  1. My PC is booting up but my drives are struggling to power on.


    It takes a very long time for both my drives--an SSD and an HDD--to boot up; the CPU fan will spin up, the PC powered on the whole time, and there will be no display and the drives do not spin. After a while, the computer restarts on its own. It does this many times until, eventually, maybe the drives will finally turn on. Before, the computer was failing to even turn on, power cycling endlessly. This was resolved after I replaced the CMOS battery. But now this problem plagues me something terrible and I'm in need of aid as I cannot seem to find this particular problem elsewhere. I would great

  2. Lost Power, now PC won't boot. Powers on and clicks.

    I had tried both of those steps. Neither worked. I have a replacement power supply on order. Should be here on Monday. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Hope for sure it is the Power Supply without testing it and the checking the Graphics Card.

    My PC is booting up but my drives are struggling to power on.

    Hello Camera (RealSense F200) does not power on

    Hi,

    1. What is the make and model of your PC?

    2. What is the issue with Boot/wake up /sleep?

    Method 1: Hardware Troubleshoot
    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with power. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Power.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
      • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
      • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
    • Run the Power troubleshooter.

    I suggest you to install all pending updates and check if that helps.

    Thanks.
