Solve : Windows 8.1 won't boot.?

Answer» <html><body><p>I really need your help with this one guys and gals. I'm was asked to take a look at my sister's granddaughter's computer. It's an Acer notebook Aspire E1-510-2611. It was very slow so I ran some scans which turned up over 500 items mostly pups. Since then it will only boot to a blue screen. Previous to that I tried the Recovery but was told the the Recovery would not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/start-239994" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about START">START</a>. <a href="http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2843-automatic-repair-run-windows-8-a.html"><strong><em>See Here 1st...</em></strong></a>Thanks but it won't even boot to that. I need some kind of repair that will run of a memory stick.Borrow another computer that has Windows 8.1 and create a boot USB recovery thing.<br/>If you can get into the BIOS of the sick PC, set it for USB boot. Try the recovery USB thing you made from the other PC.<br/>Dave - What is the entire blue screen error message?Is there a way to get the recovery media from the manufacturer to start fresh and boot off of a USB device they send you?

My sister purchased this computer last year for her granddaughter's graduation but the problem is that part of the MS label is torn off and I don't know the product key. I downloaded a ProduKey retriever from NirSoft but I'm not sure if it will work on Windows 8.1. Is there any others I can use? I followed the advice in the link that Soybean provided and was able to do a refresh. My son has the same problem with his computer.  He has an Asus with basically the same specs. He still has the recover partition and we also tried a USB but neither works.  The computer seems to recognize the issue and tries to go into recovery but then fails.  I let it sit all night but it still did not work.  <br/><br/>He says he installed Happy Wars from the internet and played if for a while and then shut down the computer using the on-screen shut down.  He said he may have installed AdFly when the game installed.   And the point is ? ? ?the point is to get help resolving the issue!I repaired my laptop with the link that Soybean provided. It may work for you.Thanks for the reply but that didn't work.  I tried that as well as the Asus key (f9) and can not get it to work.  Now the computer just cycles through the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/screens-14061" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SCREENS">SCREENS</a> I attached.  I cannot get a USB recovery to work but if I put a Linux USB in it will start up.  <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/anyone-380251" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANYONE">ANYONE</a> know if I can do anything from there?<br/><br/>[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space] Quote</p><blockquote> I cannot get a USB recovery to work </blockquote> Pleas tell exactly  how did you make the USB recovery?<br/><br/>This link is about a USB drive for a full install.<br/><a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media">Create installation media for Windows 8.1</a><br/><br/>Did you try that?</body></html>
