bought this lenovo laptop used. Occasionally it will stall or hang on bootup (to booitbm menu). Sometimes this is because I left usb stick plugged in, but lately it does it without any usb plugged in.
In doing a google search on this, I find this problem is not uncommon. Various suggestions from bad motherboard to bad hard drive. Not encountering any other problems once it has booted and usually have to restart computer when this happens to get it past blank screen. There are no sound beep codes (forgot to check if this is disabled in bios). CHecked the bios and hard drive boot legacy is set number one. Maybe it's a usb flag that does not get cleared from last time I used it?
Since this board has people expert in the boot process,thought I'd ask here. Is this problem more likely bad mb, bad drive or problem with bootit bm (which seems to be functioning normally, no other problems)? Just wondering if I am having to anticipate system failure, hard drive failure or if it is some other issue?
