boot issues

[Kuldar_Joel]

My pc seems to be stuck in boot and turning the psu off and on a few times until the windows fix thing starts and then it finally boots up.

Also powering off seems to be taking a long time after hitting the button in windows.

 

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like either your installation is corrupted or the drive it's installed on is failing.

 

When it's on, install CrystalDiskInfo to check the drive health, I assume it's an SSD ?

It really doesn't want to boot rn, but yeah windows is on an ssd, although I've been having a few issues with the HDD that I use as my 2nd drive. Also windows tries to do it's automatic repair and then just a blank screen with the cursor comes up.

You have a few options but the easiest would probably be:

 

Create a Linux live bootable USB using Rufus (Mint or Ubuntu I use) and boot from that, it will let you access your SSD and back up your data. You can back up the data you need like pictures, documents, movies etc.

 

Download the windows.iso and write it to a USB stick using Rufus, boot from that and wipe the SSD completely and reload windows from scratch.

 

If the problem occurs again then it's probably the SSD showing early signs of failure and will need replacing.

Back up your data ASAP that you need and follow the previous post. (Skip the linux step if you get the data)

It will go again, My previous advise stands.

Your SSD isn't healthy at 79%.

 

My previous advise stands in the original post & not going to suggest anything different, best of luck with the pc
