Question PC freezes on startup

[ulmoore]

Hello everyone.

This problem started after my move a month ago. I started getting a BSOD CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED Error. Removing the hard disk fixed that. My OS is on an SSD (clean install).
Now, almost always, my computer freezes at the startup (specifically, on the screen where it tells me what button to press for BIOS). Forcing a shutdown fixes it, though sometimes I need to do that several times to fix it. Then it will start properly.

What I’ve tried:

• Ran memtest86 with no errors.
• Unplugged and plugged back all my cables
• Updated drivers
• Clean install of Windows

It’s certainly a hardware problem, but I am not sure what it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

post is when BIOS checks everything attached. It could be anything stopping it. try starting with no USB attached, just to remove it from blame if nothing else.

try turning this off but I doubt its windows, only suggest as you said restarts can fix - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html

do you have latest BIOS?

PSU only has a 2 year warranty? why would you trust it if they don't after that long.

Could be PSU perhaps, how old is it? 400 watts is sure on the small side.
