I have an ASUS G750JX laptop running Windows 8.1 that's recently been experiencing difficulty booting. The hard disk light flickers off after a few seconds and the computer just sits on a black screen until it's turned off.
Previously, holding the F2 button would cause the hard disk light to flicker weakly for a while, and the next attempt at turning it on would be successful, but now that won't even work. The hard disk light is on, and shutting down requires holding the button down longer, but the screen stays black.
A bad overclock attempt which caused a crash alongside severe graphical glitching occurred immediately before the problem started.

2Disassemble the laptop and remove the cmos battery for a few minutes, reinsert the battery and power up after assembly, then immediately enter the bios and set date and time. – Moab – 2016-04-18T18:52:49.673
@Moab Left it out for a little over 5 minutes, no change – RakeMerger – 2016-04-18T20:38:19.383
