Hi,
My laptop is an ASUS Q501LA on Windows 8.1. The computer froze recently so I force restarted it. Since then, I have been unable to boot into anything successfully except for the BIOS. If I leave it to boot normally, it shows a blue screen with the error "Unmountable Boot Volume". I tried searching for this error and none of the solutions I found have worked. I have not been able to access safe mode (It says "please wait" on boot then goes to black screen indefinitely). I cannot access the automatic repair tools (It says "preparing automatic repair" then goes to black screen indefinitely). I am able to access the BIOS, and couldn't find a "no-execute memory protection" option to turn on which was suggested by some. I tried creating a recovery USB drive to boot from, which also lead to a black screen (I did this from a Windows 10 laptop, not sure it that would be relevant). I tried creating a Windows 8 Installation USB Drive, which loads then goes to indefinite black screen (I checked this on another laptop to make sure this works). I tried turning on CSM and disabling secure boot and repeating all of these to no avail. I'm stumped now, and would appreciate any help you can give.
