I have searched Google extensively. None of the symptoms my laptop shows are mentioned, other than won't go past the acer logo.

Here are the things I know:

-Leaving the thing on all night then booting it doesn't work.
-When I get past the logo. It's a black screen reminiscent of command prompt, except every button I press shows the error "no bootable device".
-Taking the hard drive out (starting it just in case) then putting it back on doesn't help.
-I can reach "InsydeH20 Setup Utility" but I'm clueless about it and all the settings I've changed do not help.
-Sometimes, it shows the white circle, but after 10 minutes the screen goes black.
-Sometimes, it'll say "preparing startup repairs" where you can troubleshoot and reset, but never goes past preparing. After a while, the screen goes black.

Please ask if you need any more info, I'll try my best to answer, but please help!!

Yes, that was the startup utility. I'm afraid that I have no idea how to load advanced startup options either

I have found a way to get into advanced startup:

1. Press and hold the power button on your PC until it powers off.

2. Press the power button on your PC to turn it on.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above until you see the Windows logo screen or Please wait during boot. Usually it may take repeating up to 3 times.

You will see the black "Please Wait" screen.

When displayed, click/tap on See advanced repair options.

Information found from here.
