I have an Asus Zenbook UX330U that is stuck in a boot loop (gets to the Asus logo with spinning balls beneath, hangs there, eventually powers off and restarts only to repeat that process).
After some research, I used the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to create a USB installation/recovery device.
After some tinkering with BIOS settings (disable secure boot and fast boot, enable CSM support and Launch PXE OpROM policy) I was finally able to get the boot menu to show my USB media. It shows both as a UEFI OS option and also without the UEFI designation.
If I choose to boot to the UEFI OS option, it seems to *very* briefly engage the USB stick (there's a status light on the device) and then move on to trying to boot from the SSD, which goes back to the same problematic boot loop.
If, however, I choose the NON-UEFI option for the USB media, it engages the USB stick and produces the simple window logo with the 5 spinning balls beneath it. UNFORTUNATELY, though, the screen then turns black and I can no longer register any input. SO FRUSTRATING!!
I know the USB Tool is good, because I tested it with another laptop and it booted properly from the USB stick.
I just CANNOT figure out why it is starting to boot from the USB stick but then goes to that damned black screen.
Please help if you can!
