So I decided to upgrade my Windows 8.1 Lenovo G510 to Windows 10 yesterday. Bottom line: everything went wrong.
1. I got the notification that Windows 10 was downloaded and ready to be installed to my Windows 8.1 (64) system. So I did and everything went successfully until my system restarted. I kept getting the error "INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR" and restart loop. The laptop will start with the Lenovo logo and the loading dial, then the error pops up. After a few loops it gives me the option to tinker with the command prompt, recovery, etc.
2. So I went online and people were saying how Windows 10 conflicts with AMD graphics. What worked for most people was disabling their AMD in safe mode. I tried to entering safe mode through F8 (fn+F8) for my Lenovo laptop and nothing was working. I searched online and people were saying I can change my bcdedit to startup in safe mode everytime. So I went into the command prompt and typed in bcdedit /set {default} safeboot network. I restarted and everything went SOUTH! A new sequence of looping began: 1. Lenovo logo appears with loading dial, fades to black, logo and dial reappears then disappears as the system shuts down and the cycle loops. Sometimes before the second logo and dial disappear, the text 'Restarting' appears very quickly under the loading dial. Sometimes the text 'Safe Mode' in all 4 corners appears for less than .5 second before the system shuts down.
3. At this point there's nothing I can do but enter the InsyndeH20 Setup Utility through F2. Please visit this link for pictures of my settings and laptop specs. [URL] .....
I decided to try the USB boot with Windows 10 MediaCreationTool on a USB and the install interface showed up when I reboot. From here I could access the repair options and open command compt again, but I can't revert the bcdedit back to normal. It says "The boot configuration data store could not be opened. The requested system device cannot be found" when I type bcdedit /enum. View here: [URL] ....
4. At this point, I'm okay with wiping everything and starting fresh. I would like to keep my files but I was over it. However, it says that Windows cannot be installed on any of my drives! Only allows for Delete and Formating, the New button is gray. All of them say Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. I know that the laptop I copied the MediaCreationTool is a 32bit and my Lenovo laptop is a 64bit. Is it possible that is the reason why I can't install windows? When I try to run the MediaCreationToolx64 on my backup, a 'This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running'.
The upgrade to W10 has left me with a blue 'Welcome Back' screen and a 'Next' button. That's it! Clicking Next causes a reboot back to this screen. I cannot even open in safe mode and all boot options take me back to this screen.
Obviously I can't click on anything or type anything because the loop is constant. I've been reading forums etc for the past couple of days for a fix for this Automatic Repair loop..nothing that would work and I notice many others the past year also never found a solution.
I burned on a dvd a Windows 10 bootup thing- as suggested by someone. That doesn't stop the loop either- and yes, I did get to the page via F12 that allows to change it to boot from the DVD etc.
On start up I get the computer needs to restart and then goes into the loop of restarting from a blue screen, I can get F2 which is the Bios screen but thats all, I can see reboot on this but do not have anything to reboot with as I upgraded from win 7.
I installed a copy of windows 8 that I owned and then upgraded it to windows 10. It was working fine for a couple of weeks, and suddenly it had and error and is stuck rebooting itself with a blue screen error.
The error appears to be different every time but the ones I have seen repeated are "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" and "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION".
I can get into the BIOS and that's about it. I can't find a way to boot into safe mode and when I try and install a fresh copy of windows 10 via USB created from microsoft i still get a blue screen error after a couple of seconds.
Due to there not being an F8 boot command screen any more I had to go into msconfig to change how the computer starts up.. which is now set to safe mode. So I'm in safe mode (on the other computer).. the problem is I cannot figure out how to reset it to start up in normal mode. The 'search windows' box at the bottom will not allow any text to be entered.. unless I can get to msconfig by looking for it in safe mode.. I'm stuck in safe mode. How to get to msconfig in safe mode without typing it in? again the msconfig was changed to have the computer start up in safe mode.. it's now doing it every time.. even after a system restore to 4 days ago.
I put my PC in safe mode but when I try to get out I can't I press the windows key and the R and then put msconfig. A window opens but it closes right after.
I knew better but with the constant nagging for me to update...I accepted the update. This is where the problems started. My HP dv7 took the update and now only shows a sun burst and blue like screen...mouse works but will not do anything else...tried to boot in safe mode but nothing doing there either...... how to just get back to my win 7 home pre.
I was having difficulty with flashing and went into safe mode to try to figure out which program was causing it but now whenever I reboot I am still in Safe Mode.
how it did not work on windows 10 using f8 key..I like knowing if I need to get into safe mode on my pc the f8 key will work... So I started checking the web and found how to make windows 10 go into safe mode with f8 key...The information I found is for windows 8 but I checked it out on my windows 10 pc and it works just fine... How to enable the F8 key to start Safe Mode in Windows 8.Admin...If this is information you all know about just delete this post...
Needed to boot in safe mode, used msconfig to set the boot mode. Of course I was not aware my pen number login is wothless so now I am stuck in perpetual safe login screen. My outlook password is in a program on the system which I cannot access.
Tried shift restart and tried startup settings and press enter, but this does not do a normal boot, just another safe mode. Where is the option for normal boot!?
I work in an education environment and these kids are very savvy. They have figured out how to put the computer in Safe Mode and make it impossible for me to track them. how to Disable Safe Mode?
I want to boot into safe mode but every time I try it crashes and shows BSOD Bad_Pool_Header. I've tried to boot it manually through system config. It still won't work.
My laptop was windows 7 and I have upgraded to windows 10. Over the past few weeks i've seen that some updates have failed, and I was going to try the product on this site , windows all in one, to try and find out the problem. so i followed the instructions for powering off, unplugging and removing battery to drain electricity, and then rebooted to "safe" level...and then.....i can't login from safe mode, it says password is incorrect, and i am unable to get OUT of safe level to sign in the regular way.
So, to log into your computer you have now to enter a PIN instead of a password, right? Well, that PIN is changed (or something similar) because I can't log in with the normal one.
Long story short, W10 doesn't support my built in Intel video chip and there is no driver and W10 wont let me load Windows Basic Video driver so I need to go back to W7. I can only get into Safe Mode so I don't see how to do the reversal. Windows.old exists. How do I get the computer to revert from Safe Mode?
Through msconfig I added safe boot with networking, however when I restart with F8 networking does not boot up. Took a while to even find how to get that far and then it didn't work right.
Okay so here's what happened. I had made a new user on win10 and gave it admin rights. I then booted my pc in safemode to fix an unrelated problem and when I went to log into the account, the password I had given it did not work. I do not have a windows 10 disk to reset my password as I upgraded internally from 8 to 10. all I need to do is get out of safe mode.
My computer will not go to sleep at all unless it is in safe mode without networking (the monitor does sleep then). When I boot it into safe mode with networking, it will not go to sleep (the monitor will not sleep). When I boot normally into Windows 10 (clean install; up-to-date as of today with Windows Update), the computer does not sleep.
Also, sometimes before when I login after a normal startup, the computer does go to sleep; however, nothing displays on the monitor after I press the power button to bring it out of sleep. I tried disabling the "wake" feature for the network adapter (as suggested in another thread), but that did not work at all. My computer's specifications are:

I am having a hard time trying to get back to normal mode. My external monitor vga driver was automatically turned off when computer restarted in safe mode. Now, I am working blind, I know there is a sequels of keys to press when computer starts up in order to return to normal mode.
I tried to boot into safe mode via msconfig then after restarts it showed BAD_POOL_HEADER and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. I've tried chkdsk and system recover. I don't want to Reset my laptop. S
