[SOLVED] Blue Screen on first boot then normal on 2nd boot.

[kikoman24]

So, my unit has been with me since october 2019, Ever since I have tried everything possible but could really not find a solution to this.

The issue is this:

On it's first boot up, it will run for a few minutes but will suddenly crash and get blue screen then reboots itself. Then it will take a long time around 4-5 minutes bootup time but After that it will run normally without any problem even if it is on for 24/7 with Really High usage. I normally use (Photoshop, After effects, Illustrator, Visual Studio Code and more apps. Even running multiple android emulators and it won't have any issue.

I have tried, Reinstalling os, Cleaning Ram & Videocards, Updating drivers, updating os, etc. and it still has the same issue. I've tried using BIT (Burn-in-Test), OCCT, GPUMemTest, Windows Memtest, and all possible app to stress test it and I found no problem with it whatsoever.

Here is my Full Specs when I first bought it:

Intel core i7-9700

Gigabyte B360 Aorus Gaming 3

(4) 8gb hyper x 2666

Gigabyte RTX2060 6gb ddr6 Windforce OC

Samsung 970evo NVMe m.2 ssd 500gb

1tb Seagate sata

Omega X1 rgb Case

Seasonic 750watts focus plus gold

ID Cooling Aura flow 120 Cpu cooler

(2) 24” BenQ IPS Led Monitor

And this is its specs on Speccy Now:

I am stressed out on figuring out what causes the blue screen hopefully someone can have an insight on this.

Thanks!

That shot shows a CPU temperature of 97C. GPU shows 81C. Does it usually get that hot? Or was it under specific heavy load (gaming) when the shot was taken?

HDD are also over 50C. Which is too high and not safe for HDDs in long term.

Hi, Thanks for taking your time to respond. Well, those temps are its usual temperature. Unless I remove the case side panel. I will try to put thermal paste on the cpu later but as I've read on another thread regarding my Processor the high temp seems to be an issue with the processor itself. In anycase, Although it reaches high temps sometimes it goes higher than 99 to 101c it don't have any problem aside from the first boot-up issue.

You mean you didn't apply themal paste when first installed?! That is an AIO cooler right?

I'm not sure about average temps for a Core i7-9700 (idle and under load) but even the Core i9-9700K (which can be overclocked and results in higher temps) I don't think shouldn reach those temps even under load and gaming, especially with an AIO cooler. If those temp readings are correct 99-101C is almost the maximum operating temps and themal junction at which the CPU shuts down the system to prevent damageto itself.

You might need to make sure the cooler is properly installed and operating properly.

Note: If you don't have prior experience or are unsure about testing temps and applying themral paste and such maybe it's best to take it to professionals.

I mean, it does have it's default thermal paste when you first buy it right, but since it reached almost 3 years now I was thinking maybe it's time to replace it could've dried out already.

I will try to reseat the cooler today but I am pretty sure I've installed it correctly. Although I still don't think it's the cause of the main issue which is :

On the first boot up it crashes to blue screen then reboot. But after the reboot, it works without any issue

Yes that 3 year period might make the paste lose some of it's heat conductivity characteristics.

That PSU you have is a good quality unit which makes this a bit unlikely but having to power cycle sometimes indicates a failing PSU. Can you check the system with another PSU and see it it does that? Also turn the PSU switch off then on and see if it boots without the BSOD>crash>reboot.

Again those temps are not normal with an AIO cooler. Checking if re-seating the cooler and applying new paste would keep temps lower is a good idea. That might resolve the crashes too.

So I did 2 things today.

1. I have added a new thermal paste in the processor they've all dried up.
1.1 Also Checked the installation of AIO and confirmed nothing was wrong with it.
2. I replaced CMOS battery, I have seen in a post somewhere that it fixed the issue with them although they have slightly different issue and that post was about like 2005.

So far it's been running now for over 30mins and still hasn't gone any BSOD/Crashes.
Although weirdly enough the Processor Temp is still over 97C. Everything else is normal
will continue to monitor this for now.


Thanks !

Ok. So I turned it off for 6 hours and tried to boot it up once again, still after bootup i get 97c temp on processor, and the BSOD still happened after a few minutes of first bootup. 2nd boot up is still slow but runs normally again. 😅
