Boot Loop

I usually like to supervise my PC while it does an update, but I only update a few times a year. My system is also a server and needs to be online pretty much 24/7. This latest update happened while I was away for a D&D game (Thursday night, Feb 1st) . Had tons of stuff open that clearly didn't...

Hey all, I'm having massive issues trying to get anything working after a failed windows 10 update. I'm currently not sure if it is a Windows issue, or a HW issue following the failed windows update, so wasn't sure where exactly this question should be posted. Yesterday, I applied the latest...

Hello, About a year ago my PC began booting to a black screen after the bios logo. USB devices boot when the PC come on, then all die when the black screen hits. I tried factory resets, brand new installs on a brand new NVME and nothing could stop it from happening. I thought it must be a PSU...

In March 2022, my 4 year old MSI GP62 8RE stopped booting on battery power. It would go into boot loop which forced me to use the AC adapter to use the laptop all the time. But for the past few weeks when I'm using the laptop on AC power it will randomly restart out of nowhere. My battery...

I've been battling with my machine for weeks now, hoping for community's ideas or experience. My PC usually fails on boot and enters a restart loop. Typically, it passes the ASUS (mobo) screen and shuts down during the Windows load screen with the wheel spinning. The PC will auto-restart...

I can't access the windows troubleshooting menu, because I read somewhere how turning it off using command prompt will help (it didn't). And now I can't access BIOS because MSI's fast boot setting was on. I made a USB boot drive but it doesn't seem to be working. This is a mess, I know. Thank...

Hi, I’m new to building pc, and I thought I’d give it a try. I visited pcpartpicker to check the compatibility of each components so I wouldn’t run into any unexpected issues. Unfortunately, if I’m here today, is because I ran into some issues. It all comes down to booting up windows 10. Once I...

Hi everyone, I’m losing my mind here - hopefully you all can help! For the last few months or so my 3 year old PC would have significant difficulty starting up. Once it was running it was fine, but every time it got turned off it would get stuck in a boot cycle with no POST, then finally...

Hello guys, so I have a primary drive with the recovery partition. And I had it cloned from another drive which I no longer used. I figured I would delete the recovery partition on that drive and use the free space since I already have a recovery drive on my OS drive. After deleting that...

Hi I recently installed Windows 11 latest Dev insider Build (3-4 days ago). Today during normal usage it just suddenly went to BSOD and was showing an error related to IRQL. So I restarted and it came again and it was same for an hour. I tried using SFC /SCANNOW in startup repair but it didn't...

My PC started off with blue screens related to memory, then I managed to fix those by clearing dust out of the DIMM slots (I think). Now I’m having three problems. 1. My PC will just freeze and remain unresponsive until restarted, where it will sometimes go into a boot loop. 2. I’ll get some...
