A: If changing the settings in BIOS did not help, and the diagnostic scan showed all components to be healthy, then its most likely an issue with your operating system. Can you find any Restore or Repair options in BIOS? Or perhaps an option to Uninstall Last Update? If not, your last resort would be to reinstall the Operating System.

A: If the test says your battery is dying, I would definitely replace it asap. However, that's most likely not the cause of your boot loop. To make sure, remove the battery and try to turn the computer on with only the power adapter plugged in. What happens then? (updated 7/25)
