Ok guys it’s, a BIOS Problem, a student of mine at NIIT Ghana brought me a laptop, which he formatted with Windows 8 and his not able to install some softwares after the format – I taught for a while and told him to go for a BIOS Update.
Unluckily for him, he came the next class day, saying;
“Sir, i updated and now my PC cannot boot across the BIOS anymore, when i press the power button, it loads the BIOS and shutdown.”
Meanwhile the Windows 8 installation is still intact on the system. And here is how i figured it out;

Hi I have a problem with my samsung 300e5c on the boot menu the is only one option
which is windows boot, I can’t boot from usb or cd
OK Chumani, can you hold on the ‘F2’ or ‘ESC’ after powering on the PC. So it can load you into the BIOS.
Then you follow the step above.
press f3 to boot from cd rom
press f5 to boot from USB DRIVE
Mine same brand does enter BIOS just restart at get stuck at boot menu.
Thank You
