Windows installation hangs in an endless startup cycle on MSI computers.
Windows installation hangs in an endless startup cycle on MSI computers.
I have an MSI GX63VR with an i7 7700hq processor, 1070 MHz, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, 256 GB SSD, and a 1080p display (commonly called the Raider or GE63VR). It’s stuck in a boot loop while I attempt to reinstall Windows. The process starts by opening MSI, then displays "MSI" and "Welcome," followed by a brief flash of the "Windows Update" screen before powering off and on again. This is my first post, so please forgive any misclassification or incorrect tags. I plan to share a video tomorrow.
Attempt to access the BIOS via F11, F2, F8 or Del. I encountered the same problem with my previous MSI laptop. Once inside the BIOS, exiting should allow continued use. If you remain stuck in a boot loop afterward, simply keep the system powered on; it will eventually grant access to Windows. That’s what occurred with mine.
I've already tried the BIOS trick, but it didn't help. The system sat for a few hours in the loop, then I landed on the Windows recovery screen. Clicking the startup troubleshooter didn't fix anything, and it only loaded to the MSI screen with no loading dots before looping. I can still reach the recovery menu using F3, select the boot drive via F11, and access BIOS through DELETE. Is there a way to return this for repair? It's only a month old and still covered under warranty.
