Help! PC in boot loop!
« on: June 17, 2018, 02:59:50 PM »
It’s making a kind of ooooooo noise. It’s a used Latitude E6330 running Windows 10 (Dell), just bought it used at an auction. It started last night, I got a BSOD last night, sound worked, today, tried to watch a movie on YouTube, volume on 70 percent, no sound. Then it crashes and went into a boot loop, tried to enter BIoS but couldn’t, it gets slightly warm on the left side but not very, increases very slowly, not fast. Plugged into charger today when used, eventually got into startup repair menu, mostly unresponsive, very slow reaction to touchpad buttons, touchpad buttons worked fine earlier. Now it won’t respomd to touchpad buttons in startup repair menu and is in a freeze. Please help!

What did you pay for it? Did the vendor make any remarks about condition?
If you bought it from Amazon you would have got a warranty.
On eBay you can get one for parts real cheap...   :)

Here is what you can try. Remove battery. Wait a bit. Plug in power brick and try to boot into BIOS. Within BIOS there should be a diagnostic area.

Most likely the battery is gone and shroud not be used.

I got the BSOD error MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, I suspect I might need new memory. Besides, I couldn't even get into the BIOS.

Download and run memtest (https://www.memtest86.com/). Let it run multiple passes (several hours).

I'm just trying to make sure it's not something else,  I don't want to jump to conclusions.  No offense to you
