Steps to Fix ASUS A541U Startup Problems

Check the Power Supply and Connections

First of all, make sure that your laptop has enough power. Then check whether the power adapter is properly connected with the charging port. If it does not charge the battery, then try another charger or another power outlet.

Reset the Battery

For laptops with removable batteries, remove the battery and hold down the power button for about 30 seconds to discharge any residual power. Reconnect the battery and attempt to boot the device.

Perform a Hard Reset

A hard reset can resolve temporary glitches. To do so:

1. Disconnect all external devices.
2. Hold down the power button until it turns itself off.
3. Wait some seconds and then hit the power button again to start it.

Automatic Repair

If your problem started after a recent update, the built-in Windows’ Automatic Repair tool may resolve it for you. Disconnect your device from the internet before proceeding.

• Turn off your laptop. Turn it back on.
• When the rotating circle or loading screen appears, press and hold the Power button until the laptop powers off again.
• Repeat this process a few times until the “Preparing Automatic Repair” screen appears.
• On the “Automatic Repair” screen, select Advanced Options, then choose Troubleshoot.
• To keep your data while fixing the system, click Refresh your PC.
• If you prefer a clean system configuration and don’t need your files, select Reset your PC.
• Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the recovery process.

Important Notes:

• Selecting Refresh your PC retains your personal files but removes installed programs.
• Reset your PC only if you have backed up your data since everything on the laptop will get deleted.

Update or Reinstall the Graphics Driver

Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can sometimes prevent the system from booting. To address this:

1. Boot into Safe Mode.
2. Open the Device Manager and locate the Display Adapters section.
3. Right-click your graphics driver and select Update Driver or Uninstall Driver if updating doesn’t resolve the issue.

For easy driver updates, consider using Outbyte Driver Updater to keep all your drivers up to date.
