  1. Computer hangs on startup for ages after migrating to new mobo/cpu


    Hello,


    I recently upgraded my mobo/cpu in my desktop and ever since this has happened, Windows hangs on startup for anywhere between 10-30 minutes on the logo and spinning dots screen. On my old PC this screen wouldn't show for more than a second.


    My windows activation is set at "Windows is activated with a digital licence linked to your Microsoft account", so I felt that I wouldn't have any issues just putting my SSD with Windows on it straight into the new mobo and all would be well after a few driver updates. After I changed hardware, I began to get random crashes with new error codes every crash. I have updated every driver possible in Device Manager and done a variety of command-line actions to fix any issues /sfc scannow, etc.


    I have now got the computer to where I no longer receive random crashes, but Windows still hangs for ages on the startup screen. I feel like I have exhausted every option or idea I have come across on the internet so I am hoping I might be able to get an answer here which doesn't involve a full reinstall of Windows.


    Any help you could possibly provide would be greatly appreciated.


    Thanks!

    :)

  2. Changing my MOBO and CPU a

    I'm doing PC upgrades and changes entirely for my new mini-itx build.

    I'm not sure about how the process would work, but what are the appropriate steps I need to undertake before making my changes?

    • My personal data and files are backed up to my Onedrive, and have nothing to lose in terms of data.
    • I have an additional copy of Windows 10 (but would prefer not to use it in-case I do another PC build).
    • My MOBO and CPU upgrades are polar opposites of my current hardware:
      • OLD HARDWARE
        • Intel i5 6500
        • AsRock Killer MOBO
      • New Hardware
        • AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
        • Asus Strix X-470
    This is my first time doing a particular change so guiding steps would be greatly appreciated! Things like how to wipe my hard-drive and reinstall Windows, etc.

    You will have to buy windows license if you change the motherboard, unless you made the computer originally in the first place, or bought a license key.
