  1. Why is my laptop on a BSOD loop?


    So this problem has been happening off and on for about 2-3 weeks now. Every time I turn on my laptop it shows a BSOD that says “your device ran into a problem and needs to restart, we will restart for you.” And then it shows a random error message each time. Yet it never stops this cycle. Every once in a while it will allow me to actually get on to my laptop, and from there I’ve done multiple things. I’ve run a few things in command prompt chkdsk, Verifier, sfc /scannow and although one did find corrupted files, it did not fix it. What did seem to help one time at least was running a window

    HP Laptop Boot Loop

    I am encountering a boot loop problem with my HP laptop. Upon startup, it shows the HP logo and loading dots for about 11 seconds, then goes to a blank screen for approximately a minute before automatically restarting. The power button does not turn off during this cycle.

    Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

    • Tried hard reset and accessing BIOS/UEFI settings.
    • Unable to boot into Safe Mode or recovery environment.
    please see here the recorded video demonstrating the boot loop behavior for reference.

    Any advice, troubleshooting steps, or insights into what might be causing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.

    BSOD Loop when laptop unplugged

    I am getting a BSOD loop, but curiously only when my laptop is unplugged. It works fine when plugged in, but goes straight to BSOD loop if you unplug it.

    Yesterday the files on my C: drive weren't showing up. The green loading bar in top was slowly loading up, but nothing displayed. Files on the SD card and external hard drive were showing up fine. Turns out I was seriously low on storage, 250MB or so. I restarted
    and it went straight to BSOD. Which just looped and looped for about 30 mins. I gave up and turned it off. Which seemed to fix it, until I unplugged it to move and then got BSOD loop again. This happens now every time I try to run on battery power.

    I hadn't installed any new programmes or deleted anything for a few days before the BSOD loop error.

    I'm getting the following error:

    system_thread_exception_not_handled

    iaStorAC.sys

    What I have tried so far:

    • Uninstalled the minor windows update that was installed 16/06/2020
    • BIOS update from Dell - November 2019
    • Uninstalled Intel Rapid Start
    • Uninstalled Intel Rapid Storage
    • Freed up 40GB of hard disk space
    • Tried a soft re-install of Windows whilst keeping my files. Which failed due to "an error".
    • All drivers are up to date.
    • Tried to run chkdsk on C: through command prompt, but this didn't work on restart.
    • Run an error checking on the C: drive which seems to just stop after a while
    • I have no idea how to access the SSD drive though, as it doesn't show up on my computer etc. I assume it's just running in the background with the windows install on it.
    • I'm running:

      Dell XPS 15 (9530) 1TB hard drive and 250GB SSD - on which I believe windows is installed.
    • Windows b4 bit with 1903 (No May 2020 update yet for me)
    • No roll back option available

    I would rather not have to do a full re-install of windows, but will do if necessary.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
