    Hi guys,

    Does anyone have a link to the recovery media?

    For some reason I can't get back into the bios to reformat after upgrading to windows 8.1

    (I have the USB stick from them. The thing just isn't working to boot from. And I can't pull up the bios via del/f1, nor can I get a boot select screen)

    Thanks!

    PS: The 'hold home, hold power to green light, release power, tap Vol up', isn't working either.

    Also, does anyone have the normal idle temps from OpenHardware monitor for the edge pro?

    Hey guys, I'm not sure if my USB key is faulty or if it's a security feature of 8.1, but I can't boot from USB nor get to bios via key presses or hardware buttons.

    However, I found a way!

    Using the Recovery Key in the USB3 port (The one on top of the tablet, it's green) and the HDMI dock for a usb keyboard, follow these directions:
    1) Go into ' Advanced Startup' (Goto POWER and HOLDING SHIFT click on RESTART)
    b) OR Win8.0, swipe in CHARM BAR, click on PC Settings, 'General', 'Advanced Restart'
    c) OR in Win8.1, swipe in CHARM BAR, click on PC Settings, 'Update and Recovery', 'Recovery', Advanced Startup/'Restart Now'
    2) Once there, you'll click on ' USE A DEVICE'.
    3) Next, ' INTERNAL SHELL'
    3) Once you are there, type ' FS1:' [ENTER]
    4) then type ' EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI' [ENTER]

    The device will then reboot into Razer's recovery media. From there you can reformat the device. (For the techie's, it's a custom WIM installer).

    PS: Razer cannot upload the recovery files for the device because of a contract they have signed with microsoft. Something about anti-piracy.
    I am still looking for idle temps of the edge pro, if anyone can post some! - THNX!
