I have got a problem with my laptop (Lenovo LOQ 16APH8 82XUOO57MH) on every other boot. Every single time I boot after shutting down my laptop using windows 11, the laptop tries to boot, the screen goes off and I can't press anything to change this. If I then shut down the laptop using the power button, and restart it, it boots up fine. I have noticed that on that first boot every time I can not go to the boot selector screen, the second boot always works in regards to that. I think this has happened because of a driver update, because I did not have this issue at first. I have searched online for potential things to troubleshoot, but I could not find anything that seemed to help me. Also on the first boot it does NOT show a loading circle, but on second boot it does. I would gladly appreciate if anyone wants to help, because this is an annoying issue.

The following lines explain the issue I faced a few months ago, it is very important for the context of the issue I'm facing : |||||||||||||||| MARCH 2 2023 |||||||||||||||| I have had this PC for almost 2 years now everything was working perfectly fine : CPU : Intel I7-11700k GPU : Zotac RTX 3070ti RAM : 2x8G 3600Mhz to whom I added another exact same 2x8G 3600Mhz a month ago MoBo : MSI Z590 Plus SSD(OS : Win10) : Samsung 980 Pro 1Tb M.2 nvMe HDD : Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 1Tb SSD : Crucial MX500 250Gb PSU : Corsair CX750M One day I pushed my power button expecting windows to boot, and nothing happened, instead I had the Windows Boot screen (the loading dots thing) frozen, I thought it was weird, so I tried troubleshooting, so I restarted and entered bios to access to the troubleshooting reboot menu of windows, there I verified the OS files, tried a few things, safely ofc, and when it rebooted, it worked. I thought I had fixed it, but 2 days after I got the same thing happening, so I thought I'd do the same thing, but this time after I forced shut down and turned the pc back on, there was nothing. The GPU was on, fans were running, aaaand that CPU Red Led (attached file) was lit too. So I googled it, and tried those steps : CMOS Reset - PC booted once after that, but after I went into the bios to get my old settings back (resize bar and xmp merely), the issue came back CMOS battery replacement - PC booted after again, 2 times, then after putting BIOS settings back, cpu red light came back again. Cleaned the whole PC (physically), changed thermal paste, checked if there was anything wrong with the CPU's Socket, or if there was any pin that was broken, everything was clear and clean, did a CMOS reset as I was cleaning everything. This time I did NOT tweak BIOS to check if it was the source if my problems. It booted, once, then I restarted it to test it, annnd it didn't boot, but this time, IT WAS THE DRAM ORANGE LED. So removed all the ram I had except one, and put it on the first slot, dram led was still on, so I tried with another RAM stick, still on the same slot, and it booted. Expecting it to fail again, I made a save of all the files that were on the nvMe on my HDD just in case, then performed a clean reinstall (Win10), (the windows installer froze 2 times and I had to restart it, worked on third try), everything worked fine so I put the RAM back in, it worked again, so I kept updating drivers and had to restart a few times for that, and as expected, it failed after 2 or 3 restarts as I was updating everything. CPU Red Led again. I honestly don't know what to do anymore, so I have several questions, but the two main ones are these : - What is possibly going on ? - How can I fix that, if I can ? (EDIT : just tried to turn it on again to take a picture of the Red Led and it just seemed worked, I didn't touch anything, but the system completely froze on the Win10 lock screen). Anybody can help me with that please ? |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| I tested the RAM, it doesn't seem to be faulty. 2 months after that, in June 2023, I had the i7-11700k replaced with a new (same) one, and the motherboard changed to a MSI MAG Z590 TOMAHAWK WIFI. Everything worked fine since then... until this morning November 1 2023. I had the motherboard displaying the CPU Red led once, DRAM Orange led once, and it froze on BIOS instruction screen during boot once. It booted after a few tries, and I am currently saving my files, I expect my PC to start failing again. Of all sources I checked, I haven't seen anyone that managed to fix that issue. It appears to happen on Z590 chipset motherboards mostly, but seeing how it disappeared for a long time after changing the CPU, it might come from it too. Can anybody tell me where that issue comes from, and/or how to fix it please ?

Hello, Unfortunately my pc won't boot into windows or actually do much. Simply the pc just refuses to let me in the bios and do basically anything and the issue is that I have a vga light on my motherboard. Basically I've tried to do the following: •Disconnect the gpu and reseat it. •Take out the cmos battery to clear the bios •Replace the cmos battery with a new 3V one •Moved the gpu to a lower pcie slot Yes not much. But what else can I do? I couldn't dare reseating the cpu as I'm actually terrified at ripping it out the socket AGAIN! Any help will be greatly appreciated! Specs: •AMD Ryzen 7 2700x •B450 GIGABYTE AORUS PRO •Asus RX 580 8GB •ROG STRIX 750W GOLD 80+ •Samsung 980 1tb •Corsair Vengeance RAM 16GB

I could really use some advice here. I recently installed new RAM into my PC and started having issues. After multiple BSODs, I removed the new RAM, completely cleaned my PC, and reseated my old RAM. Everything seemed to be fine until I encountered another, very quick, BSOD stop code: WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR. Then, my PC shut down completely and since then I haven't been able to boot it past the BIOS access screen. I cannot access my dump files, I cannot get the PC to boot in safe mode. I have checked all my wired connections, reseated my RAM, reset my BIOS to default, and even tried completely different and compatible sticks of RAM. Do I need to boot it using a Windows 10 boot usb just to get into WinRE? I'm at a loss, any and all advice would be helpful.

PC Specs: AMD RYZEN 5 5600x NZXT KRAKEN X53 MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WI-FI Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory Gigabyte Aorus Master 3070 SAMSUNG 980 1TB M.2 Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM HDD Corsair RM750 power supply Be quiet pure base 500DX case windows 10 64 bit latest BIOS flashed TODAY —————— I’ve recently flashed my BIOS after stability issues which ended up becoming the PC turning on, but no longer showing any display and the CPU EZ Debug light being lit. I attempted to boot a few times following the flash and would get NO debug lights, but also no display. I removed CMOS and cleared. Now when I boot the MPG pre-BIOS splash screen comes up and tells me “Press DEL for BIOS setup or F11 to Boot menu. Press CTRL+F5 to activate M-FLASH” The problem here is that the PC isn’t taking ANY inputs from my keyboard. I swapped keyboards to another and same issue. I plugged both keyboards into a working laptop and they function as intended. I went back to look at the EZ debug lights and now the VGA light is lit. Every boot cycle goes through the same where I will reach the pre-BIOS screen, VGA light is lit, and that’s as far as I can get. occasionally when removing and adding parts back the device will let me inside BIOS but freeze shortly after when I’m navigating BIOS. I’ve attempted: single RAM 2 sticks RAM Remove HDD REMOVE SDD Remove HDD and SDD Reseat all power connectors Does anyone have any recommendations/insight? TIA!

PROBLEM: System can not find boot drive on 1st power on, but after a hard reset finds it on 2nd power on???? If machine left off for hours then on next boot it won't find boot drive. CONFIG: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x CPU Cooler: AMD stock cooler MOBO: Asus B450M-A II AM4 Motherboard RAM: 2x8GB DDR4-3000 Adata Memory SSD: Western Digital Blue SN570 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive HD: 1TB WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 1TB (SATA port#1) + 3TB WDC WD30EZRX-00DC0B0 (SATA Port#3) DVD: (SATA Port#2) GPU: Nvidia GTX670 2GB -> monitor connected via DisplayPort Case: Antec Mid Tower Case with 2 fans PSU: OCZ 700W Modular ATX Power Supply Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit Case Fans: 2 Antec case fans HISTORY: System was working with no issues for over a year. Problem started after the AMD RX580 8GB GPU was replaced with a Nvidia GTX670 2GB card. Replacement was done to upgrade another system. Now this system is not able to find the boot drive on 1st power up. System jumps into BIOS on 1st power up. The NVME does not appear - the other drives are seen If system is then powered off and rebooted it then finds the NVME and boots. Once booted, system works without any issues or error messages. STEPS TAKEN: 1) Latest Win11 updates were installed (May2023) 2) Latest MB BIOS (v4002 - 21Mar2023) was installed thus resetting BIOS settings Default BIOS settings were then loaded XMP settings were loaded for the memory speed CSM was disabled and then error message saying GFX card needed CSM so CSM was then re-enabled Fast boot was disabled 4) All cables were checked - none loose/damaged 5) NVME was removed and reinstalled If system never found the boot drive then I would have suspected a bad drive or M.2 slot, but doing a 2nd boot finds the drive and then the system works properly. I am currently in the doghouse as this system is my wife's and the 8GB Gfx card got moved to my son's machine, while his 2GB card went into this machine. Any ideas on how to fix this (other than swapping the cards back) would be very appreciated.... UPDATE: I swapped in a GTX760 and system has booted/worked last 3 days without issue. The GTX670 however has same NVME not seen issue on 1st boot. The GTX670 works without issue on another machine and has been in use for years without issue. Any idea why the GTX670 would cause intermittent NVME issues where as the GTX760 seems to work without issue ?

Hello, I just upgraded my computer with a new CPU, motherboard, cooler and power supply. At first my computer ran smoothly for about an hour but then it completly froze. It then began to freeze in shorter and shorter intervals and now it will barily get past bios load before freezing again. Righ now it will boot into a USB windows install screen but will freeze after about 5-20 seconds. So far I have updated the motherbaord bios, removed all but 1 stick of ram, unseated the CPU cooler and reatached it, changed out the custom cable mod PSU cables for the stock ones, removed every USB, SATA and PCI commenent that isn't mandaory. None of it has changed anything. what should my next steps be? best, JD CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K 3.5 GHz 14-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive Case: Fractal Design North ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G6 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Computer won't boot after installing new case fans!
Arka Mukherjee posted a topic in Troubleshooting
Hello! So, I have the Ant Esports ICE 300 TG case. I changed the pre-installed fans and installed a few (6) Gamdias Aeolus M2 fans. But, after installing them, plugging all cables, putting the side panels together, the PC won't boot. I switch the PSU switch on, the motherboard LEDs light up. But, when I press the power on switch on my case, nothing happens. As if I didn't even press it! I have the B450 Steel Legend, so the motherboard LEDs always stay on if the PSU is turned on (kind of dumb, Ik), so my guess is that the board and power supply is fine. I tried reseating the Power SW. No luck. I tested the Power SW header with a tester, it has power. Anything that can help?

Hello Everyone, In my new PC build I encountered an very weird problem where the Windows Operating System cannot restart the system on its own without requiring me to physically power the machine back on. Since the task cannot be automated by the OS, I am forced to press the front IO reset button or the power button to get the machine to boot up. I am currently using the GIGABYTE X570 AORUS Elite Wifi To troubleshoot I began by: >Updating the BIOS to the most up-to-date drivers >Checking all of the front IO buttons of my Fractal Case to ensure that they were plugged into the MB >Adjusted BIOS settings such as Fast Boot, AC Back in Platform Power (turned to on) >Fully Reinstalled Windows OS >Tested the Front IO wiring with another case I've used this motherboard in several builds for friends, however, I am shocked that this small issue is persisting. Everything else on the MB works well, which is why I am confused if this is perhaps a MB problem or something that I am overlooking. Since I live in Canada, it will cost me $65+ to ship the MB internationally to the California for Gigabyte to check out, so I am hoping that this is not a MB issue. Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions. Thank you!

Hi Guys, I'm building a system and it's pretty low profile, as it's going into a rack with audio gear. To get the be quiet cooler on there, I had to remove the heatspreader for the RAM. It wasnt a hard task, as it was just double sided thermal tape... strong tape... but not a glue or anything. I just slowly peeled it off and it seemed to come away without any fuss. Unfortunately, I think I must have broken something, although I can't see what exactly. All the SMDs look absolutely fine. One of the sticks will not boot with the system at all. I have tried the RAM In another PC, and it also doesn't work there. The new PC works fine with the RAM from the existing machine, and also with just one of the sticks plugged in. it definitely worked before I took the heatspreader off (was in a working PC). I have given it a clean as best as I can with 99% alcohol and looked at everything with a little cheap microscope, and can't see anything... but no booting and the DRAM warning LED Is lit on the motherboard.. so it's not looking good. It's single sided CL14 3200 B-Die... so a bit gutted. Before I get my wallet out, is there any ideas or testing anyone can recommend?

Hi I have just built my first PC and I have run into an issue where my NVME SSD, SATA SSD, and boot media an a usb drive are being seen my the BIOS but it will not list them as bootable drives. I have tried a new cable for the SATA drive and I tried reinstalling the NVME drive but am still having the same issue. I am a bit of a loss as to what the next possible steps are to troubleshoot this are. I have very little knowledge about working and troubleshooting in a BIOS so any inshight or help would be much appreciated. I am using a ROG B550 gaming-f motherboard with a Ryzen 5600x. The SSDs are both new one is a Intel 665p and the other is just a generic 120Gb Kingston Drive. Thanks

Hi, I'm getting this weird issue. Does cold affect the power cable restricting the PC to Turn on? This is happening for the second time, the first time I simply replaced the power cable (a week ago). but this time again, when I start my computer in the morning, it does NOT turn on. If I change the power cable to the new one it works and after that, if I put the old power cable back, it starts working. Power Supply is Gigabyte P550B 80 PLUS Bronze Certified 550W Power Supply.

So, I have a Samsung 250gb M.2 with windows installed, and the only way I can boot into it is boot manager (I obviously no longer want to do this because I only have 1 OS) Everytime i try to boot into it like a normal person, I get the "Please restart and select a proper boot device" screen. The drive is currently the only drive installed, there are no USBs plugged in, and its set up properly in the bios for priority, I even tried resetting the bios and clearing CMOS. I'm at a loss..

Hey guys, I need help trouble shooting my old PC so a friend can use it. When powered on, the fans and lights will turn on but nothing is displayed on the monitor. I used to be able to solve this by unplugging everything from the computer and plugging it back in but that doesn't work anymore. Anyone know what could be the issue? He has $200 to upgrade/fix it and I don't want to tell him to get the wrong new part. Would it be a good idea to get one of those PCI diagnostic analyzer cards? Here's what it has inside: AMD FX-8350 XFX Radeon R9 270X Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 2x 8 GB DDR3- 1600 CL10 Some Samsung SSD for boot Seagate HDD for storage Windows 10 probably Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Hi guys I have a pc built in 2015 with the following specs: Intel core i7 5820k, msi x99a motherboard, gigabyte g1 980 ti and a corsair h110i cpu cooler. When I turned on my computer today I noticed that the fans were spinning at a higher rpm than normal at idle. Then my pc became really slow probably due to overheating and then it shutdown. When I turned it on again it only stayed on for 20 seconds giving me enough time to reach the bios and see that cpu temps were at 97 degrees with fan rpms at 0. Strangely enough the fans were running even though it indicated that it was at 0 rpm. I then let the pc cool down for a few hours then I tried to turn it on again. Now nothing is coming up on the screen and the pc shuts down after 15 seconds of turning it on. Could my cpu pump have failed? Or is it another issue? Please help. Thank you.

Hi I'm trying to install Catalina 10.15.7 using OpenCore 0.6.1 on the following hardware: - Asus z370-a (latest BIOS) - Intel i7 8700k - Rx590 8GB - 2x 8GB 2400MHz DDR4 - 240GB Corsair MP500 PCIe3.0 x4 NVME SSD This machine is currently running Mojave 10.14.6 via Clover 4910 but I want to perform a clean install (wipe the current SSD). I followed the guide on Dortania to create the USB installer including all kexts, config.plist, etc config.plist However, upon booting on the USB installer and selecting "macOS base system (external)" I get a (kernel?) panic (see screenshot) I don't know how to troubleshoot this. Could you please help? NOTES: The following settings are apparently absent from the BIOS and thus I couldn't change them or check whether they are set to what they should: - Parallel port (-> disabled) : there is no parallel port on this MB - Intel platform trust (-> disabled) - Execute disabled bit (-> enabled) - EHCI/XHCI hand-off (-> enabled) : I believe there are only XHCI controllers on this MB Thank you very much in advance for your help Best, -a-

My laptop is LG U560 (2013) Chrome, version and windows10: On the Tuesday night I decided to update my laptop since it had became sluggish in the last week and thought the update might help as suggested by many youtube videos, after trying other fixed I came across with the updating my software solution so I proceeded. Duringthe nightI downloaded the windows update assistant and left my pc downloading the updates at 49% before I went for bed, 7 hours later I woke upand the pc was installing the updates after restating automatically but it was stuck at 30% for hours then it suddenly went off which could have been the problem with my faulty laptop battery, then I pluggedin and tried booting, and here I ended. My laptop can not boot anymore and it's stuck in this loop. It has created these unknown copies of my windows operating system and wherever I try booting one of them, I get driven back to the recovery menu. So here iam, stuck and I idle because all my work is on here. The are the clones of windows I have but never created. I get here after choosing one operating system from the list, when I select a language I get redirected to the recovery menu again.

The boot light stays on, the system cannot detect any usb device. Its stuck on the screen that asks the user to press F2 to continue, but i cannot do that since no usb devices work. Weirdly this screen does not come up when i reinstall the i3, all usb ports work. The i5 8500 came from a working system, so am pretty sure it works, I no longer have access to that system so i cannot test. Sometimes it powers on but stays on the cpu debug light, I have given it max of about 10 mins before i restart and clear cmos. It will then slowly cycle thru the ez debug lights then stop at boot, with no usb devices working. It also seems sometimes when cycles to the post light it insta restarts then gets stuck on the cpu light. I have tried 2 different ram sticks, repasting the processor, updating the bios that failed, becase m flash cannot see the files even when they have been extracted to the root folder, and i have tried clearing cmos. Non of which worked.

I have a RAM kit that is specified at 3000MHz from Corsair. When I run the PC at 2800MHz the PC has no issues whatsoever with turning on, but when I set the RAM to 3000 (or greater) in the BIOS a weird issue happens; the PC wont turn on the first time and on the motherboard the symbol for CPU issue lights up, but if I reboot the PC, straightaway, the PC will turn on with no problems and run the RAM at 3000MHz (or higher e.g. 3200). I am wondering if there is a solution to stop this from happening and allow my PC to turn on normally at the speed of 3000MHz.

Hello everyone, I'm sorry about not being too descriptive in the title, but as long as I had contact with computers, I had not had experience with anything resembling this, and I'm at loss as far as words go, plus, I'm really terrified of my PC state, as I *really* need it to more or less survive, now. So, without much more. Specs: Windows 10 Pro. 64 bits. Version 1909. OS Build 18363.535 (I use OOSU to more or less dewindows 10 win 10, that includes shutting automatic updates off.) ASUS PRIME B350M-K (CPU-Z says it's version 5222, so newest one available.) AMD Ryzen 3 2200G (stock) Patriot Viper DDR4 2133 CL15 (stock) ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX560 (stock) Silicon Power SSD Ace A55 Old somewhat damaged WD BLUE 1TB (currently unplugged from SATA and power) PSU - SilentiumPC VERO L2 Bronze 500 watts, 115 volts So, I'll now describe what has occurred. I was playing a game whist having my browser open in background, my PC then got a terrible freeze, and after waiting for 3-4 minutes had not helped, I restated it and went away, when I got back, I noticed it had a black screen instead of anything else, so I restarted it again, thinking it had to get some error or such. No help, even if this time I managed to get into windows logo screen with loading. But that was taking forever. I tried many things, I re-plugged my SSD to a different SATA/power cable, I plugged out my old somewhat damaged WD BLUE, thinking that maybe it's time finally come after managing to survive a fall from 1st floor. No help either. I was either getting black screen, eternal loading, or just outright blue-screen with 0xc00000e error. I then scoured the web searching for answer, and I decided to turn fast boot off in BIOS. I then had left my PC on whist going to bed, after trying to run it in safe mode with command line on. I was lying in bed, with my PC and screen on, in different part of the room. (I do that because having my PC on has a calming feeling on me, fans serve as a white noise, it's pleasant.) And then, after I lied in bed for like 10-30 minutes, lo and behold... it loaded onto login screen, mind, I was not able to use keyboard and only mouse was working, but, after another reset, and another lengthy; but I think shorter, or maybe that was placebo loading time. It worked, I managed to login onto my PC, and I'm using it ever since, I had one more freeze whist scanning with malwarebytes anti malware, but maybe that just been because of the scan. I had checked my SSD with few programs, such as CrystalDyskinfo, or SP Toolbox (even if second is refusing to scan it, saying that 'No partition existed') and both are saying it's fine I'm afraid to do anything on my PC currently, in fear of the freeze, and I'm not sure if I should be buying new SSD or what. Does anyone has any advice? Should I kill a goat and dedicate it's innards to Omnissiah? Should I just never turn my PC off, and if I have to, pray to machine spirit every time I turn it off and on again? I know I probably should turn my PC off and try to turn it on again to see what happens, with scientific method and such, but I'm just too afraid of it not getting up again, and if that happens, my livelihood is in a bit of a pickle, hence the fear, I would really like if someone here has any advice or experience with issues like that they can share, before I even attempt that. Thank you all very much for reading my rant.

System crashes and overheating after upgrading components
Vatsal_s posted a topic in Troubleshooting
I originally built my system in 2016 with an i5 6600k, Asus Z170-A board and Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080. Decided to upgrade the CPU and GPU recently (see specs below) to get better performance but I've been having many issues since the rebuild. CPU, motherboard and GPU were upgraded, no other components changed and Windows was not reinstalled. Issue 1: PC fails to boot at times with error 0xc000000e, saying that a required device isn't connected or can't be accessed. If I go into bios and exit without making any changes then it boots just fine afterwards. At time the display just doesn't turn on after I press the power button. I have to power off and on again to get the system to boot Issue 2: CPU running a lot hotter (up to 45c idle) and fans running at much higher speeds even without overclocking Issue 3: Any overclocking causes lots of instability. I followed this to try to OC to 5.0ghz and set voltage at 1.3. System worked at times but would crash at other times, upped the voltage up to 1.325 but the system still crashes under load at times. I'm not sure if I got a terribly binned CPU, if the cooling isn't enough or if I'm just an idiot doing something wrong Issue 4: SSD and HDD used to show up as boot drives in the Z170-A BIOS but don't show up in the Z390-A. They are still detected as storage devices but not showing up in boot order. To improve temps I've cleaned out the cooler's radiator and fans, and reapplied thermal compound but that made no difference. Reconnected all the wiring on the motherboard to make sure everything is connected properly but no impact on boot issues. I'm not sure if its me, Windows or the components that's causing the issues. Any and all help is appreciated!

Good evening Ladies and Gents. First time posting in the forums. Just a quick post to see if anyone has had a similar issue with a Tyan 7010 (ex-supermicro server) board. I have just torn out my dual xeon motherboard with dual xeon E5645's, 64GB ECC Memory and a few other bits and pieces and installed into a 900D case, as the 2U form factor was ridiculously loud. After re-testing & rebuilding, everything started fine with a Win 10 boot SSD, and after loading a few drivers etc, all seemed well. But... after about 45 mins, the OS froze. I then ungracefully shut down the server, as there was no other option. Since then, when booting, runs through bios etc, but as soon as it hits an OS, whether Win 10, Ubuntu live, mint etc etc, it either freezes, or restarts after a short time. Will also try ESXi again, as have had it running with that for the last couple of weeks with no probs. Only thing I have noticed is that one memory channel has dropped out. No idea why, but will start with checking what's happened there this evening. Anyways, any help/advice/bits to check would be awesome face. Love love, Griefa

I just acquired a used full computer and a mother board, cpu, ram combo recently. I loaded the computer currently running unbuntu on an ssd. Everything loaded perfect no issues on the completed computer. The issue comes with the motherboard combo I got. I plugged in all the basics (monitor, keyboard, mouse). I used the ssd from the completed build knowing the ssd is working thought it would be a good test. The operating system starts up and when it prompts the message to start unbuntu or do a memory test it resets. I cannot get past the unbuntu prompt. I ran a memory test and that passed. I've stayed up and running in the bios for an extended period of time and the cpu temp never went above 40 degrees Celsius. Would a bios update fix the loading issue? Is there something I am missing?

My old Gateway laptop is stuck in a reboot/boot loop, im not sure what is wrong but i think its a corupted piece of the OS on the Boot Drive. if this is true i think a fresh install of windows will fix it but i dont have an install disc for windows XP Pro atm. the CPU is an AMD Turion 64 and it has 2 DDR RAM Sticks/chips
