Computer not booting confirmed working USB
jraju:
hi, Taco
It seems that your bios system supports flash drive boot. Did you get past POST , then you get the command promt blinking and sound of the system, denotes that it is having problem in POST stage. Did you check the Ram. Defective Ram also cause this problem if it is defective, or unerased memory in it. Just try this. . Remove the Rams , and clean them with soft cloth and place them again. Check. if it ok, then boot . If not , remove the battery cmos and clean it and then put in the place. Try this.
There is another way, just remove the battery , short circuit, the two nodes, by making contact the battery base with the side holders of battery, thereby erasing electronic memory from residue, if any. Place the battery and try to boot.
Please remove the plug from socket before attempting this.
Normally your failure to get past POST stage, is caused by RAM. If one of the Ram is defective and the other is working, this may result in failure of boot. Try to remove the extra ram if any, leaving the least memory required to test. Failure of RAM is the major cause of the computer not to boot up,
Did you check the uSB whether it is bootable

When you plug the USB in and then tap F12 to get to the boot order change, is the USB listed by name ?
As it works on other machines then there shouldn't be a need to format it and recreate it - I use Windows USB/DVD Burner Tool for my Win 7 bootable media.

I was looking for this MS Fixit yesterday but couldn't find it https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/mats/windows_usb_diagnostics
Plug the USB in and give the Fixit a run to see if it reports anything.

From earlier posts, it has worked in other machines - it just isn't being read on this one within Windows or is it being recognised as having an OS to boot up with.

Hi, Boggins,
Is that means that he has tried to check the boot in running windows on other computers?
