I got Samsung RV520. Installed Win 7 and upgraded to Win 10. I wanted to clone the HDD to move it to SSD. After cloning, I was not able to boot the laptop at all (with the old HDD). So I wanted to reinstall it again, but the installation either stops at black screen, or displays errors about missing files after copying them.
I tried to switch HDD's, switch RAM, play with BIOS settings, reset the MB CMOS, nothing helps. Windows 7 installation stops after copying necessary files, Windows 8 install stops showing the logo, tried to install Ubuntu, run Arch Linux, few other live OS, but always stops at black screen.
Anyone experienced this? Any ideas what to try next? The laptop was working fine for months.
