Why is Asus x553ma stuck on the manufacturer's logo?

Question

BIOS

The day before yesterday I bought my wife Asus X553MA, Pentium n3540, RAM 8Gb, HDD 1TB. I bought without an OS, because I did not think that difficulties could arise with this.
I decided to roll 7ku, the disk was in MBR, it was necessary to convert it to GPT. Formatting to GPT via livecd with ubuntu ended with an error. I decided not to bother and before installing Windows through the command line, convert it to GPT. Helped. Winda got up, but after the first reboot, the computer freezes tightly on the Asus splash screen. I can’t enter the boot menu, not the BIOS
Assumptions:
1. Formatting in GPT slammed the zero sector on the HDD, nonsense, but xs
2. The BIOS or motherboard may have died, xs
I’m afraid to disassemble, because the guarantee and if it turns out that the reason is 2 , that would be embarrassing.
Who thinks about this?

Answer 1

Return to the store, say that "It itself"

Answer 2

Replacing the hard drive helped.
I downloaded from my other laptop, by the way, an MBR disk. So the problem is caused by hardware manufacturers and Microsoft, who want everyone to use GPT.
Extortionists.

Answer 3

it doesn't matter GPT or MBR at all, in fact you had to disable Secure Boot and enable Launch CSM after that format as you please

Answer 4

I got a similar problem when installing Windows 10 on a Macbook Pro 7.1 13 "2010.
Before that, I used OSX and Windows 7 / 8.1 on MBR disks.
After updating OSX to 10.11, the disk was converted to GPT and Win8.1 stopped loading.
I rolled a clean Win 10 x64 (in UEFI mode) onto the formatted partition, it successfully installed and started installing firewood for the NVidia GeForce 320M, after that BSOD and constant reboots. In SafeMode mode, I removed NVidia firewood, Windows loaded normally without video drivers. Tried a bunch of NVidia drivers from the site, getting BSODs and reboots. I read on the forums how "good" NVidia removed these GeForce 320M and other "obsolete" video cards from support. I rolled back to Win 8.1 and got the same problems when installing video drivers, which were not observed before the update. I booted Win 7 from another MBR disk, I did not notice any jambs there. I logically found the cause of the problem - EFI / UEFI mode. It is unlikely that the firmware for this model will ever be updated. I had to split the SSD into MBR from scratch, install OSX 10. 11 in MBR mode (there are mechanisms for modifying the installer) and roll Win 10 x64. The flight itself is stable, no BSODs have been detected. What exactly is the problem between the EFI / UEFI mode and firewood for all NVidia GeForce 320M video cards does not make sense to understand, but the problem exists. Most likely a conspiracy to refuse to support junk for the purchase of new equipment, devoid of these problems.
