Greetings @jgonzalez648

 

Thanks for the post.

 

I understand that your Stream notebook is not booting the desktop, is that right?

Not to worry, I will be glad to assist you. 

Have you tried any troubleshooting steps on your own?

Have you run a diagnostics on your computer?

Do you have any external devices connected to your computer?

 

Recommend you perform a power reset on your computer. 

  • Please disconnect any devices connected to your computer. 
  • If you have any USB or DVD in the computer, please disconnect it.
  • Perform a power reset on the computer. Click here for assistance. 
  • Disconnect the adapter, remove the battery (if it can be removed)
  • Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to drain the static in the computer. 
  • Connect the adapter and battery to the computer. 
  • Turn the computer ON and keep tapping F2 or ESC repeatedly on startup. 
  • This should get you to a Startup Menu and from there you can select System Diagnostics. 
  • Please select system diagnostics and run a system test. 
  • If the test fails, please contact our phone support team for the service options.
  • If the test passes. Please exit system diagnostics.
  • Go back to the Startup menu and select recovery manager. 
  • In recovery manager, please select troubleshoot and then select advanced options. 
  • In advanced options, please select automatic repair. 

If your computer is not booting to System diagnostics or recovery manager. 

Perform a power reset again. 

Turn the computer On while holding Win + B keys on the keyboard.
