Hey guys so my pc windows 11 is getting frozen on the motherboard logo screen with the little dots in a circle when I try to boot it up, although this is a normal issue I have tried all of the normal solutions and not had anything work. I have not added any new hardware to my pc in the last year. the last thing I did was replace the motherboard December 2022 because one of my ram channels was bad but it has been working fine since. It does boot to the bios and I can do some things from there but I cannot get it to load an operating system. Hardware in my pc: MSI b550 mobo ryzen 7 5700g 16gb gskill ram 650w power supply 3070 500gb m.2 with windows 1tb hhd additional storage List of things I have tried: 1. turn it off and back on 2. check bios to make sure all hardware is reporting (it is) 3. restore factory defaults on bios 4.remove cmos battery 5. replace cmos battery 6. remove each stick of ram leaving only 1 8gb stick in the pc 7. removed gpu attempting to boot on integrated 8. created hirens recovery cd (usb) to try to boot from 9. removed each storage device attempting to boot from usb only 10. hold shift to try to force recovery mode every time its the same result. it just freezes even on the usb it still froze. I am loosing my mind here trying to figure out what is causing this. I feel like after all the tests I have done it has to be either the motherboard or cpu but it seems so strange that I can get in to the bios just fine. Any ideas would be awesome!

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600g MOBO: Gigabyte A520M AORUS Elite RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR4 3600 MHz (PC4-28800) C18 1.35V Boot Drive (only one in the computer): Crucial P2 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD Up to 2400MB/s GPU: Powercolor RX80 8GB This is a computer I made around December of 2021 for my fiance. I gave it to her initially without the RX580 because she didn't need more than the iGPU in the 5600g. We've now moved and I put my old RX580 into her computer. I did put in 2 additional 8GB RAM sticks by Corsair in slots 1 & 3 at the same time as installing the GPU, but the computer never booted with them (and I didn't have the time), so I took them out immediately. The computer worked for a few weeks with the GPU and then one day it was not able to boot into Windows 11. I got the message "Reboot and select proper boot device" After watching some videos I figured the NVME died. So I made a bootable USB to check if it could detect the drive, and it did. All of the files on the drive can be seen. I went into the bios and checked the boot priority and it's for the only drive that is connected. One thing I did notice in the bios and I also noticed this after going back into the booted USB but it says that there is only 8GB of RAM detected when there are 2 sticks put in. Could the RAM be causing this Windows boot error? Any help would be appreciated! -
So, a little while back my gpu was acting up so I installed some amd drivers using the auto install software (on every piece of software I can find as well as on the back of the gpu itself I cannot find the exact model and the closest I can get is a g 200 series) when I rebooted I noticed some pixels acting up at the bottom and top of my screen, I thought nothing of it and rebooted my pc to do some checks in bios but when I did it came up completely green and unreadable. I managed to fix this by restarting my pc (sad) and cleaning it out and servicing the parts. But now the problem has occurred again but restarting did not seem to do anything, I’m really stuck on this one. Edit: the picture at the very bottom is what my inbuilt gpu looks like

It's my first build so the issue could be very obvious or even downright stupid. Parts: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18hfedDw-NkfCiTjuJvx-X1gK_Nc7zXllxW3Yox4IN0E/edit?usp=drivesdk -
Hi, I just installed a new SSD in my secondary M.2. Slot and got this on my screen when trying to turn it on "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". I've pressed F12 to select the correct boot drive (the new drive is recognized there). I also tried to restart and press the delete button. In there I went to the BIOS and saw that the Boot option priorities is #1 for my prior SSD and #2 for the just installed SSD (tried to disable the #2 as well, which didn't work). Then I went to "save and exit" and selected "Load optimized Defaults" which didn't work either. Does anyone know what to do? Help would be much appreciated! -
So I don't know lots about PCs (enough for me to get by) but my PC has been having boot errors for the past day without having any previous issues. It's an almost year old pre-build so I don't think it's an internal error but everything I've tried to find on Google/YouTube has not helped me. The PC turns on like normal, all the lights inside and fans turn on but the monitor shows that there is no DP signal from my PC. Then it loads to the 'checking media presence' error screen where the media is present and it's trying to do PXE over IPv4/IPv6. I go into the BIOS to try to set my hard drive as top boot priority but there is no hard drive it's just the 'PXE IPv6 Realtek PCIe GBE family controller' and the same but IPv4. I went into CSM and enabled it and set all the boot modes to legacy but when I restart my computer it brings up the 'reboot and select boot device error screen.' After that I went into BIOS again and the only boot device available was a SATA. I reset all the changes and it took me back to the first error screen. I feel like windows may be corrupted/lost but I don't know what to do so I would appreciate any help from anyone who knows. My motherboard is ASUS so the BIOS is also different to the standard windows one.

Bought a light gaming laptop for the wife, have had it for over a year. She really doesn't use it often, not even every day. Every once in a while, it freaks out on booting up. Either nothing appears on the screen at all, and we have to shut down manually and restart, or it'll indicate "Windows has recovered from a serious error" and we have to wait 5 minutes for it to figure itself out. Again, very, very light use, not many programs added to it. She keeps it up to date with updates and the like. It's really stupid that it spazzes out and won't turn on properly when it gets to be powered off 95% of the time. I'm going to factory reset the thing, but in case people had suggestions for best approach to resetting, and/or removing prebuilt bloatware, I'm open to suggestions. I build my own PCs but have far less experience with prebuilts and laptops. In theory can I simply install reformat and install Windows fresh, avoiding all Acer software? Any risks to that?

So I was trying to boot up my PC a few times and every time I did it a BSOD error popped up saying that a bfadi.sys driver is missing or corrupted or something like that but after a few more tries it just fixed itself. I didn't do anything, I just booted into BIOS, then the error showed up and after one more restart it was gone. I'm not sure if it's actually fixed or if the next time I'll try to boot up my PC the error will show up again. Is there anything I can do while I still can use my PC to make sure it doesn't happen again? -
Just got a few parts together for a PC but I'm having some trouble with it. I push the power button, all fans start spinning (SPU, PSU, graphics card) but no video signal, and no beep. I've tried switching RAM slots, switching RAM, removing RAM all together I've tried switching the processor I've tried switching the graphics card. Nothing gets me any closer. Switching the processor did seem to fix an odd issue where upon powering it on the graphics card seemed to breathe (surge power then quiet down, making go incredibly loud then quiet, constantly) but beyond that, no change. The parts are quite mismatched and the processor is quite old to avoid ANY compatibility issues that there may be with the motherboard, as of now all I'm trying to get the thing to do is POST. I'm using an MSI P4N SLI-FI mobo Pentium 4 531 @ 3GHz EVGA GTX 670 Sig 2 Is there anything else it may be? Is there anything else I can try before searching for a replacement motherboard?

Hi, My comp has this [specification] (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/dharanikanth.s/saved/ZfkqsY) with custom watercooling installed. I recently bought two more 4gb Corsair vengeance 1600mhz sticks for the comp. But when I try to use all four sticks or RAM, the mobo doesnt post and hangs up at CPU PEI initialization based on debug code on the mobo. I also tried timing the CPU down to the speed it defaults to (1333mhz) and still same issue. It works like 1/10 times where it boots into windows but when I put the comp to sleep and try to power up, the boot fails on me. Anyone encountered this issue before? My CPU is OC'd to 4.6ghz at 1.225v. OC passes AIDA 64 stress test with a max temp of 75C. So OC is stable. I'm just wondering why I'm getting this error while booting with all four sticks. I have tested all the slots and it works fine when I tested both sets of ram individually on every slot by itself. I only get this error when using three or four sticks of RAM. Please help. Thanks, Scarfoot -
Hi everybody. I am in desperate need of help as I am selling my 2012 Macbook Pro. I had already wiped the hdd and had prepared an install dvd with os x lion (being imo the least intensive and still modern looking osx variant). I tested the dvd by booting the mac to it once and saw it worked perfectly. After wiping the HDD however, the mac will no longer boot to the dvd. It shows the apple logo and the spinning grey ball. It will stay like this forever until i force it to shut down. I don't understand why it does this. The Hitachi drive in the mac has 1 large empty partition with the mac os extended (journaled) format. I can't install Lion from the web as i have had to delete the email linked to the itunes account on which I purchased the os. Really a bummer. I have tried doing the same with the dmg file on a guid partitioned usb to get the same result again. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I have been having trouble with my hard drive for a couple weeks now and even reformatting it didn't help. I have an HP p6774y with an EVGA Gtx 660 and 8gb of corsair vengeance DDR3. For about two weeks every time it restarts it stops at a black screen with some words on it (I'll post a picture soon). The only way I could get around it is to go into the boot menu and select my hard drive. I ran the diagnostics and it said the boot system is corrupt or isn't there. Also I noticed alot of my game's have been much slower and some of them didn't even work anymore. So I decided to wipe everything and reinstall windows with a recovery disk I made years ago hoping that would fix everything. Sadly I still have the boot problem. So I'm not really sure what to do, is my hard drive going to always have this problem?

Hello, Today I just sold my old CPU, Motherboard, and GPU to a friend. It is a Xeon X3570, AsusP7P55-E, and R7 260x. The system ran great for over a year for me and I loved it. We overclocked it and did some testing while in my case, then transfered it into his case. And when we did that, booting off his HDD it got into the BIOS fine, but when the system tried to boot windows, I was left with a blinking cursor. After a few hours of basic troubleshooting I brought the system back home with me and put my ssd back in it, and windows booted right up! I'm actually on it right now. Other than reinstalling Windows on his hard drive, do any of you have any idea what might be causing this issue and how to fix it? His Hard Drive was previously installed in his old system and worked fine. And after booting on my SSD, I can view the HDD as a second device and everything looks fine. I know the easy answer is to reinstall Windows but that is really not an option. Any Insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what wont work here. I put together a new Build Including the following parts Motherboard: Gigabyte B450m DS3H BIOS Version.F41 Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 RAM: 8GB Hard Drive: Samsung SSD 860 QVO 1TB Now I CAN get it to boot and function on my old 500GB Dell HDD effortlessly. (Thats how I have been doing but Im revisiting this issue) How do I get this Samsung one to work?? I'm attaching a picture of the notes I took of everything I tried... My original issue was getting Win10 installed onto it, felt confident i got it...but then it kept going into an install loop every time I tried to turn on and LOAD the OS. I could see it was installed on the SSD, but it would still try to prompt me to install Win10, or would give me a "failure to boot" message Since all that failed, I reset everything to default and went about my life with the old HDD Since my last attempts I got a cable to plug the Samsung SSD into my front USB and I installed Windows directly onto it to bypass installing from a separate USB...still won't boot Please help...I want this new SSD to work so badly and I cannot figure out what to do or where the issue is

Hi, I've got a fucking wierd problem. About a month ago or so I did a fresh install of WIndows (as I usually do every few months) but this time something went wrong. When I first built the PC I used an then up to date 60GB Kingston SSD as boot drive. About 2 years ago I upgraded to an 512GB Samsung SSD and from then on used the Samsung as Boot drive and the kingston as additional fast storage. When I refreshed windows the last time, I somehow (maybe by accident) installed windows to the Kingston 60GB. When I found out I thought "never mind, just gonne format the drive when the Samsung is done". As soon as I had W10 installed on the Samsung I tested both drives with the other plugged out and it turns out, that the old Kingston is working with the Samsung plugged out but not the other way around. I tested a bit and found out, that the Kingston need to be plugged in in order to boot the Samsung but as soon as Windows splashes I can plug out the Kingston and operate the Samsung without the Kingston When only having the Samsung plugged in following error appears: When I boot with both drives plugged in, I need to choose from the OS selection screen (its just german- nothing to be afraid of ) I know that I could just totally wipe both of them, but I dont really want to do that that at the current file situation I'm in and secondly I want to find out how to avoid the problem in the future. Does anyone of you have some experience with this?

So, one of my friends had an iPhone 6 Plus with a terrible battery. I had a spare iPhone 7 Plus battery that I didn't need. So I installed it and everything went fine, I replaced the battery and it worked. We decided not to tape the battery down and because the iPhone 7 Plus had to accommodate for the taptic engine the battery was shorter than that of the 6 Plus. It turned on and worked just fine for the rest of the night but it trickle charged and eventually started losing power on the charger and died. The battery moved so much that it broke free of the ribbon cable. So I put another battery in and when I power on the iPhone it shows the Apple logo for a few seconds, then the LCD goes black (but remains on for about a minute or so before turning itself off). It feels like it doesn't pass POST or something. I plugged it into iTunes and tried updating it, but it gave me error 26. If anyone could help me out with this at all it is greatly appreciated.

Hiya, so a quick rundown: my laptop stopped working on me so built myself a new pc. Been using it for around a week and decided to try get some of my data off of my old HDD. Didnt have an adapter so plugged it into my mobo and psu like a normal hard drive, and now the pc wont boot. I've also tried taking the HDD out and done a CMOS reset, but still no luck. Any help would be amazing. -
Hello all, I need help with this current debacle as this is my 3rd PC build I've done and I made sure to use proper ESD protection when building this rig, upon booting i usually get a BSOD with CLOCK-WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT, sometimes i have enough time to get logged into windows before it blue screens again, but I have no experience with these kinds if issues upon Boot, any ideas what could be the problem? I've been able to do some Memory tests to determine that its not my RAM, and I've read on other places that this is usually caused by bad drivers, but I haven' had enough time to install any drivers, and I've removed my 3rd party anti-virus as well. I really hope its not my CPU or anything like that bud i have no other ideas what could be the issue. PLLSSSS HAALLLPP Build Specs -Ryzen 7 2700 CPU -Gigabyte AB-350 Gaming Motherboard -GTX Titan Black(i know its old, i'm saving for a new one) -G.Skiilz Trident DDR4 RAM -EVGA 750W Gold PSU

Hi So I have a Samsung np-rv509-s01hu laptop, which is only able to boot sometimes. The problem is, that the winchester isn't start to spin up, so the windows logo is there, but nothing happens. Tried with ssd, fresh windows, but shows the same issue (btw installing a new system on this machine is a whole another story) After a restart, it may boot, but more likely to not. Then try again and again, and then the windows automatic repair stuff tries to start, but that can't neither. But after a couple of minutes of trying, it boots up, and working, like it should. Now I'm trying to install an update the windows, but I can't, because it's just refuse to boot all the time, and when it finally does, it shows the windows update error popup. Anybody has the solution for this? Thanks

Hey! So I have a bit of an older setup which is: 4960x @ 4.5 p9x79 ws/ipmi 32gb ram @ 2300 (I think, I'll double check) gtx1080 hybrid Silent Pro M2 850W The cpu, ram, and motherboard came from an old high frequency trading server. It was a good deal (I think 350 cad last year), and while I was expecting issues down the road I don't quite know whats causing it. I can boot the computer, and it will very rarely give a bios code or display. Meanwhile, if I boot the computer and flick the power on the PSU on and off via the switch it will do a reboot and boot into windows fine. Its not the best solution so I was curious if you guys could help me out at all I tried using one stick of ram, using a different GPU, I went through OS reset (got a new SSD) , the one thing that I would like to test would be a different power supply but I'd like other peoples opinions before I buy a new one since I don't wanna waste 80 buckeroos on a psu thats just gonna sit around. Thanks ahead of time! I got reccomended to unplug the 6 pin plug to the GPU and then plug it back in and see if it works and, that works and will be fine until I do a complete shut down (turning off computer and then switching the psu off, unplugging it and holding the power button). Occasionally, the computer will also just randomly reboot and when it boots up its fine. I plan on selling some of these parts, so I also just wanna make sure I'm not selling faulty parts. Thanks for the help ahead of time

This is my first post here so let me know if I break any rules. I tried booting this morning after I woke up and as usual I left before it finished to brush teeth etc. When I came back the PCs lights were on, the LED readout was showing CPU temp around norman but the fans on the GPU (EVGA 1080 hybrid) where spinning like crazy and there was no display out. I rebooted and this time it started normally, no crazy fans but again the monitors didn't respond, they didn't even cycle through inputs they just remained asleep. I shut down and rest the CMOS, after which I got the error code d6 which translates to "No console output detected". I don't have much else to troubleshoot with as my CPU doesn't have intergrated graphics and the only other gpu I have laying around is a GTS-250 that needs its thermal past replaced and likely doesn't work anyway as its been sitting in my room for nearly a decade. System specs are as follows. MSI x99A Tomahawk i7-6800k 16GB (4x4GB) 3200Mhz EVGA GTX-1080 Hybrid Antec Earthwatts 750W Windows 10 Home The PSU was replaced recently but it's been working fine since. I'm fairly certain that the 1080 died though it was very sudden as it was working less than 12 hours ago and nothing happened since it was shut down last. I'm not sure if there's anything thing I can do other than replaced the card but I was hoping for a second opinion before I commit.
