Hi. I need help.
I have asus x202e. Yesterday it turned off on its own and performed automatic repair because of bad system config info. Everytime it fails it shuts down and self-repair all over again until finally it entered bios setup. I tried this

1/ Select the Boot menu in the Aptio setup utility, select 'Launch CSM' and change to enable
2/ Select the Security menu n the Aptio setup utility, select 'secure Boot Control' and change to disable
3/ Select Save & Exit and press 'yes'
4/ Hold down the power button until the unit switches power off completely
5/ Switch back on and continually press the F9 button for about ten seconds; this should now allow the unit to boot up into the Windows Recovery menu
6/ Select 'Advanced Start Up' and wait until the recovery menu appears
7/ Select ' Advanced Options'
8/ Select 'System Restore' and select a date prior to when the problem occured


I did steps1-4 then it directed me to insert boot media page.
Do u by any chance have a secure site in mind where we can download recovery boot drive for free? I didnt get the chance to create one when my laptop was still functioning well. I just downloaded from a site (out of desperation) instead of waiting for my friends laptop to arrive and i ended getting a malware.

Tnx
 
I'm afraid you will need to contact Asus and purhase it/them.
Anything else would be illegal as Asus has not made those public and we dont support those activities.
