I have a Lenovo G580, came with Windows 8, upgrade to 8.1 and was working without problem for almost a year. Two weeks ago using the Notebook just put it to sleep, and never wakeup. Turned off and on again and the 3 led in front was flashing but don't wake up. So I took out the CMOS battery and main battery and wait for 24 hours. Power up and could get in de BIOS setup, but no in Windows, so took out the HDD save all info in another PC and clean the Disk. Now when I try to install Windows it freezes, only load plain DOS. I suppose is a BIOs problem, try to re flash it (download from Lenovo site) but they only have it to be flashed in windows environment, ask Lenovo user forums and continue telling that is not a BIOs problem. Could you help me in this matter?
Thanks

This sounds more like a harddisk problem than a bios problem. Do you have any other harddisk to test with?
