Hey, Ive recently created a post about a booting problem: In a nutshell, i forced the PC to turn off during boot cycle. Afterwards I kept stuck booting with no post (r5 7600, 32gb Flare X5 6000Mhz ram, B650i Lightning). On this mainboard, the Power LED kept blinking at a frequency of ~ 2Hz. Going into manuals, this led me to a failure in Ram OC. Since no one was able to help, I ordered a Mainboard (MSI B650i edge wifi) and a spare pair of RAM to troubleshoot. Now, as stated. DRAM and CPU debug LEDs are led. I used the new RAM and Mainboard. Only the CPU (and my SF750) is from my build. Since the problem seems to consist, is my CPU dead? And if so, how in the world did that happen? To rule things out, i let the test system do its things, as I know DDR5 can take some time upon first boot, but after 30mins no change in sight. I have tried the old RAM on the new Board and the new RAM on the old Board. Just to be clear, as some of you may not want to read my old article, the problem ist definitely not solved by clearing the CMOS. I ruled that out. One last step I could try is to use the Bios Flashback on the new Board to load the newest BIOS. But the button does not trigger the flashback process, though the name of the file, the slot and the stick was formatted correctly. Furthermore, I doubt it will help since useing BIOS Flashback didnt help on the old board neither. By old I mean a four months old system consisting out of only new parts. As I did all testing without a GPU. So a GPU problem can be ruled out (same for my ssd). I hope someone has a tip. I was hoping the Debug LEDs could help me figure out the problem, but I find it hard to believe the CPU just died. Cheers

Hey, Ive built a PC approximatly four months ago. But today I ran into a problem which I could not resolve by my own. I have noticed on this AM5 system that every 2-3 weeks, the boot cycle takes 5 minutes. I always thought thats because of the new platform. Usually I wait this time or it also worked to press the power LED one time more, then the system would power down and I can start again with a normal boot cycle that time. Same happend today. I turned it off and started again. But now the power led of the mainboard (Asrock b650i lightning wifi) keeps blinking at around 2Hz. Goining after the manual, that means "blinking till BFD" with the discription "DRAM overclocking failed" (page 40 of the manual). First of all, what is BFD? Secondly, I waited ~30 minutes without anything happening. I started my usual troubleshooting steps (which is extremly painful in my SFF build by the way). This consisted of trying out single ram (32GB Gskill Flare 6000Mhz, EXPO ready), resetting BIOS ~5 times via jumper and battery and running of onboard graphics (r5 7600) without a GPU in the Pcie slot. I dont think its a problem with my power supply, because its a fresh SF750, which is a good psu in general. I honestly dont know what to do next. My only idea is to just let the system do whatever it is doing for a long time and hope its gonna fix itself. Ive heard that in rare cases DDR5 takes longer than half an hour to boot after a BIOS reset. On first boot four months ago I think it took about 15min in my system I would be grateful for any help you can provide. Cheers

Hi! 2 days ago I build my new pc using mostly new parts and reusing some from my old setup. Right now, I have: -Asus strix b650e-e Wifi motherboard -Ryzen 5 7600X cpu -Rx7800xt gpu -32gb 3 5200 corsair vengeance ram -Gigabyte p750gm psu -4tb hdd -512gb nvme -512gb sata ssd I reused my old psu and drives and right from the start I notice that when I boot to bios I can't see all my drives. Every time it shows my nvme, but others are a different story. It's a total lottery. I spend so much time trying to figure it out i tried updating to win 11 updating bios changing sata cables and noting change It's really strange for me that it can show my hdd in bios when I boot to windows I can see my ssd, or I can see only my nvme but when I boot to windows all drives work perfectly fine what can it be?

I have been waiting a wile to do this but I'm doing it now. I have been having boot issues with my computer, every time I turn it on and boot it boots up to the windows loading screen but then doesn't load. This was the cause of a BIG overclocking failure, after that happened I found a new but not so good computer to run my system in. I really need some help here! I have tried flashing the bios, transferring my files to another storage device, even other boot devices. I also did a whole hardware teardown taking everything out then reassembling it, still didn't work. I don't know if it has become a piece of junk or just to hard for me to fix. My Specks: Sabretooth 990FX R2.0 Amd 9590FX Kingston 8GB 240-pin PC3L Ram Original Hard Drive: Western Digital Black Desktop Hard Drive 3Tb (WD3003FZEX) New Storage Device: Samsung evo 850 250GB PNY Nvidia Quadro 600 (i know, its very bad) PSU: Cooler Master G750M I really hope there is a way to fix this piece of junk in my room, other wise I have an expensive foot heater which would give me 3 degree burns. If there is a way for me to put my system files on the ssd then that would be great, if not then that is fine I just want it to work again.

Ok so 4 days ago my pc froze and crashed with a BSoD: Clock_Watchdog_Timeout and it kept getting stuck at bootup on the windows screen with spinning circles. So after some troubleshooting i figured it was my data HDD (Disk S) so i unplugged it and windows booted normally. I checked all the sata ports and all of them give me the same problem, so now if i ever plug it back in before bootup, Win 10 is stuck on the same screen as before. Is there a way of solving this problem? Components CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia 1660 super RAM: 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 MHz MB: ASRock AB350 Gaming K4 (BIOS version P2.50 released 04/20/2017) Power Supply: BeQuiet Pure Power 10 500W SSD: 250 GB Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe HHD: 2 TB Western Digital (The HDD that gives me problems) No components have ever been overclocked, the system is 3 y/o and i built it myself.

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to see if anyone has some advice on what I could do about this issue with an AsRock Motherboard that my brother has, I moved all of his parts to this new motherboard and it receives power and even turns on(Fans spin to life lights turn on HDDs start spinning), yet it doesn't post. The Motherboard in question is the X570 Taichi. The only new parts to this system are two new storage devices (a 2TB WD blue & A 1TB Samsung 850 Evo), new RAM (Corsair Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2x4GB) and the X570 Taichi motherboard itself, Although I feel like I should mention that the EPS connector on the motherboard itself has an extra 4 pin connector along with the normal 8 pin that is plugged in that I could not plug in with his current PSU that he has. The Dr. Debug Code it gives out after every boot attempt is 04 but everything I've found in relation to this code is a Memory or CPU issue yet everything is installed just fine, I even reinstalled the CPU and RAM and tried with the old set of RAM (Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB) and even moved slots, used one or the other stick by itself and got the same code. I am a bit of a loss even after looking through the manual and online for similar issues to mine. The current set of parts are as follows CPU Ryzen 1600x RAM 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro Motherboard x570 Taichi GPU Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1080 SSD 240gb PNY CS900 SSD Kingston 256 SSD 1TB Samsung Evo HDD 2 TB WD Blue HDD 1 TB WD Blue PSU Corsair RM650X Any and all advice that could help is welcome, thank you for your time.

My one of my friends asked me if I could download (fix) windows on their hp laptop, so I did the only logical thing I could I grabbed my USB drive with a bootable copy of windows. But after plugging it into said laptop and going into the bios and clicking on "boot from usb" it came up with a message "Selected boot image could not authenticate press enter to continue", I don't know if it's a problem with the usb or the computer. help

I have an old Sony VIAO PCV-RS710G I would like to get working. I installed an old hard drive I had and attempted to install Ubuntu on it. The problem is when I insert the DVD into the DVD drive and I get to the installation menu up after I select an option I just get a blinking white line forever. I tried taking the drive out putting it in a known good PC and installing Ubuntu from there and that was successful. I then put everything back in the Sony and tried to boot from the hard drive out of curiosity, and it booted into the GNU GRUB environment where I can select from a few boot options. If I try to boot into Memtest86+ it boots into that fine and runs fine, but if I boot into Ubuntu I get the same infinite blinking white line. Out of curiosity I tried to install windows 10 from a DVD and got the same damn blinking white line forever. 0 idea what's wrong, I have swapped out all the RAM< the GPU, and removed all the ad in cards.

Out of no where my PC suddenly takes for ever to Boot and when it boots the CPU only runs at 1.36 GHz instead of 3.4 to fix that i have to go in the BIOS and just have it open for about 30s and then but. But idk why it takes so long to get into the BIOS My Pc: Ryzen 5 1600 TUF B350 16GB RAM GTX 1060 6GB Be Quiet 450w And a bunch of HDDs and 2 SSDs Thx for your help, if you need more information just ask me.

This is a 2016 build. GTX 1080 i7-7700k (upgraded to in about 2018) 16 gb ram GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-UD3 Ultra Thermaltake TOUGHPOWER 650W gold So what happened was about a month ago I was vacuuming off the case fans (NZXT phantom), they could be cleaned from the outside but the rear fan was not able to be, so I just went right in with the vacuum. I did not disconnect or hit anything loose but I found out after it was not powering on, that vacuums generate a lot of static and are dangerous for the inside. I reseated and reconnected everything multiple times and get nothing, just the cpu fan barely jolts but nothing powers on. I figured it was the motherboard so I bought a new motherboard "ASRock Z270 Killer". This one has an LED that turns on when the PSU is powered on, which it always does. But my PC will still not turn on. I did the paperclip test on the PSU and it worked. On both this motherboard and the previous, I cannot jumpstart the motherboard with the screwdriver, it does nothing. What do you think? Did I static discharge multiple other parts?

Hey i just upgraded my pc with a ryzen5 5600x and rtx3080. Im using an asus prime x570 motherboard, latest bios version installed. After installing cpu and gpu I installed the latest drivers for the rtx3080 (i had alteady removed the amd display drivers using display driver uninstaller). i played some games and then tried to shut down my pc. However it startet to boot up again and since then is stuck in an infinite boot loop. I can enter the bios but after save&exit it starts booting from the POST screen again. Any ideas what to do? Edit: i already tried to unplug all usb-devices.

Hello ltt comunity my problem is quite weird to me. I have bought a new mother (aorus pro ax x570s rev 1.1) And a new psu ( corsair Hx 1200w platinum) And when i finished my build i noticed that i need to turn on, turn off, and then turn on again quickly too properly boot to windows. Otherwise the screen stays all black without showing even the bios I noticed that the red lights keeps changing to ram and bios, until i turn off abd on the pc again quickly. Any idea what the problem could be? PD pc specs are Cpu 5900x Cooler noctua nh d15s Mobo pro ax x570s ( previous b550 master) aorus brand Gpu 3060ti gaming x trio Psu hx1200w platinum Case corsair 5000d airflow Pd 2 my pc before had an rm 750 psu from corsair and a mother b550 master and that didnt happened to me when i had these two. PD3 MY HX 1200 HAS A SINGLE RAIL AND MULTIPLE RAIL BUTTON. IT WAS ON MULTIPLE WHEN I GOT IT OUT of the box, but i turn on single after, could it have something to do with that my problem? PD4 my pc is conected on a stabilizer not on the wall. Could that has spmething to do with the problem?

I recently bought a new Nvme SSD where I thought I would install Windows 11. I got it installed but when i want to boot from the Nvme SSD it doesnt find the Windows installation. It asks me to "Reboot and select proper boot divice". The drive is recognized both in Windows and in BIOS I know something is installed, becuse i have another SSD with W10 where I can see that there is Windows files on the new Nvme drive. The drive is GPT and BIOS is set to UEFI. Secure boot in enabled. Nvme Drive: WD Black SN750 1TB Motherboard: ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING Happy to give more information if needed (English is not my native language)

BSOD happens right after the windows loading screen and sometimes, it just freezes. Theres a couple of instances too that it will just shutdown after the loading screen. This includes both windows installation from a usb flash drive and on ssd with fully installed windows. I tried also ubuntu installation usb and it also gave a kernel panic. Tried also it with hirens with same result. The only thing that it can boot to is with memtest86. Here are the BSOD error codes that I've recorded: -IRQL _LESS_OR_EQUAL -CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED -UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP -FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA -BSOD with just error code: 0xc000021a At a first glance, it looks like the RAM is the one who is wreaking havoc but I already use a known good RAM stick with same result. I also tried using a different mobo, same thing happens. It all boils down to the processor but I'm still having a hard time believing that it is really the CPU is at fault here. lol. Aside from the CPU, I also used the same power supply and gpu to the "other" mobo but it will be the least likely causing all of the problem because I'm currently using it to another system without having issue. I also explored the BIOS particularly the settings that has something to do with secure boot. I also disabled the fast boot. The hardware in question here is an i5-6500 and 2 B150 motherboards: MSI B150m nightelf and ASUS B150 Pro Gaming. 481634759_Vid20220411235142(0)-1.mp4

I recently installed a new XPG sx6000 pro ssd, but whenever I try to boot into windows, it says “Reboot and Select proper boot device”. Before installing the ssd everything was working fine EDIT: Removed the SSD and now it’s booting fine, any suggestions to ensure I can install it safely?

Hi Guys, So I've recently gotten round to building up my new tower and couldn't be happier - Win10 on a WD Black NVMe Drive, i7-9700k @ 4.9GHz, GTX 1060 6Gb etc etc. My problem comes in that I want to have a dual boot option from my old tower so I can access a load of stuff I have on there when I want to. I figured this would be easy. It should be in theory. However, my old rig started life as a HP Enterprise system. It ran what I believe to be a cache raid system whereby it has a tiny 20Gb Intel SSD, as well as the 500Gb spinning disc. The way it was explained to me at the time was that read and write went to the SSD first and then was written to the HDD. This brings me onto the issue. When I plug in my HDD to my new rig and mash F2 to get into the BIOS, the HDD is not there as a boot option! Exiting from that and heading into my Win10 boot, it allows me to see the Win7 drive. I can see the OS files. I can see the public documents (although not the documents of specific users). When I enter the disc management tool in Win10, I can see the partitions of the HDD, including one which shows as OS, however underneath it, it only says "Primary Partition". The "boot, pagefile and crash dump" monikers are missing. When I plug in the old 20Gb SSD, there's nothing on it. It just shows as "Unallocated". It seems to me that my MBR has gone missing somewhere along the line here and since I have no experience of undoing the witchcraft that seems to be cache raid, I'm reaching out for help. Can anyone explain how I can make my old HDD bootable again? Couple more points to note: I've not got an image or backup of the Win7 disc so simply doing a fresh install is not an option. Also, the tipping point for me building a new rig was the power supply failing on the old tower. Since it's HP Enterprise and therefore proprietary (rip off merchants!!!), I cannot even plug the old drives in back the way they were and do anything from the old system. Anyone any ideas? All help appreciated. All the best, Rob

So I've just built my friend a gaming PC for the first time. Regardless of my part choices (and did I make some poor ones. Still very new to the Intel world), I put it all together at waited for BIOS to pop up, or even the DOS screen. Nothing. Shoot, I keep forgetting to plug the HDMI cable into the graphics card, not the motherboard. Reboot. Nothing. I try switching my source channel on the monitor. Nothing. In short, I have no idea why this brand new PC won't boot to BIOS, and I've spent way too much time attempting to fix it. I speculate that it's an issue between the processor and motherboard, but I'm not positive. The system runs fine, and has had no hiccup, as I've let it sit untouched for 20 minutes with no change. Here's the specs and the things I've tried. Specs: Intel i7-7700 (Not K) Asus B150 Pro Gaming Aura Motherboard 2x8 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 (2666 MHz) Asus GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB Phoenix Edition (Single Fan) *It is worth mentioning that this card was in a different system with 2 weeks worth of use Corsair CX450M Power Supply NZXT S340 Case (Not sure why that would matter, but hey) Stock Intel Fan with pre-applied thermal paste What I've tried (without success): 1) Switching sources on the monitor 2) VGA (On-board graphics) 3) DVI to HDMI cable (DVI on the graphics card, HDMI to monitor) (Again, not sure why this would matter) 4) HDMI (Tried on both motherboard and graphics card) 5) Taking out the graphics card and exclusively attempting on-board graphics 6) Resetting CMOS without the graphics card in place and attempted to boot from the motherboard 7) Verified (and re-inserted for confidence) CPU 8-pin from power supply to motherboard 8) Verified (and re-inserted for confidence) 20 + 4 pin from power supply to motherboard 9) Swapped out with identical graphics card 10) Swapped out with a brand new EVGA 500 W Power supply 11) Checked Processor was secure and properly seated 12) Verified both memory sticks were in the correct channels (A2 & B2 in this case) and were secured in place 13) Attempted using one stick (In channel A2 as suggested by the manual), swapping both sticks one at a time. 14) Plugged mouse and keyboard into motherboard back via USB. Now interestingly enough on that last one, I plugged my NAOS LED mouse into a USB socket, and to my surprise after powering on, the LED failed to light. I tried on the case's front USB's front ports, and still no light. I tried a couple flash drives as well that I would have expected to light, and nothing. So I'm not getting any power to my USB ports, which I can therefore assume must be all ports. Right? I swapped power supplies after this as well and still there was no power to the USB mouse (or the keyboard I'm assuming). So what could possibly be wrong? My friend wants this beautiful build as soon as possible, so a timely response or suggestion is much appreciated. My other, more knowledgeable PC friend suggested one of two things. Either the motherboard is bad (it's brand new but sure) or my 7th gen processor is not comparable with my 6th gen board. If that's the case, I hope to god I can get a return on the processor or motherboard. Please. PLEASE. HELP. Thanks in advance.

Hello there. My strange random boot problem stars with a normal BIOS loading and posting, and when it begins to load windows; Neither of my two screens (HDMI (primary) & DVI-D) recieves any input. A quick hard reset fixes this issue. It has so far never occured more than twice in a row. - I always do a complete shutdown. System is 2 months old at most by the time of writing. At first I though it was the video card which was faulty, as I had an other issue, which caused lots of red horizontal one pixel one frame lines to appear. They increased with more information which was being outputted, but after I swapped my HDMI cable, haven't I seen them since, poiting it was possibly my cable who was faulty. Something however game me the feeling it was NOT the videocard which was faulty, as my keyboard who got built in sleep mode, and it did not respond to it. Two days ago while my computer was off did I bump into a bottle, which hit my keyboard, and the keyboard light it's light up, as it was woken up from sleep / idle mode. I powered on my computer, and neither of my screens recieved any input after BIOS posting. I don't know if this is relevant, but when checing my CPU usage, does task manager says my computer has been powered for days, even though I do a full shutdown every night. Aside from my screens not recieving any input, have I not detected any other issues, but I fear it may get worse, and would like to get it fixed. My specs are: Case: Fractial Design Define R5 Black Storage: 1 500GB Samsung 960 EVO SSD + 1 4TB (old) HDD CPU: Intel i7 7700k (not OCd) GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Armor OC CPU cooler: Corsair hydro series H100i V2 MB: Asus prime Z270-A S-1151 ATX PSU: Corsair CS650M 650W 80 gold + RAM: Corsair Vengance LPX 16 (8x2) OS: win 10 64 bit (does there exist win 10 32 bit?) https://puu.sh/vSG6M/25689d2d86.png DxDiag attached.

Hello everyone. Im having problems with an intel i5 4590 because I've checked the motherboard (ga-h81m-h) socket and I saw a few bent/broken pins, so today I bought a new motherboard (msi h81m e33) and it didnt work. Im really confused because I pluggled in the cables and the cpu/gpu fans spins but and I dont see image in the monitor. Ram, psu and gpu was working good/normal yesterday (before I opened the case to clean) I have only 1 monitor with vga port (using it with vga-dvi adapter) Things I've tried: Using monitor with vga-dvi adapter. Using monitor with vga motherboard connector. Changed ram to the other slot. Unplugged all the psu cables and turned off the monitor and turning it on again. I didnt hear beeps sounds while turning pc on. The gtx960 fans spin and stop, and again the same all the time. Another thing I think its "weird" is when I turned off the pc the intel cpu cooler (I mean the metal base, not the fan. I dont know the correct word in english) is cold, no signals of being a little hot.

I am using a Asus B150 Gaming Aura motherboard. I am experiencing random boots into the bios instead of windows which is on my SSD. When i check if my SSD was detected , it clearly was ( only when i switch the main boot drive back to my SSD instead of my HDD). I have also noticed that my motherboard and cpu temperature have gained by a few degree celsius. Does anyone know what is the problem here? Maybe a bad motherboard?

So my pc was working fine with iGPU always boot up and now that i bought new GPU is not showing any life on monitor pc itself is running but monitor no picture....any help please....

Windows 10 all updates installed4770KAsus 7970 top 3 GB16GB ddr 3SSD Evo 250gb for windows and a few games with around 90GB free spaceHDD 1TBA few times recently my computer didnt boot into windows..A few times it booted to black screen with 'ctrl+alt+del restart'..No other info was on screen.. I hit the keys and the system restarted and booted into the desktop..There was one time when I did this and it returned to the black screen with ctrl+alt+del restart , but the restart again then booted into windowsThis has happened a few times over the last 2 or 3 weeksOne other time windows was about to boot as it shows the blue window and then the spinning dots just prior to booting into windows... well the blue windows stuck on screen for a few mins and i had to to a hard reset of the desktop and it restarted into desktopOne time before booting into windows I got a message saying scanning C for errors but it was only on screen briefly before windows desktop opened. I also had a no video signal and the system rebooted itself. I ran right click on C drive >properties> Check >Error Checking on C... but it didnt find any errors..What could the problem be ?Any advice is welcome.. thanks

So I just built a new PC, and while everything works fine once it's started, for some reason it's taking 3 tries to boot up (doesn't happen when you reset/restart it). On its first ever boot, it also took 3 tries, but was able to boot properly on the first try after that, but now it's taking 3 tries again. It's like fans spin up for 1 second, then it shuts down, then that happens again, and then it finally boots up properly on the third try. I tried resetting BIOS too, and also tried resetting CMOS cell, really can't figure out if there's any setting that I should change (because I've tried everything I could think of), or it's because of power supply (which I've tested, it works fine on another system). I think it's the motherboard that might be causing this issue. Here's my specs: ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero, latest BIOS Corsair RM850x Core i9 9900K MSI RTX 2080 Ti (vertically mounted using Cooler Master vertical GPU mount) 512 GB Samsung M.2 SATA SSD (960 Evo, I guess), 2 x 3 TB WD HDDs 2 x 8 GB G.Skill TridentZ 3200 MHz RAM Cooler Master ML360R AIO cooler Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic Additional Corsair LL120 fans + ARGB LED Strip Some additional info: I checked that I am doing everything properly, and that power is being supplied properly. It wakes up on first try if I power it down and don't cut the power supply to the motherboard off. Also tried changing the power cable, and connecting directly to the mains, without the UPS in between. I also tried removing both the RAM sticks, and in that case, it takes 2 tries to reach to a state where all the fans are spinning, plugging in RAM again makes it 3 (if it was a single try without RAM, I could conclude that the problem was with RAM). The MemOK switch is ON, which I checked is the default (which also shouldn't create issues AFAIK, as retraining memory takes ~30 seconds as per the manual).

Yesterday PC was being super slow so I reset it using a USB installation. Everything seemed fine, boot was fast, browser, games, everything was perfect. When I go to turn it off it asks for update and shutdown. I click it and go to sleep. This morning I go to turn it on and it goes through the gigabyte loading and into a black screen for like 10 mins. I force shutdown and it keeps happening. After the third time, the automatic repair comes in and after loading for a bit also goes to a black screen. So the. I try booting into the USB installation and it boots up the blue windows logo and then also goes to a black screen. I’ve reset bios, changed display to internal, disconnected all USB. I managed to get to the repair screen once after plugging the PC directly into the wall outlet and unplugging everything, but haven’t been able to get back to it since. When I did get to the repair I tried to repair and came back saying it couldn’t do anything. Windows 10 Motherboard: GA-B85M-D3H CPU: i5-4590 GPU: R9 390 And I’ve only got 1 stick of 8gb ram Not sure if my PC is just dead now but I’d like to know which pieces I can salvage or if there’s a way to fix this. Thanks.
