Need help: computer freezes on startup

[Othi]

Recently my computer has started freezing on startup, sometimes requiring multiple hard reboots before finally working satisfactorily. Strangely, however, the computer performs perfectly once this initial hurdle is overcome, not freezing at any other moment. I have no idea why this is the case but I would really like to solve the issue. Would greatly appreciate any help.

you can try

 

 

update BIOS

 

update windows

 

update chipset drivers

 

 

If none of that helps you have to start checking parts by either removing them (like secondary hard drives etc) or replacing them , at least temporarily to see if something is faulty.

 

Most likely motherboard, psu. cpu, gpu rarely make issues like that, but it's possible also.

 

ps: since it's on start up... most likely psu

I just did a fresh install of Windows, that didn't solve my issues. I'm quite confident it's not the PSU since that's brand new. I'll try updating the BIOS, thank you.
