freeze at boot

UPDATE: Sent PC to repair guy and after much investigation, he found out that the last update I installed for Windows 10 causes boot to freeze on my motherboard. He tried installing a prior version of Win10 and it worked fine. Story: PC worked fine. Did a Windows update the day before...

When i boot up my pc i either, freeze at the welcome screen when i sign in, or i sign in sucsesfully and try to do my normal stuff and my pc freezes and lags badly, i have updated windows, drivers, scanned my pc for viruses and ran a disk clean up. Nothing has helped!!

So my computer usually needs more than one try do boot up, it freezes on the boot screen and sometimes in the windows 10 loading screen. When it needs more than 3 restarts , give or take, it doesn't recognise the ethernet cable, that's the only visible issue i can identify. I've recently...

Hello PC people. I'm a newcomer, and I need some help on my PC build. Bought it off Facebook awhile back. Said to be a "Low-end Gaming Desktop". Turned out not to be. I played around with it, and eventually got it working with Windows 10. Sluggish on start, but works up to speed. A few days...

Hi, Im running a pretty old system (around 9 years) (2600k, asrock z77 ex4, gtx 970) - I don't rule out a hardware failure (my bet is psu) but wanted to consult. The PC is booting one in 10/15 times - it freezes at loading circle dots and then shuts down. It can boots in safe mode every time...

Hey! So basically I changed my motherboard to an ASRock B550 with 32 GB Ram and an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. As soon as I booted the system the Windows Symbol showed up but not even the Circles. Naturally I started the automatic repair- nothing happened. So I got myself an USB with Windows 10, tried...

I have an MSI GE72 2QF Apache Pro, the fans went out in it so I replaced the fans today, as well as replaced the thermal paste. After installing the new fans and paste, it ran great for a little over an hour and played Final Fantasy XIV to test the new fans, and the installation was a success...

Please help me with this completely incomprehensible problem. I’ve been at this for two weeks now, and I am at the end of my rope. This is not my first build. Win10 installs, goes through “setting up devices”, then “Getting Ready”, then it restarts, the splash screen refreshes three times, and...

So I recently installed Windows 10 64-bit on an old 64-bit compatible PC. During the installation, I made sure to have just one DIMM in the computer because that’s apparently a good way to avoid BSODs and other errors. The installation seemed to go well and was very fast. At the moment I have 2...
