Try removing the HDD and booting from SSD or USB, then what happens?– DamonCommented Feb 3, 2014 at 8:13

Yes, that would be a last resort option, since it was a pain to open this laptop and I would rather not do it again.– GotchaCommented Feb 3, 2014 at 13:28

But that is how the trouble shooting process works. You have to get back to a known good configuration and work from there changing, then "test and measure". You can run the laptop with it in pieces usually, as in you usually do not have to screw everything back together to get it to work to make the process of adding and removing go faster as you troubleshoot.– DamonCommented Feb 3, 2014 at 16:28

Yeah, managed to do it kind of that way. Didn't boot from anywhere though, used Samsung Recovery that I had on the cloned SSD.– GotchaCommented Feb 10, 2014 at 9:35

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
