My computer doesn’t boot up until it’s restarted once? ?

[GamerBlake]

Hey everyone,

 

Im having a problem where when I boot my PC up for the first time it will post bios and then freeze at the window screen. But then when I press the restart button it will boot fine. What can be causing this? It happens EVERY single time I boot my PC. It’s not like it happens sometimes and doesn’t happen other times. For some reason it ALWAYS boots fine after I restart it but I never get pass the Windows loading screen on the first boot.

 

I can provide a video of it happening if it helps with troubleshooting but if anyone has any theories on what’s going on and how to fix it I would really appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

Got a weird thought that might be wrong.

 

could be a memory issue, and the computer is going to single channel memory to make things work.  Is your memory performance lousy when it does work?

My memory performance seems to be fine. I’m using 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 3200mhz which is pretty high quality ram and I’ve had them for about 3 months and no problems so far with anything. I actually even took the ram out and put it back in to ensure it was a good connection and the problem is still there.

Well that knocks that on the head.

I may be of little help

 

Win10 issues is another big possibility and I know jack about win10.  All I got is old hardware stuff.  You may need someone with more knowledge.

 

One last idea though it could be stupid:

 A “have you turned it off and on” kinda question, but you did the xmp thing and the memory is running at 3200?

I would love to hear a resolution to this, Wife's computer does it. I thought it was something she installed that is screwing things up. I wonder if it is Fast Boot. As i write this i think to myself that it only happens to her on an initial power up but never a reset.

I appreciate the attempt :).

 

Yeah with XMP its at 3200 but I have it OC’d to 3400. It’s a stable OC since the Bios posts and once it’s restarted it does run at 3400. Plus I didn’t have these issues before when it was at 3400 so I don’t think it’s the OC either.

Well at least you know it wasn’t something she did . I know it wasn’t something I downloaded because I only have games & drivers on my system. I put other programs on my MSI Stealth Pro laptop since it’s an older system with a 6700HQ cpu & 970m gpu.

Just for shits and giggles, did you try to boot the system up into the bios screen and then do a save and reset then let windows load to see if it does it? I'm curious if its maybe something initializing late on initial boot.
