Toshiba Satellite L50d boot failure

[philnoob]

Hi,
My daughters laptop is stuck in a diagnostic loop.
Toshiba dont want to know unless i buy software from them.
I have turned the UEFI off and tried 3 different Hard-drives and 3 versions of windows to get a fresh install.
the install works until i try to update drivers. It then sends the laptop back into a diagnostic loop.

Would appreciate any insight into fixing this problem..

Many thanks

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Try to remove the HDD of your laptop and put it into another PC and do a clean install of Windows. After doing so put the HDD back into your laptop and see if the installation will continue normally.
- If it doesn't work do try a reset BIOS into defaults first and reinstall windows.
- Lastly, try running the original Factory Reset disc that you can get from Toshiba.

The partitions for recovery are corrupt.
Its impossible to restore.
I have sucesscully installed win 8.1 back onto the laptop but when I try to install drivers I get a black screen and it crashes.

Whenever I get a fresh copy of win 8.1 or 10 back on it runs fine.. Zero issues.. Its when I start to install the drivers it crashes and goes back to a infinite diagnostic loop
