    PC Freezing on boot or within 40 seconds of being on the desktop


    I am looking for some advice. My PC was completely fine on Wednesday last week. I came to boot it up on Saturday and it keep crashing on the desktop after about 40 seconds. I rebooted multiple times and the problem remained. After multiple attempts it then stopped getting into the desktop and just froze whilst loading. I cleared my CMOS, and tried again, same problem.I installed a fresh Windows 11 install on my 970 Evo NVME, worked for a while, I started installing programs etc, then after a reboot, it kept freezing on start-up again. I went through another Windows install, this time installin

    :)

    Windows boots to the desktop then freezes

    Yeah...I went to google and got the F8...lol*Stick Out Tongue PC Freezing on boot or within 40 seconds of being on the desktop :p....thxxx

    It boots up in safe mode and seems to work fine. Now I just need to figure out what's causing windows to freeze up befor it fully loads in normal start up operation.

    Any suggestions where I might start ?
