  1. Windows 10 won't boot


    Last week, I tried to turn on my PC, I got as far as the blue logo and spinning dots, then nothing.


    Checking some forums, I performed a forced shutdown (they said three failed boots would give me the option to start in safe mode), and received the message "Starting Automatic Repair". This stayed on the screen for about ten minutes, then the screen went black and eventually shut down.


    I was quite lucky, in that I didn't have anything on my PC that wasn't in a cloud somewhere, so I tried to use my original WIndows 10 installation DVD to repair or reinstall Windows. Everything I tried to do with this took literally hours to get anywhere, after leaving the PC all day, I got an error message relating to my SSD - which is my boot disk (I'm sorry, I can't remember the message), and as the slowness tallied with the reports I had read about a failing SSD, I picked up a new one in a sale.


    However, replacing this made absolutely no difference to anything. I was unable to install Windows 10 to the new SSD, because it was taking several hours for anything to happen - I would be on "Preparing Set Up" for over three hours, for example. Because changing SSD made no difference to the performance, I added the original SSD back to the system.


    I opened up my desktop, and checked every wire was connected, I re-seated my RAM, dusted everything thoroughly, and put it back. When I turn on, I hear no beeps indicating a potential faulty motherboard, the CPU isn't over-heating and looking at BIOS, everything that I expect to be there is there. I even tried to reinstall Windows 10 from a USB in case there was a DVD drive fault.


    Nothing I have tried has made any difference, I've asked my more technologically advanced friends for help/wisdom/experience and I've got nowhere.


    Please help, I'm at my wits end tryring to work out what is happening. I've not installed any updates or added any new peripherals or devices (except the new SSD detailed above, which was after the problems started).

    :)

    Sabertooth 990fx won't boot to windows logo, it shuts down

    to boot and enter bios and load windows, any todays PSU (with the correct plugs) will work, AFAIK

    to enter BIOS only low wattage is used.
    Then, during boot, the HDD and a bit later the videocard card start to demand juice, then the other devices and periphericals... so the total demand during boot up is incrementing step by step, that's why a failure halfway could indicate a PSU problem....

    Windows 10 won't boot

    My pc won´t boot Windows 10 from USB/DVD

    So I wanted to change from my Windows 10 x32 bits to 64x. I downloaded the Mediacreationtool and used it in both a USB and a DVD. Tried used the usb, the disk and both at the same time but they won´t boot.

    I have a P7H55-M motherboard, the BIOS is updated and configured to boot first DVD, second usb and third SATA.

    So if someone could help me it´d be great.
