Stuck in Windows Boot Loop

RocksRule21 · Aug 19, 2020

I built my pc around Christmas and i never had problems with it. I bought a new ssd for it about a month ago and it worked perfectly as my new boot drive. I was in a zoom meeting and my Screen froze so i shut it down, and when it booted back up, i was stuck in a windows boot loop.

You do not seem that proud about the most crucial part, the power supply.

He means: What PSU?

Anyway a boot loop to me sounds like drivers not loading, also to me most likely culprit dead GPU. When prompted, choose troubleshooting -> Advanced -> Startup settings -> Enable safe mode. If it works then it's driver related. Try a different GPU and see what happens.

have you checked in bios that it is number 1in the boot order ?

Create a windows 10 USB bootable usb and use the repair windows function.

Forgot to mention, it was an Corsair CX650M 80 plus.

idk what happened but i had the pc shut off for about an hour, it skipped the "repairing" part and it worked.

When you shut down the PC, a borked setting can be retained but can be flushed in 1 of 2 ways:

1. Let it sit for an extended period, and sometimes the borked setting will no longer be retained and it will defer to defaults

2. Start the machine and go to BIOS, select "Restore all settings to default", save and exit.
