    Restart/Start issues


    Hi, I'm new but I've been around a few times and I thank you all for the invaluable help and tips.
    I just upgraded my Dell Optiplex 960 (ancient) Core 2 Duo, 8GB, to Windows 10 professional 64 (10.0.10941 build 10941) from 7 pro 64. I had to fight all the way through the install because it hung at the first restart. I finally got it installed through a little trial and error, but mainly by luck, with a cold start after initial step of install.
    Ever since, I can only get Windows to boot with a cold start, and it has to be really cold, if I turn the PC back on right away it won't boot. (Sometimes the only way is to pull the plug!)
    Actual symptoms are: hanging at the initial Windows logo with swirling dots for hours, or the PC saying that there's no boot device. Sometimes Windows seems to mess up the settings in BIOS and after I fix that it boots, but only if I shut the PC first and give it some time.
    I tried disabling Fast Boot, and I reflashed my BIOS. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Random restarts

    when you start the computer up press F8 repeatedly until you get a list of how to start windows, choose do not automatically restart on system failure. if your getting bsod's list what your getting here so we can further help you. IF the system is not getting bsod's and still restarting as you say then i would look into getting a line conditioner for your computer as you might be having power issues.

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
