Hi, and thanks in advance.
About a month ago I built this PC and everything has been running smoothly until last night. It was on but idling while I was out of the room, and I returned to find it had rebooted and frozen in BIOS, on the step just before booting into Windows. It required a hard reboot by holding down the power button to get it out of this state, and now attempting to boot puts it in one of three states:
Specs:
It has all been working for about 3 weeks with no problems and I haven't made any changes recently, so I'm pretty confused why it would stop working now. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
CC
EDIT: I realized after posting that this might be better in the systems forum, but its too late now
About a month ago I built this PC and everything has been running smoothly until last night. It was on but idling while I was out of the room, and I returned to find it had rebooted and frozen in BIOS, on the step just before booting into Windows. It required a hard reboot by holding down the power button to get it out of this state, and now attempting to boot puts it in one of three states:
- Frozen before windows, with the usual 4 spinning circles stopped about half a second after the animation starts
- Same as above but with the message "Preparing automatic repair"
- Getting as far as the first option but instantly restarting, going into an infinite loop
Specs:
- Motherboard: MSI AMD X570-A PRO
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000MHz 2x8GB
- GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2060
- PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2
- Storage:
- Samsung 840 120GB (Boot disk)
- Samsung 860 250GB
- Western Digital BLACK 2TB
- OS: Windows 10
It has all been working for about 3 weeks with no problems and I haven't made any changes recently, so I'm pretty confused why it would stop working now. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
