    Help, i installed a new ssd and removed my hard drive, i transferred the contents onto the ssd. All was fine until i booted up my pc earlier, most softwares were stuck not responding and the pc was slow in general. When i tried to restart it got stuck, i left it for a maybe an 1hr before holding the power button down and forcing it to shut off. My pc is now stuck on the spinning circles after the asus sign. Please help

    :)

  2. PC wont boot up (No POST, No Video)

    I recently installed a new Asus M5A99X Evo r2.0. The motherboard green LED lights up and the case and cpu fans spin. But there is no video when its hooked up to my monitor.

    Steps that i have tried:
    http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems

    Made sure all connections are properly connected.

    Flashing the CMOS

    Tested the PSU

    Followed all steps in the user manual

    If there are any links that you guys can point me to or suggestions that could help it would be highly appreciated. Thank you

    Windows 10 Failure to Boot Passed Splash logo and spinning dots

    Hello,

    The summary, I need assistance in trying to repair my windows 10 system that since freezing and having to reset it two days ago it has not booted again. I have not been able to boot past the splash screen and spinning dots since this freeze, it will show
    splash logo and spinning dots at the bottom of the screen and then go to a black screen and stay there.

    At the time of the freeze I was playing a video game installed on my SSD which is where my Windows 10 OS is installed and also transferring some photos from my phone to my standard HDD. I've had the occasional system freeze/lock up requiring a reboot before
    with no problem.

    What I've tried so far:

    1. 2x Hard reboots to force the system into automatic repair on the third. This will go through POST to the splash screen, which instead of the spinning dots will ready 'Preparing Automatic Repair'. This then goes straight to a black screen and stays there
      indefinitely, at this point I either have to reset or do a hard reboot to try again.
    2. BIOS Boot menu - from here I've made sure of the correct order, number 1 being Windows Boot Manager on my SSD, I have also used the boot override menu (F8) to select this manually. This results in the same, splash logo and spinning dots followed by indefinite
      black screen.
    3. Boot from my original Windows 10 USB (UEFI), both with and without my SSD with Win 10 connected to the machine and fast boot disabled, CSM enabled, Secure boot enabled. This seemed to get me a half a step further, I was shown a screen where I could select
      to enter setup for either Windows 10 (64bit) or Windows 10 (32bit) or run a memory test. Selecting the 64bit setup option would then begin to show 'Loading Files' along the bottom of my screen, this would then move to a splash logo of windows and spinning
      dots, then straight to a black screen indefinitely again.
      1. I also ran the memory test, it did not find any faults, also removed and reseated each DIMM, no faults founds. Trying the setup option again after this still results in a black screen, I tried the 32bit install and got the same black screen result.
      2. I played around with a number of BIOS boot settings (CSM & Secure Boot) and never got further than spinning dots followed by black screen.
    4. Windows Media Creation Tool - I thought I'll give this a go because my original install USB didn't work. I used the media creation tool and a brand new USB Flash drive to create a new bootable installation media. The tool made this without any errors.
      When I boot from this new USB though I end up with the same result, this time though I get no setup selection (presumably because I made it only for Win 10 64bit) it's straight to windows splash logo and spinning dots, followed by black screen.
      1. I've tried using this new USB when my OS SSD is connected and not-connected, same result of black screen.
      2. I have tried with the GFX card removed and using CPU gfxs, same result of black screen.
    Through everything I've tried not once have I ended up at the start of the Windows 10 install environment where I could select repair, so far everything I've tried results in an indefinitely black screen after the first splash logo and spinning dots go away.
    I'm at a loss from where to go from here with troubleshooting this without perhaps pointing the finger at my motherboard. My motherboard however has not shown any fault lights or beep codes and which ever boot media I've tried it is recognizing and seems
    to try to use it but then I fall down at the black screen each time.

    Any assistance would be much appreciated, even if its trying the same things again but with a slightly different or more structured approach.

    System specs for reference:

    OS: Windows 10 Home (64bit)

    CPU: i5-6600K 3.5ghz

    Slow Boot on SSD

    Hi,

    I recently upgraded from an FX 8350 to a ryzen 5 1600x. This meant getting a new Mobo etc. With it came an SSD from Adata (120gb). I decided to install windows on the ssd and keep my 1tb HDD for games etc. I wiped the HDD (full clean, not quick one) and
    then installed windows on my new SSD. Everything functioned like it should, super fast boot and system operation etc. However, as my install disc for windows is a few months old I naturally required a lot of updates. After installing the updates to the latest
    version I ran into issues; I now have incredibly slow boot times off my SSD. It will go past the mobo screen as it should but then gets stuck with a black screen and the windows loading dots spinning (note; the dots appear in lower res, as if it were in safe
    mode). It will sit there for roughly 60 sec before going to the lock screen where it will take a while to load the image and let me actually log in. Once I log in however everything operates at expected speeds. I have tried everything from clean installs to
    reg cleans and start-up program disabling. Nothing has worked.

    I found this discussion on here (Redirecting) where someone outlines the exact same problem but it doesn't seem to have been
    solved?

    specs:

    Gigabyte AX370M-DS3H

    Ryzen 1600X

    16GB DDR4 Corsair 2400mhz

    Gigabyte 1060 3gb

    120gb Adata SSD

    1TB <1 year old HDD

    Peripherals:

    BenQ 1080p main monitor

    1080p Second screen
