    Question Computer takes forever to boot, comes up with "Reboot and select proper Boot device", requiring several restarts before working fine

    Every time I turn on my PC, it will give me the "Reboot and select proper Boot device" error. I have to restart the computer once, twice, sometimes four times before it finally boots to Windows, but takes longer than normal, sometimes over a minute. What's also weird, is that sometimes the boot...

    Question Computer taking longer to boot, boots to BIOS twice then to windows?

    So after unplugging my other ssd, it would still boot to bios twice, but when it would boot to windows it did so at normal speed. As a last ditch effort I swapped the sata cables and now it boots straight to windows at normal speed. What's strange is I remember my first attempt at fixing this...

    Question Computer taking longer to boot, boots to BIOS twice then to windows?

    1. Just tried that, it booted to BIOS again, then after restarting it took a while but finally booted to Windows. 2. Only lists the C: drive in msconfig boot tab Edit: Also, just tried restarting again after setting the BIOS to defaults, and randomly it came up with "Let's finish setting up...

    Question Computer taking longer to boot, boots to BIOS twice then to windows?

    1. Can't say for sure, maybe a month? I wish I could be more exact. 2. I did that in case the connector was coming undone, it hasn't seemed to have made a difference. 3. Gotcha thank you 4. The Kingston has Windows and the Samsung is for storage yes.

    Question Computer taking longer to boot, boots to BIOS twice then to windows?

    Every time I turn on my PC, it will boot to BIOS, I'll click save and exit and it will restart. It will then boot to BIOS again. When I click save and exit again and hit restart, it boots to Windows, but takes longer than normal, sometimes over a minute. What's also weird, is that sometimes the...

    [SOLVED] Random shut offs, now won't boot but fans are running

    Installed the new PSU today and I am currently writing this response on the PC that used to not boot. Seems to be working fine right now so I'm thinking my old PSU was busted. I will update this thread if I run into the problem again!

    [SOLVED] Upgrading old PC, noise a concern - which would you choose? (Rx580 or...)

    It means it will not bottleneck; the CPU won't hold back the GPU and vice versa.

    Question Very poor 5700 XT performance?

    Shot in the dark here.. but what PSU are you using? Have you confirmed it is capable of running your system? I assume it would be, as you didn't had issues with your 1080 but I'm still curious.

    [SOLVED] Upgrading old PC, noise a concern - which would you choose? (Rx580 or...)

    I would recommend the 5500 XT as it has slightly higher performance and it pairs perfectly with your processor. As for quietness.. I don't have these cards so I could not tell you exactly how loud they are, but I'm sure good air flow in your case will keep the fans speeds relatively low. They...

    [SOLVED] Random shut offs, now won't boot but fans are running

    Thanks for your detailed response. The old PSU I tried is quite low on wattage, which is why I didn't have my GPU plugged in. I decided to order a new PSU, and I'm also in the process of upgrading nearly every component on my PC. I will report back here if the new PSU fixes my old system for...

    [SOLVED] Random shut offs, now won't boot but fans are running

    I would hope it would point to which component is broken - PSU or motherboard. With the (possibly broken) PSU, the motherboard makes absolutely no beeps whatsoever when I press the power button. I also tried it without the GPU installed and initially there were no beeps either. I tested my old...

    [SOLVED] Random shut offs, now won't boot but fans are running

    Thanks for everyone's input. I don't have the opportunity to stress test anything as the computer won't even boot. I suppose the only way of knowing its the PSU is by swapping it for a quick test. I'm not sure when I'll get the opportunity to do that but I'll keep it in mind. Hesitant to ask...

    [SOLVED] Random shut offs, now won't boot but fans are running

    GPU: RX 480 PSU: Seasonic S12 II Bronze 620W Mobo: 970A-UD3P Randomly, my computer would shut off without warning, but the fans and power light would stay on. It happened both while under a full load and while idling. I would have to shut off the PSU and turn it back on to restart my PC. It...

    Question Computer Freezing Then Recovering Again

    I'm bumping this because I still haven't found a fix. I ran chkdsk on all my drives again and I'm still getting the freezes. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do, please
