Booting problems

[Fury98]

I need some help with pc not booting. Been happening for the past month and haven’t changed anything. 
 

I turn on the pc and all fans and LEDs turn on but keyboard and mouse don’t turn on or monitor. I press the power button again to turn it off and still the same, after the third try it boots normal.

 

When it’s on it works fine,  I’ve done benchmarks and it doesn’t shut off incase it was the power. Seems like it’s when it’s warmed up it works, as if I shut down again it works fine until the next morning.

Take out a stick of ram then try to boot.

Would have to wait till tomorrow to try as it boot normal for now. What could the ram do?

It could be clocked too high it might not be supported. Xmp profile may need to be disabled.

I’ve had the ram for 2 years now without any issues

Specs ?

Not being critical but the "haven't changed anything" is generally incorrect. In the last month at least one Windows update has been released.

Windows updates often change things and as a result one must double check other areas of the PC hardware to ensure latest drivers etc are also implemented.

As you did not mention system specs there might well be Bios updates for either intel or AMD that you could need to work with newer Windows updates.

Windows hasn’t updated yet still need to as I don’t auto update and I’m still on 10. But why does it not work in the morning but at night it boots normal. Plus in the morning it boots after the 3rd attempt. I get if it had issues when it’s on but runs fine

The psu only a year old, if it was dying wouldn’t it have issues when the pc working fine.  Like when I put it on a stress test wouldn’t it randomly turn off?

well. that's true.. with the information it is only 1 year i wouldn't think the PSU is the problem either. since we don't know the rest of the spec's it's basicaly just guessing. 

 

start by disconnecting anything not critical. if it starts better then something connected to it is the problem. if not.. problem is still in CPU/MB/RAM/PSU..

Edit I found out why, looked it up again and found solution. Turns out it was windows 10 fast boot mode not working properly. Turned it off boots normal not on the third attempt.

 

Why would fast boot take longer than normal?  what is the difference with it off, as I don’t see much of a difference apart from the keyboard lights turn on with fast mode enabled.

Fastboot basicaly saves an image of your current memory to the disk so it loads windows faster.. hence.. your not realy shutting down when shutting down.  reboot makes your system reset your up timer if you have it turned on. 

 

i had similar issues and as i have 2 nvme's in raid 0 for systemdrive it's better to do a clean boot every time it starts. it only takes about 15 sec anyway, so fastboot is off on my system.. it might actually make it use longer to boot as i have 64GB ram..

Ah okey,  is there a way to reinstall windows without deleting any software or anything I’ve installed. I know there’s the options to keep documents but that always deletes software and it’s such a pain to install everything again

you can try the repair function on the installer. 

if you get into troubleshooting mode, you can try open cmd prompt and type in powercfg /h off  that should kill the hibernation thus also fastboot.  and just reboot.
