Hello, fellow tech peeps, I need some advice!
A few days ago, I decided to finally upgrade my pc from Windows 10 to 11, thinking to myself ‘ah we’re good, nothing bad should happen.’ Boy, was I Wrong. The first day after upgrading, it worked as normal. The day after that, it asked me to update, which I did. But, now my computer’s stuck in a perpetual MOBO logo screen loop. It’ll start, get into the logo screen where you can choose to go into the BIOS, get after that which is the MOBO logo screen between the BIOS setup and the Windows Splash screen, and promptly crashes and restarts. While I’m aware that it could’ve something up with the system, I’m fairly certain that it’s something that happened with the update. I really hope y’all can help!
MOBO Gigabyte Aorus Gaming Wifi Z370
CPU Intel i7-8086K
GPU MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Dual
RAM 4x16GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro White 3200
Boot Drive Samsung 860 Qvo 2TB SSD
Secondary Storage SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB
Cooling 3 Corsair RGB LL-120 fans and Corsair H100i with its two stock fans
Power Supply Seasonic (can’t remember the exact product but I know I made sure the wattage on it worked with the system, and it’s gold+)
couple notes: I’ve had this system for a few years now, and the only other issue I’ve had is another Windows related issue. I previously only had the 1TB drive in the system, and that was my boot drive. An update basically messed with my system, then, too. I figured a solution I’d check out was a secondary drive (needed one anyways for space) so I bought the Samsung 2TB and then put a clean install of windows 10 on that, and system worked beautifully. I suppose what happened is the update corrupted my original Windows Install on the 1TB, which is why I believe that’s what’s happening here, too.
Another note: I do have a windows 10 Boot USB Flash Drive. I’ve been able to successfully boot into it, but there isn’t a reset mode, for whatever reason it’s not letting me use my external HDD for restoration, and everything else I’ve tried hasn’t worked. Odd thing is when I go into command prompt, it shows the directory as X:, not C:.
Last note: I’ve taken out each of my RAM sticks and tried putting each in by themselves to see if it’s a RAM issue, but it doesn’t seem to be. RAM also seems to be registering just fine in Easy Mode.
