So the title says it all really and I have no idea how to work with UEFI bios so all the help would be greatful, its running windows 8 and freezes before I get chance to run windows, even safe mode.

So I was able to figure out how to get UEFI bios to boot from disc but I'm still stuck with the same problem, weather I try loading from the disc or HDD it freezes after particular loading points, ie: shortly after the windows loading screen when the screen goes black.

The laptop is less than a month old and looks to be a sealed unit so to speak so there is no way of accessing the HDD to try boot in another machine as a slave.

What would you do? :)

tried booting windows 7 and 8 but freezes after 'starting windows' screen has loaded so I'm left with a blank screen and a curser each time. I really am stuck on this one.
