The problem is with about a month old Dell Inspiron 3520 running windows 8. I had bought it brand new from Walmart. I think it was the second day i used it, I started getting a error message about i think it was the adapter cable being incompatible or might have been the battery.. i can't remember because it would only do it every now and then. But why I am writing this post is because I have a NEW problem. When I turn the laptop on It takes me to the black screen where it shows error messages:
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
and says to reboot and select proper boot device. So when I reboot, If I press F12 and get into "boot options" then go under "UEFI options" and select "windows boot manager", a screen comes up thats all black with blue squares in the middle of the screen like it's loading and then takes me to my log in screen and everything works fine. I recently installed "Kies Air" to back up my Android cell phone which is also having issues but my room mate shares this laptop with me so I don't know if it was maybe something he did, or what could be causing this but I read one post where someone said if you get this error your hard drive is fried which I don't think in my case is true being as i can log in and im writing this from my laptop right now =/ Please help!! This laptop is brand new and I already have been having a hard time getting to like Windows 8 and now these problems.. it's disapointing
