Windows 10: Intermittent failure to start PC

Not sure if this is Win10 or just hardware, but about once a week, maybe less, when I start my PC it appears to start up, the keyboard lights flash a couple of times, then it just goes off. Usually if I press the Start button again it will start and work normally. While this is mildly annoying, as long as it starts up all is good, but why is it doing this, does it indicate a major failure coming (it has been doing this for over a year) and what can I do to stop this happening?

I am running version 1909 (OS Build 18363.1379) if that helps in any way?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction/provide some comfort that I should not worry?

Thanks,

David

Intermittent pin logon failures

I am experiencing intermittent pin logon failures. It is random, sometimes logging me in and other times reporting pin is not available. I disabled the pin for now.

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
