    Forever boot Spinning white dots with black screen no logo 0x80000003

    Hello.

    My computer doesnt boot. I get forever spinning white dots with black screen just right after MSI logo.

    I have 2 windows seperate drives. I had problems in past when this drive couldn't boot. If I remember correctly, 2-3 times I got it to boot by using some of DISM commands, it had similair problem. Dism and sfc scannow fixed it.

    But Now any command I use gets to error or crashes. I suspect that disk is in active state or something. Because from second windows drive the broken Nvme samsung evo drive is showing NTFS only and i cannot access it.

    But I can access broken disk from any rescue enviroment. The disk is new and tested and it is fine. Files are not damaged.

    I tried to provide a bit of debug information. And what I tried. Please let me know if you need anything more.

    Anniversary Edition no spinning dots at restart/shutdown


    I am having a Win 10 1607 restart issue.
    In my case the system tries to restart but only the screen goes black and then the screen powers off.
    The PC keeps running but will not restart.
    I have to push the reset button to restart the PC.
    Shut down works fine.
    In both cases there are no spinning dots...

    Can any one help with the restart issue.
    I have tried most suggestions on the interweb:////

    Black screen with Spinning dots after Windows 10 updates

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    1. Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the PC’s?
    2. Are the PC’s connected to domain network?


    I suggest you to refer the article Troubleshoot
    black screen or blank screen errors    , refer the section
    I see a black or colored screen with spinning dots after restarting my device.



    However, if the PC’s are connected to domain network, I suggest you to post your query on
    TechNet forumswhere
    we have experts on domain environment.



    Hope it helps.



    Regards,
