Windows boot loop issue. Trying to find a solution.

[TheBecomingEtherealman]

Okay yall here is where I started a few days ago

 

So I've got an i7 4790k

Evga z97 ftw motherboard

16gb ram vengeance 1866 2x8gb

Evga supernova g2 850watt 80 plus gold

And some 2060 graphics card.

So this pc has 2 odd issues. One I've delt with for 3-4 years. Sometimes in high intensity things such as streaming borderlands 3 from my pc to my steam link it freezes and I need to walk over and fix it.

I thought this was due to my graphics card so I replaced it 2 years ago. But after a while the issue came back. But sadly it's too inconsistent to test.

I've tried looking at event viewer but I honestly can't really tell what I'm looking for and I see a fair few errors whenever it crashes. Any tips to help me fight this problem? This problem has persistented through new windows installations.

As well I have problem B. When it's off and I go to turn the computer on, 90% of the time it will tell me there is no boot device. But if I spam f8-12 I get a boot menu without going into bios and sure enough at the top is my ssd. I press enter and we boot normally. This issue is fairly new within about a year I've been dealing with that.

What makes this issue obnoxious is if I let my pc update as normal with several restarts it always fails and has to revert the changes. Luckily today I was able to download the update before the restart and that worked fine.

Any help on how I should attack fixing this?

 

I went to attack this further with a clean install and that only made things much worse.

bsod boot loop but now I cannot access any log files made because I can't get into windows. 

 

I updated the firmware on my drive and did a clean install. I've done probably 6+ installs trying to get this to work from 2 different usbs one made last week one made with a laptop I have in the house. 

 

The thing I notice from the clean installs is that I don't get a check mark on the finishing up portion.
It just says it needs to restart. I may or may not get in once but every time upon restart I get bsod boot loop. 

 

Today I got a new ssd for a boot drive.

Cleared cmos
Installed a new cpu cooler

Now even in clean installs I get a bsod loop on restarts.

I even unplugged all drives and pulled my dims and put them in separately. 

 

I can get into windows seemingly once but restarting the pc seems to throw it back to the bsod loop.

 

How do I get Memtest86 to work?
I just wrote 2 USB drive for it and on the first one I actually got into windows more times than one because of it. But the second I unplugged it and ran the pc I'm back in my boot loop. After unplugging all drives both usbs say they aren't boot devices. 

 

Automatic repair says I don't start correctly?

 

I'm at a total loss for what I should do at this point. Any tips?

It might be a power issue or motherboard going bad. What psu is it? Evga 650w gold doesn't say much as they've had 2 terrible gold psu lines in the past (from the era of your system).

It's the supernova g2 I believe. Yup and it's 850 I was doing that parts list from memory

That is a good unit. My best guess would be the storage medium is faulty or the motherboard.

When you say storage medium what do you mean exactly? 

 

I bought a new Samsung 870 500gb ssd today hoping to fix the problem. 

 

I bet it is the motherboard tho. Damn I'm going to be PCless for a few weeks.

Your ssd/hdd whatever you are booting from.

 

I'd say disconnect any storage you have and do a nice fresh reinstall on the new ssd. Then see what gives but do not connect any old storage whilst testing.
