Computer sometimes freezes at startup

I did, but it was doing this before I overclocked

 

Clear the CMOS, or simply revert back to Factory Settings if you can get into the BIOS. Unstable overclocks could cause a system to repeatedly restart upon boot.

Hello everyone !

I have upgraded my build recently with the replacement of my motherboard, CPU and RAM.
When the computer is on everything runs smoothly, however, at startup, it often freezes on the splash screen (for about a minute or sometimes forever) and then windows takes waaay longer to start than usual .
I'd appreciate some help from you guys.

My build :
Asrock Z170 PRO4

Intel i5-6600K

8 GB of kingston fury DDR4

Nvidia GTX 760

 

Thank you in advance !

Probably a shotty connection to something. Maybe the RAM or the CPU. Maybe something is in the CPU Socket.

Brah, do you even Java?

Have you done any overclocking or fiddling around with BIOS settings?

Do you mean the Windows Splash screen or the BIOS pages splash screen?

 

Cos PC's freezing on either one of those can lead to different solutions provided.

Clear the CMOS, or simply revert bback to Factory Settings if you can get into the BIOS. Unstable overclocks could cause a system to repeatedly restart upon boot.

reverting to factory settings seems to work, I'll update you tomorrow to confirm
