Windows boot fails

For some reason whenever I try to boot to windows, sometimes it fails. It doesn't blue screen or anything, it just stops, them my system restarts and goes through its POST again and then windows will boot properly. However it has now completely stopped booting correctly and only ever fails. It now says that I need to use a recover media to repair windows. I did that but the recover media will not boot on the computer and I have tried it on a different computer. When I tell it to force booting into my main drive it usually BSODs with the code irql_not_less_or_equal. 

 

Im so confused by this and I have no idea what could be wrong. I've exhausted my own knowledge at this point and any help will be extremely appreciated! 

 

motherboard: Asus Maximum VIII Gene

Cpu:6700K

Boot drive: 500gb Samsung M.2

RAM: 32gb corsair vengeance 1x16 and 2x8

i'm having a very similar issue as you. mine doesnt boot it just keeps spinning and says gigabyte insist on ultra durable. i've tried reinstalling windows and it does the same thing. let me know if you find a solution to this issue

This is by far the most frustrating issue I've ever had with a computer. I've had this issue more than once with this computer and with two different motherboards after I accidentally bricked my first with a bios update (oops). Every time I've "fixed it" it just starts working again and I never actually know what made it work so I've never been able to to just know how to fix it the next time.

what were you doing with the computer before it started doing this?

 

Updating to the latest 1803 feature update of windows. However it's done this before without any special situation. One time I just turned it on like any other day and it did this. Didn't update or anything.
