Windows 8 cannot start and don't enter advanced setup

[mene23]

Hello all,

I hope you can try to help me, because I'm not that experienced in working with Windows 8 - but I have promised to try to format and re-install a Packard Bell pc, which normally is pretty easy.

But however in the process there had been some errors, and therefore some help.

First, I have tried to make the re-install by using the recovery tool in Windows 8, but it seems that doing this process it is overheating and therefore restarted, and hereafter I have a serious problem.

When restarting the computer it runs a repair and diagnose loop and it does not enter advanced start up settings, and therefore I have no options available.

For your information the computer is pretty new and have UEFI firmware, and therefore with my knowledge I cannot enter BIOS and as a consequence I cannot access bootable CD's.

I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried pressing the F2 button at start up before Windows loads.

Yes I have, and as due to the new Windows 8 UEFI firmware I cannot enter the bios this way, because the booting time is so fast.

Otherwise, thanks for the help.
