Win10 custom PC stopped booting - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
Just started today. Was able to let it automatic repair and boot up. Was on for like 10 hours, shut down and tried to boot up some hours later. Now its completely stuck on automatic repair. Have unplugged all additional hdd’s and then all unnesscarry USB’s. Still doing this. Also removed my ethernet card. Still the same. I cannot lose my data. I have several SSD’s and HDD’s with important files across several of them.

I dont know what to do. It won’t boot at all now. Just gets stuck on the asus logo. Bad motherboard perhaps? How could I check? Buy a new motherboard and hope it fixes the issue?

    Most likely just a software issue. Try booting Windows into Safe Mode. If it works, try rebooting normally and see if the problem was magically fixed.

        Your computer does boot from the boot drive. Windows just fails to load properly. Safe Mode is intended for exactly this kind of situation, but Microslop in their infinite wisdom has made getting into it as convoluted as possible. See if this helps you to get into Safe Mode: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-startup-settings-1af6ec8c-4d4a-4b23-adb7-e76eef0b847f

        This problem doesn’t in any way affect your ability to boot from USB. If your PC for some reason can’t boot from USB, it’s a separate issue. Can you enter Boot Menu? UEFI Setup? Do you get any error messages when you try to boot from USB?

        You choose to boot from USB drive or in recovery mode via BIOS/UEFI (you are already booting Windows if you see the Windows logo).
