pc shut's down after boot.

[ridfer]

when i start my pc it will pass the post, and boot up. then when windows is supposed to start it just shuts down (sometimes a windows logo is still visible for a second). this will happen for about 90% of the time when powering on my pc, until one point when it will just start fine after a lot of starting up and down without changing anything. troubleshooting i did: checking cables (i actually replaced a sata cable) checking bios settings (tried to change a few settings, nothing worked out) and when windows actually works my pc just works fine, in fact i am typing this on my pc. i suspect it might actually have something to do with the anniversary update.

so i actually recorded it, but i do talk in dutch in the video. but i basically say in the vid what i just said in this text here.

my pc specs can be found on my account page.

So I suppose the system worked fine before the Anniversary update?

I'm suspecting a hardware issue rather than software at this point. The reason being, if Windows fails to boot, very rarely will it shut down the system. Rather, it will either blue screen, collect data, then restart for you, or just outright restart itself.

 

Try booting the system with one stick of RAM at a time and even test out different DIM slots to see if the problem still persists. Bad Power Supplies are also known to cause a system to shut down (sometimes at random). So try swapping in a different PSU if you have one laying around.

well i thought it was a hardware issue to first, but since when it actually starts it works. if it was a hardware shouldn't post let it know?
