[HELP] UEFI boot stuck

[dellBrandan]

Hello, I am new to this forum but very experienced in computers.
My Dell computer is stuck on the UEFI boot, it takes about an hour or something to get it to boot.
Please email me to help me fix this!

P.S, I will post a picture of the computer in UEFI boot with my tablet.

1) How long does it take to boot to safe mode?
2) What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?
3) We don't use email for support. The primary idea of forums is for everyone to see, help and learn.

1) First, I know I am a expert, but F8 seems to not work.
2) It was fixed by Dell Support the last time I used it.
3) But if they want to.

[Allan]

1) F8 should certainly work - what OS are you using
2) Please expand - why did Dell support fix it (what was wrong)? And did this start immediately after they fixed it?
3) NO EMAIL SUPPORT.

[dellBrandan]

1) Windows 8.1
2) Hard drive got fried.
3) ... You don't have to yell via forum.

dellBrandan,
This is a volunteer forum and many would like to help you.
Please include as much relevant history about this computer.
You bought this from  Dell? When? What model?
Is this a laptop?
On new laptops the UEFI boot block is method used to reduce unauthorized chkangfes to a computer, especially laptops which can be easily transported. Any attempt to alter the hardware or  system software is blocked by the UEFI boot. Did dell not explain this to you?
Without the details, forum members just have to guess ate your problem. Most Windows users never have issues with the UEFI boot protection.
For general information about Unified Extensible Firmware Interface:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface

Intel developed the original EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) specification. Some of the EFI's practices and data formats mirror those from Microsoft Windows.[5][6] In 2005, UEFI deprecated EFI 1.10 (the final release of EFI). The Unified EFI Forum manages the UEFI specification.

Windows 8.1 will use the UEFI ato full advantage to stop malware.

The 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista[32] and later, 32-bit versions of Windows 8, and the Itanium versions of Windows XP and Server 2003 can boot from disks with a partition size larger than 2 TB.

Of curse, there is a lot more to say about UEFI boot. You  may have been infected by a virus that was found  on the next boot.
Please give details.
