  1. Having VERY strange issues trying to boot up my Windows 10 machine. Help!


    I have machine that I built five years ago. It has a Intel i5-4590 running on an Asus Atx Z97-E motherboard, 16 gigs of RAM and an ATI fire Pro V4900 video card. Have never had issues with this machine but yesterday, not long after I booted up, the screens just went blank no video signal and there was no response to keyboard or mouse input even though the machine was to still running and all the lights on the motherboard look the same as normal. Turned my computer off, and turned it back on... Still nothing but a blank screen even though I can see the computer booting up. Waited an hour and tried again and it booted up normally. About 20 minutes in I started watching a YouTube video and when I went to click to open a new browser window the screens went blank again and the audio from the video just started buzzing. Restarted the machine and nothing, still the same blank screens. I then decided to connect the monitors to the embedded Intel graphics card to see if it was a video card issue but I still could not get anything to show when I started the computer. Did not try to use it again until this morning and it started booting with a message at the bottom that I think said "please wait" and when it was done it said that an operating system was not found and navigated to the "choose an option" blue window. I chose troubleshoot and start repair but was unsuccessful and when it rebooted, it went back to a blank screen. Shut off my computer, unplug it from power, waited a few minutes and plugged it back in and it looked like it was going to boot but right as it loaded the image on the Login screen, the screen went blue and I have not been able to get anywhere sense.


    Given the inconsistency in how its failing it's hard to figure out what's going on. Is the OS corrupted? Is it my SSD boot drive? The motherboard bios or the video card? I would really appreciate some guidance on this. Thank you!

    :)

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    Looks to be similar to this: SSD Optimization for your Windows Gaming PC and Tips and Tricks


    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

  3. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
