Here is the long story:
One month ago I began experiencing random system stutters. These stutters would often freeze the system and have the audio buzz for a split second then continue normally. At first, they were infrequent but as time passed they became more noticeable. The system stutters...
I made a win 10 bootable usb with windows media creation tools back in 2018 and was wondering if I could still use it.
I'm wondering if it's outdated or not. I'm intending to install windows 10 on a new machine with the same usb.
Yes, I believe there have been some updates available the last time I checked. I've actually never updated the bios since I built this machine in 2015. I've never had any problems since the initial install.
I'll look into resetting the BIOS.
Would restarting opposed to shutting down be affected...
I took the RAM modules out and gave them a good dusting to be sure and it started up with no problems.
However, I did another boot just to be sure and I encountered the same problem. It will continually boot loop until it finally boots successfully.
