MY MODEL: Asus Laptop Windows 8 model Ux303la
I've tried many methods like the one below, but I got stuck at step 5.
When I left it aside overnight, it suddenly worked again, so I didn't really give it much thought, but now it's not working again.
I dropped my laptop once (but surprisingly still functional) and that ^^^^^(above) happened before this, so I don't think the fact that I dropped it is the problem.

I have an Asus Notebook X501A and it has just happened to me; I am running Windows 8.1 and I have done nothing at all that may have caused this.
Here's what I did that was succesful:
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
System Restore worked perfectly for me; good luck"
(Please help, if you have a solution please reply immediately! Thanks)
