Sometimes the PC doesn't boot into Windows

JGPAN · May 10, 2020

Hello everyone!

I've been having this weird problem that is getting more and more frequent (and annoying) where my PC doesn't boot into Windows, not even showing the Motherboard's splash screen. At first it was sporadic, but now every time I turn my PC on after a few hours being turned off, it doesn't boot into Windows. The weird thing is that a simple reset makes it boot correctly.

The specs are:

MSI B450i (latest BIOS flashed) - https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450I-GAMING-PLUS-AC
Ryzen 5 2600
2 x 8Gb Corsair Vengeance 3000Mhz
Seasonic 520w 80+ Bronze PSU
Sapphire Pulse RX Vega 56
Crucial MX500 2TB m.2 SATA SSD

I have only enabled XMP for the memory profile, I even disabled the 4.1Ghz overclock suspecting that could be the reason for the non-boots. I attached a video showing what it looks like.

Thank you for your help!

maybe something wired with the boot device priority? it the m.2 on first (or second after USB)?

The boot is windows manager first. I think that if it was that it would at least boot into the BIOS, wouldn't it?

Thanks for the response!

Ok, since it's been almost a week now, let me just give an update. After @_Omega_ suggested it could be something related to boot, I revised the boot priority from the BIOS and put all USB devices after HDD devices. Apparentely my USB hub was interfering with the boot, because after that the problem no longer happened. Thank you man!
