Windows not starting up right..

Expand Post »
Alright.. Hey..

So yeah my problem is fairly simple unlike others I don't get any bluscreens, errors, messages etc I don't get anything

Simply put whenever I restart or turn my PC on, windows will not start up.. It'll get stuck anywhere along the way and usually when it gets stuck my monitor goes blank and the PC starts restarting untill I turn it off from the power switch, though sometimes my monitor just goes blank and the PC doesn't restart.

Sometimes I get stuck in the windows loading screen.. Sometimes in the welcome screen.. Sometimes in the desktop when programs are opening.. And now recently my CPU has shut itself down a few times and just randomly completly froze which it has never done in its 3 year life time.

So simply put it just wont boot up.. Sometimes I can get it working after 1 failed start up attempt.. Sometimes I spend 30 minutes in the morning just turning my PC on and off...

I have no idea what caused this it simply happened out of the blue one day.. I didn't install anything, delete anything I did nothing basically. Did my stuff online one day went to sleep and the next morning it started. When I first got the problem I scanned my computer like mad but I didn't find anything that could beep around like this and by now it can't be a virus.... I guess I'm just at a loss since problems with no appearant cause are just frustrating..

Apologies for the useless wall of text..

Check the fan on the processor.
the processor may be overheating.
Also check other fans.

Re: Windows not starting up right..

So I cleaned the fans, all of them. I thought what the heck even if the BIOS was telling me that it was alright ( turns out it was lying )..

But the problem still persists. There are some changes however.. Restarts seem to work normally now.. And it seems that if I can get into the Windows loading screen at startup it WILL start normally..

However it can get stuck before that or just go blank. Ohh yes and before I forgot to mention a small but possibly relevant detail.. You know the beep your computer makes when turning on? Well most of the times when the startup fails it turns on without the beep. but sometimes it will also fail if it turns on with the beep ( if that makes any sense to you guys )

Re: Windows not starting up right..

Well I'll try that.. But also it would seem that the computer likes to freeze now.

I thought it was a one time thing but it seems my computer froze again for the 2nd time in its 3 year life.. And with it my internet disappeared. However my internet disappeared yesterday after cleaning the fans. And I discovered a magical way to get it back. The magical way is to appearantly freeze my computer myself.. Then the internet comes back magically.. I'm really at a loss now.. Quite frustrating bullshit

Re: Windows not starting up right..

If you have a linux type startup cd (or similiar non windows startup) try to beet from a CD (may need to change bios settings) and if it gives the same freezing then it is almost certainly either of the two ideas already mooted ie overheating or faulty memory, contacts or disk drive connections.
If it does boot into linux (or whatever CD) then the trouble would seem poerhaps to be more software / virus / disk have yu run Chkdsk c: /f
to ensure disk is coherent. If ther are faulty startup files that cannot be fully read this may be the cause and reinstallation after disk format is the answer!

Re: Windows not starting up right..

Hmm I wish I was smart enough to fully understand the chkdsk reading.. But there seems to be some sort of errors I'll just copy paste the error bit xD

Usn Journal verification completed.
Correcting errors in the master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute.
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these

So I'm lightly put not too bright with computers, but is this of any use identifying the problem
