Ok so here is the problem. Sometimes when i start my computer it doesnt boot to windows 10 and just freezes at the Asus logo. This happens like one out of three times. But then after you press the restart button it boots normally. Pc specs:

Cpu: i7-2600k 4,5 Ghz
Mobo: Asus sabertooth z77
Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S
Gpu: Gtx 560 ti (i am going to upgrade to a rx 580 8gb)
RAM: 8gb corsair 1333mhz
Psu: Corsair Ax 650w
Case: Fractal design define r4
SSD: samsung 840 evo 250gb

I have no idea why this is happening and i would really like to know what the problem is since its getting a bit annoying. Would it help to downgrade to win 8 or 7?

Thanks!

Hello ItzRaven

I was wondering if you tried checking the RAM sticks by pulling them out one at a time and booting the computer only with one RAM?

If you find the RAM sticks OK, you can try clearing the BIOS by:
> Powering off the PC.
> Unplugging it from the power supply.
> Removing the system case cover.
> Pulling out the CMOS battery.
> Leaving the PC alone for 45-60 minutes.
> Restarting the PC, first without battery and then with it.

If none of the solutions work, you might want to update the BIOS and see if that fixes the issue.
(Note: Please make sure to back up the current BIOS before updating it in order to avoid any inconsistencies.)

Feel free to report back if further assistance is needed.

Good Luck!! :)
