boot issues

So, I just finished building my PC, but as the title says, I get the debug light on when two ram sticks are installed. What is odd is that initially, when I first started up the finished build, it all worked dandy, but after changing XMP profile, rebooting, and getting into bios again, the pc...

Windows 11 fully updated and installed on a clean, formatted Samsung 970 M.2 NVMe. On cold boot it will always boot into the Windows Recovery Environment, and then when I've rebooted into the UEFI and restarted that way it boots fine. Continues to stay solid no matter the task after this . . ...

Hi there, recently while I was on my PC I experienced a power outage that caused my PC to shut off and turn back on again a few times. When I booted the computer after power was restored I couldn't get past a black screen with a "-" in the top left corner. After restarting it again It brought...

Hello all. I have a high end pc that I've had for just about a year now. Ever since it was first built, it has had issues with booting, issues with freeze framing/stuttering and issues with games crashing. I'll list my specs here and then afterwards go into a more detailed breakdown of the...

My boot drive is reporting it has raw file system (instead of NTSF in Win 10 Disk Management) and will not boot. I have a spare boot drive so the machine is up but it does not have all of my most current environment. I can see all the files on the bad drive with several disk management...

Hello, Every time I launch my MacBook air, it shows the apple icon and a loading bar. This loads to about a third of the way then crashes every time. I've tried all sorts (safe boot, disk utility, reset SMC) the only thing which will stop it is if I go into options/disk utility menu on boot...

My friends ssd is no longer being found as a boot device or at all in the bios. I've swapped the ports and still nothing. I've updated bios and still nothing. The ssd is a team group one and it's only been used for about 2 months. But it was working perfectly fine. She left for a few days and...

As the title says, Ive been having an issue where my pc would randomly turn on and off by itself even if it was previously shut down. It won't even POST just ON for 2-3 sec, off for 2-3 SEC and repeat. After some testing I thought why not try and remove the power switch and just short it with a...

Hi all, My PC's been running fine for years until today, when it decided to misbehave - when I switched it on, there was no display output and the monitor went into sleep mode. I took the side of the case off, and the POST code LED on the board was indicating code A2 (IDE Detect). It hasn't...

To briefly explain, I was not the one who originally changed the cooler. All fans and the water cooler header (corsair H60) were plugged into the correct spots. It's a 3pin on a 4 pin header on the mobo for the cooler, all other fans are 4 pin. The only thing aside from that that's changed is a...

I woke up today after using my pc successfully the other night and found mysf stuck in a boot repair loop, I tried various of things on the internet such as trying to go into safe mode (it wouldn't even let me do that) and a lot of cmd stuff which didn't work (friend said it's because I don't...

I have random boot issues that are automatically resolved during the boot process. I haven't had any recent power outages or surges. This always happens at random. I shut my PC down, and then out of nowhere, it gives me a boot error that repairs itself. Any fixes for this issue? Any help is...

Hey guys, I built a new PC and did a clean Windows 10 install. It was going well, until I reached the part about installing drivers. Now, I installed a few from the MOBO manufacture site (an x570 Gigabyte in this case) at once, then did a restart for them to install fully. At first, it was...

I recently got new parts Am320 pro max GTX 1060 SC 6GB Ryzen 5 1600 AF 8GB Crucial Balistix 16gb 3200mhz ram 600W PSU And I first got the parts and the cpu pins came bent me stupidly not realising put the cpu in the motherboard and built the pc as if it never happened since i didnt realise at...

I'm confused. I think both of my drives are failing and my boot drive (SSD) is still 98% health but the HDD is 30% health (the PC is 7 years old now I think). My issue right now is that my PC sometimes fails to boot up (the GPU was running but the rest won't.) so I had to powercycle for like...

I recently put a pc together. At first it wasn’t booting properly but I connected it to a video output and took some other steps which aren’t important. The important thing is that it booted. I assumed that what I had wrong was a front panel cable which was slightly out, but when I went to boot...

Like the title says, 3 year old build that was working fine this morning. Turned it on to download a game and left it for a few hours, came back and display port wasnt detecting the PC. Reset the PC and now its in a constant BSOD loop. Cant try normal fixes as It wont run in safe mode. And will...

So today I updated my gigabyte b450m ds3h from bios ver. F50 to F60c so I could upgrade my cpu to a 3rd gen cpu, and after it wasn’t seeing a boot drive, and I got into the bios and put my boot drive as first priority, then restarted, then it boots with the reboot and select proper reboot device...

So I bought an EVGA SC2 1080 Ti about 2 years ago. I started to notice problems with the graphics card at the beginning of 2020. These problems include my display randomly freezing for a few seconds and not being able to play games on high graphics settings. The problems got to a point where I...

Not sure if right thread if its a mobo ,ram or a display issue. So my friend is currently having issues with his system atm. Hes been having ram issues with it not running at the xmp/docp rating where it caused his system to not boot half the time. However as of recent he has upped the voltage...

Hi, I've been having some trouble with my computer giving out a VGA error light whenever I try to boot. I've tried switching out my GPU, motherboard, and have performed troubleshooting to the farthest extent that I possibly can. I've tried looking online for a knowledgable source or database...

Hello all and thanks for reading my thread! Sorry, it's a long one! Recently, while I was using photoshop on my windows 10 pc I was suddenly faced with a blue screen causing my computer to restart. Everything had been running very smoothly up until this point, no odd behaviour. After...

I was having overheating issues after 3 years of solid running with no problems. I boiled it down to a failed h100i cooler pump. (which started making whining noises) I swapped my i5-6600k for an i5-9400 just to use the stock cooler for now, and bought a GTX 1660S to replace my RX480 all for...

Hi I recently upgraded my cpu from a 1700x to a 3600 and at the same time replaced the cooler with an aio water cooler. The system powers on but either freezes at the bios screen where you hit f2/DEL to enter bios or just endlessly sticks at the screen directly after the bios entry screen...

I originally built my system in 2016 with an i5 6600k, Asus Z170-A board and Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080. Decided to upgrade the CPU and GPU recently (see specs below) to get better performance but I've been having many issues since the rebuild. CPU, motherboard and GPU were upgraded, no other...

So recently I put together a new system and it was working fine for about two days until I was in the middle of playing a game and all of a sudden my screen goes grey and the whole system crashes. I then power down my PC and when i go to turn it back on it wont boot, I cant even get to the...

So earlier today, I wanted to update the software with MSI live update 6 and it also included a bios update. I ran the live update and the screen went black and nothing else worked other than fans (i couldnt see if the mobo was also working, i just heard fans spinning). So i opened it up and...

New pc build has been working great for little over 2 months. The pc went to sleep yesterday afternoon for like 4 hours, tried to wake it back up and nothing but black screen, 34” LG monitor not responding. I forced restart and the BSOD showed up “Kernal Security Check Failure”. I couldn’t...

I recently transported my PC in a car to a new city. I run Win10 on a 7200 rpm hard drive, the boot process usually only takes a couple minutes. This is not the first time I've moved it, but this time around, this happens: I turn it on. I get a black screen - there is signal, but nothing is on...

Here are my specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gqZtV6 And the old PSU: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ648d/corsair-power-supply-cp9020101na I suspect the video card is unstable - the reason I bought the new PSU is actually because the PC crashes when I run FurMark, and someone suggested...

Hey everyone, I have a problem. My PC refuses to boot. It will get to the splash screen and then freeze, upon rebooting I get a bsod and a "critical process has died" error.
