Windows 10: My dektop PC refuses to boot (neither into BIOS nor Windows)

Hi all

For some time my computer has had some difficulty logging into BIOS as well as Windows. When I turn it on, it spins up in cycles of 15 - 30 seconds, but all that appears on the screen is "No Signal". The blue HDD-led flashes briefly at the beginning of the cycle and again, yet more briefly, towards the end. However, after some trying, the computer may end up booting into BIOS and, after I check out of BIOS, it usually boots into Windows as well.

The last time I tried to access my computer, I used a Windows 10 boot disk, I got a message saying that my computer needed to be repaired, and the error code 0xc000000e. I need to be lucky to get access to the boot disk as well.

In a forum on a different website, I have been advised to make a LinuxLive USB-key to help me get access to and diagnose my computer. However, I could not make my computer access the USB-key I successfully made according to instructions.

I have a lot of photos, luckily not stored on the system participation, but on a different HDD, which I was able to access by installing it in a different computer in the house. However, the folder containing those of my photos which are taken with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ40 was completely empty. Of course, I was in shock, and it was an enormous relief when, a couple of days later, I managed to log into Windows on my computer and found that the Lumix DMC-TZ40 photos seemed to be all still there!

I would be very, very happy, if someone could help me get into my computer and -- not least -- get more stable access to my Lumix TC40 photos.

Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

Windows stuck in automatic repair; Can't access BIOS/ boot menu

I've changed the boot order through both BIOS and the boot manager, as my original post stated. Neither did anything, but both were functional in the past. Neither listed the windows boot manager, either. Previously, it would boot just as expected whenever
other media was set as the first option, so I'm pretty sure there are no issues there.

As my original post suggested, I've already tried out the steps you gave. I've gone through all the options listed in the boot menu, UEFI or not.

My BIOS and boot menu settings were at their defaults when all of this started, so that's been tried already, if those are what you're referring to.

 

Windows 10 will only boot if selected from the BIOS boot menu.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

• You mean to say, every time you need to make changes to Boot Order in BIOS, to start your computer correctly?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

I suspect that the problem might be due to outdated BIOS update
or with Boot Configuration data. Suggest you to check for the latest BIOS update and Chipset drivers for your device hardware on Manufacturer website. If you find a new one, try to update the same to see if it correct
the issue. If problem still persist, then I suggest to rebuild Boot Configuration Data to see if it makes any difference.

Let us try to repair your computer by creating a Windows 10 Bootable media (I.e. USB or DVD) using
Media Creation Tool.
Use your computer or some other connected to Internet for creating a Bootable media (Windows 10 ISO image file). Once you're ready with Bootable Media, follow the below mentioned
steps.

• Insert the Windows installation disc in the disc drive or connect USB media, and then start the computer.
• Press a key when the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears.
  
  If your PC does not detect the media automatically
  • During the restart process, read the screen for any instructions that explain how to interrupt normal startup and enter the basic input/output system (BIOS) setup utility. Most PCs use the F2, F10, ESC, or DEL key to begin the BIOS Setup.
  • Look for a tab in the BIOS Setup Utility that is labeled Boot Order,
    Boot Options, or Boot. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the
    Boot Order, then press Enter.
  • Locate the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive (this might be called Removable Device) in the Boot list. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive up so that it appears first in the Boot list. Press Enter. The boot order
    sequence is now changed to boot from the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
  • Press F10 to save your changes and to exit the BIOS Setup Utility. Select Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will restart. Allow the PC to restart normally. The scan will take a few minutes and remove any malware that may be infecting your computer.
• Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.
• Click Repair your computer.
• Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click
  Next.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot. Select
  Advanced Options > Command Prompt
  under Advanced Options.
• Type Bootrec /RebuildBcd, and then press
  ENTER. This command will rebuild boot configuration data if in case any issue with Boot files causing this issue.

Once you done with the above steps, see if the problem still persist.

Let us know how it went.
