Hello there!

I have a boot problem.

First of all, I can only install OS with MBR partition mode (and not GPT) in my case by using a USB flash disk as the media to install OS.

But the main problem is after Installing the OS (I've tested windows 10 and linux ubuntu like thousands of times with different versions) the notebook is not able to load the OS, it sticks in hp logo screen and the hdd LED turns and remains on like it's being used.

I've checked hdd (Quick test) and it passed. Even tried windows 10 diagnosis in installation screen (startup repair) and it said "windows 10 couldn't repair the problem, a log has been saved in E:\windows\system32\..." (which I created just one partition but I suppose it called the drive E because a USB disk and DVD drive itsel may reserved C and D).

So what is the problem?

Thanks
