    This happened to me. Turned out that one of my RaM dims wasn't pushed in all the way.  So check for that and then I would see if your RaM went bad too.

    Okay so.. This f11 and f9 and f8 stuff was really confusing me because none of it was working for my ASUS. But. That's when I learned that different brands have different keys for their recovery. So, say if you have an ASUS computer it's f9. If any of these keys aren't working just search your computers brand and recovery key.

    After much grief I had to have the hard drive replaced.  They would not say just what happened, but that was the only option left.
