    hi Currently, my PC is stuck in a loop where it will not boot. The loading screen displays indefinitely, and after a hard reset my PC will initiate "Automatic Repair". After a few minutes it will blue screen with the error code "Driver PNP Watchdog", restart and the loop continues.But have taken the SSD out from the PC and put it into another PC laptop and it boots with no issues, advice?

    :)

    PC Stuck in "Preparing Automatic Repair" and BSOD "Driver PNP Watchdog" Loop

    Hi,

    I would appreciate some help on an issue I may have caused on my Windows 10 PC.

    Currently my PC is stuck in a loop where it will not boot. The loading screen displays indefinitely, and after a hard reset my PC will initiate "Automatic Repair". After a few minutes it will blue screen with the error code "Driver PNP Watchdog", restart
    and the loop continues.

    One potential cause may have been a change I made the last time the PC was on (yesterday) where I disabled "Compress contents to save disk space" on all folders on the system. Could this have caused my drive to run out of storage and not boot on the next
    restart? Is there any way of fixing this?

    Any help much appreciated,

    Ewan

    PC Stuck in "Preparing Automatic Repair" and BSOD "Driver PNP Watchdog" Loop

    HI Dave,

    I'm struggling to force the boot into the recovery environment, as on each startup, it alternates between the normal Windows loading screen and the Preparing automatic repair screen. Is there a way to boot into safe mode from the UEFI BIOS?

    Thanks,

    Ewan

    EDIT: Also the "Preparing automatic repair" results in BSOD before I have any option of selecting safe mode
