Ryzen boot loop

[komar]

I saw an article about how new windows update can boot loop a ryzen system and since then I did all I could to disactivate system updates and limit the internet access of the computer - no problems so far.

If it started after an update then your best bet and chance is to install new older version of windows and wait for Microsoft numbskulls to fix it

I did update Windows, but that was before I upgraded to Ryzen.

Then it isn't hardware boot looping, if its reaching the windows start screen the issue is the windows install?

 

You didn't install windows, and i doubt you did a sysprep either, its not going to work.

 

You need to install windows using a UEFI boot media.

Are you sure that's the only way to fix this? As far as I know, my Windows install isn't corrupted in any way.

....... its an FM2 based non UEFI windows install trying to load all these old drivers onto a modern ryzen platform. What do you thinks going to happen?  (exactly what its doing atm)

Would it work if I booted up my FM2 system and uninstalled said drivers?

 

EDIT: I'm mainly trying to avoid having to reinstall Windows if at all possible, I don't have a recovery disk set up at the moment

maybe, if you run sysprep (also uninstall GPU drivers)
