FAQ's:
Q: I have tried all the steps seen here and the issue has not been resolved.
A: If the diagnostic test showed your Hard Drive to be healthy, or if you were unable to run the diagnostic test, your next step would be to try an install Windows.

Q: The diagnostic test showd an error with my HDD. What do I do?
A: If your HDD shows an error, try reseating the HDD as seen here in this video. If fails to help and your HDD still shows an error, its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. If you would like help locating a compatible HDD, let me know or check here for some options: www.amazon.com...
Q: I couldn't change my BIOS settings or I did change them and it didn't help.
A: If you could not change your BIOS settings or if changing them did not help your situation, them move on and try the other steps in this video. What was the result of the Lenovo diagnostic scan?

Hi need ur help pls

[@jeremywilliams3107]

Thanks so much for all the information! A couple days ago I think I accidentally closed something I shouldn’t have in task manager, and ever since then my laptop gets to the Legion logo with the loading circle but after a few seconds it just goes black. Alternatively, every now and then it will go to the blue screen that says windows didn’t load properly. I’ve tried restoring it to a previous day last week, taking out the battery and reattaching it, and even reinstalling windows from the cloud. Nothing has worked, I’m still getting the same issue. The weird thing is that yesterday I went into BIOS and switched it to Dynamic Graphics (it was on discreet graphics before this) and I was able to load into windows. However, every game I tried to play was really slow, so I went back into bios and switched it back to discreet graphics and have been stuck with the issue again ever since. Getting to the Legion logo, the circle spins a few seconds, and then everything goes black. I’ve spent all weekend and probably 8 - 10 hours trying to fix this myself and I’m really stressing out. I really can’t send it in anywhere because I cannot afford it at the moment. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! 🙏

[@jeremywilliams3107]

Also I should add that I have a Lenovo Legion 5. I just switched it back to Dynamic Graphics in BIOS for the second time and once again it worked and I can get into windows like normal. Why won’t it work with discreet graphics all of the sudden? Thanks for taking the time to read all this

[@amandaschoen6421]

So after a windows update, I started boot looping on my old x1 carbon. Tried changing boot mode in bios. Time is right. I cannot boot to USB to install a new os. I tried factory resetting bios. Nothing. Should I try flashing the bios? I'm hesitant to go that option cause I can only mount the iso to a CD as it's not showing as bootable media in Rufus. Or is it a motherboard issue. Only thing I haven't tried is the cmos battery as I don't want to tear the laptop apart.

[@amandaschoen6421]

Ps it's not a spinning circle like it's not finding windows. Just Lenovo screen, no post.

[@amandaschoen6421]

It sees the hd and bootable USB in boot order. Change it to USB and load that first. Continues to loop and no post no matter what's on top

[@Convoycrazy]

Hi, so I tried the novo button - unfortunately no lenovo diag software on this model. The system bios is keeping the correct date & time. I switched to legacy boot - no effect. I uninstalled the last update (one system update and the feature update) - no effect, so I tried to 'recover' windows (both ways - saving files and complete recovery) and it will get to about 83%, stop, and then say 'undoing changes' and eventually a blue screen will tell me that it failed. I wish I had the forethought to have made a recovery flash drive! Would I be correct in assuming the OS is damaged? Or should I pull the cover and reseat the hard drive for good measure? Right now it's sitting at the lenovo screen with the loading circle going and it's ticking away like it's working on something but it'll sit like this for hours. I really appreciate you commenting back! Thank you

[@PC_Monkey]

First step would be to reseat the HDD. Sounds like you have with no luck. If there are any HDD Cables or other smaller boards that the HDD connects to before the motherboard, reseat those as well. If still no luck, your most likely looking at a HDD issue or Motherboard issue. Replace the HDD first and install an operating system to the new one. You can get help with that with other video links in the description of this video. If that fails to help, your may need to replace the damaged motherboard at that point :(

[@PC_Monkey]

1. Does this help you get inside? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rMm4KnmLSbp9k 2. An overheating computer can be damaging multiple different components if not resolved. First, make sure that the fan and vents are clean and clear. If you need help accessing the fan, let me know what brand and model computer you have and I can help you get inside it. If that does not fix the overheating issue, then try replacing the thermal paste on the CPU and if needed, the GPU as seen here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZDNZXqGn9WUrc0. If that fails too, replace the CPU

Well, maybe I didn't explain it well enough, my bad. What I meant is that when the "Lenovo" finally appears, there seems to be no way to turn the diagnostics on, there is no response. Only boot menu shows up right afterwards. And yes it could be overheating before. I left a game on and left the room for some time so I'm not sure what went on but often games in general are treating my pc quite harshly 😅

An overheating computer can be damaging multiple different components if not resolved. First, make sure that the fan and vents are clean and clear. If you need help accessing the fan, let me know what brand and model computer you have and I can help you get inside it. If that does not fix the overheating issue, then try replacing the thermal paste on the CPU and if needed, the GPU as seen here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZDNZXqGn9WUrc0.

Hi Pc Monkey, I was stuck on boot loop on my Legion 5 Pro, the bios doesn’t have any change in Boot settings even if i disable safe setup mode, also the diagnostic setep provided by the company only gives option to choose bios settings or boot menu- which has windows and some Network boot option. Nothing was working since I couldn’t even reach automatic repairs before it crashes on booting screen and restarts. By some miracle my windows has booted now and is working fine but I’m scared of even shutting down my pc since this process wasted 2hrs of mine. What should i do now to fix this soo as it doesn’t happen again?? Since my windows is loaded and everything working fine i dont think it’s a hardware issue rather maybe my windows is corrupted?

Help, I think my lenovo has 2 problems at the same time, the blue "Repair cannot repair your pc" and the black screen after loading. The issues started happened when one time my pc started to heat up a lot and then the entire pc froze, a couple of minutes later the screen turned off but the pc still on. I shut down it by holding the power button, when I reopen it, the blue screen appeared. Here are some things I tried to fix it: I tried the "continue" option, but it just restarts the pc and then the blue screen is back. I tried startup setting and enabled safe mode, it loaded. But when I restart the pc, the blue screen is back. I tried changing bios boot setting, nothing changed. I tried startup setting's "disable early launch anti malware protection" and "disable automatic restart after failure", that just lead to the black screen again. I tried using the terminal's "sfc /scannow" and "chkdsk /f C:", that didn't work. I don't really remember, but I think "startup repair" also lead to the black screen. I didn't try reseating the hardware and "Reset this pc" yet. Because I don't want to do it if I don't have to.
