' option but the program just keeps popping up even if I cancel. The computer seems otherwise perfectly functional but I'm guessing if/when it gets shut down it will blue screen again.

I enter the password and I'm in and working on it for about 5 minutes without any apparent issue when InsydeFlash BIOS Flash Utility pops up. Try the second most recent and it says that that failed as well, but then proceeds to the Windows startup screen anyway. Try the most recent restore point (6/15) and it says that it failed so choose another one. Prompt comes up saying it couldn't reboot and prompts for either a system restore or reformatting the hard drive, so I go for system restore. So I hit enter on the 'reboot' prompt.Ĭomputer shuts itself down, reboots. Blue screen shows up saying that Windows could not start the operating system and to reboot, and gives some other options for if the problem occurs again which I don't read because I figure the reboot is the better option to try. It was on update 2 out of 15 or something, so I touched nothing and figured I'd see if it could finish it.Ĭomputer shuts itself down before the updates reach 15/15 and reboots itself. I come in today to find it still on and an 'Installing Windows Updates - Do Not Turn Off Computer' screen.

Shared lab laptop, last person to use it used it about a month ago and closed the laptop probably assuming it would go into hibernation mode.
