cold boot

Hello, I am a help desk tech with 25 yrs experience so pretty skilled I would say. I am having a sudden issue with my personal laptop. It has recently as in within the past week started taking an unusually long time to get Windows to start from a cold boot. I wind up sitting for approximately...

Can anyone explain this to me. I have never had any problems with Windows 10, since its beginnings. I have no idea how long this has been happening, but I have just noticed this odd happening. The first picture shows what I get, everyday, on a cold boot. The second picture shows, naturally, the...

Hi folks, 1809 broke a few unexpected things and I'll post if interested. A drag I find myself spending 3 hours or so checking the things that [previous versions broke or reset to then list the new issues. But for now, this one seems interesting and is brand new with 1809: After 15-20 minutes...

This thread follows on from post #159 in the thread found found here: Windows 10 Creators Update Well, tried again ,no luck still this BSOD,only after cold reboot( wait for about 30minutes,PC off) ,then BSOD with message; Driver IRQL not LESS OR EQUAL. Then PC reboots into Windows. I have some...

So i have done all these so far: MemTest86+ without errors, clean installed all drivers, tried to reset but got BSOD during it too, sfc /scannow fails, dism caused BSOD too, did check disk too and as i told in title, it only come when i cold boot PC.

Did a clean install of Win10. All went well and all working. However, after I did a few Microsoft “Updates” I could no Longer get the PC to do a “Restart”. Yes, I could and can Start the PC from a cold Boot. I’ve also installed Win10 on another computer and have the same problem. Any...

Apologies if I am duplicating an issue here. Just recently I bought a new copy of Windows 10 64 bit and a Toshiba Q300 480g SSD. I removed the old HDD (which was still running XP), connected the SSD and tried to install Windows 10. No luck at all - it did not identify the SSD drive and...

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, computer works fine if booted up when cold. It will also restart (soft boot) without a problem but if I shut it down, it will not boot until I leave it off for a long time - overnight always works. I have replaced the power supply with a brand new one and replaced...

I'm having the exact same issue as original poster. Cold boot and on desktop. Usually 5-10 min in I'll lockup and freeze. Requires restart. From then on I have no more issues the rest of the day or night, even when playing high demand games. If I shut down or sleep it's hit or miss if it will...

Okay, so, I had both my desktop and my laptop (both running 7 Ultimate) registered for the free upgrade to 10; confirmed and everything. It didn't seem like the background download was coming through (I read where it's supposed to be stored, and checked, and the folder was there but was only...

Recent updates were attempted for Windows 8.1 unfortunately they looped and after over many hours (over 24) I had to turn the PC off. Then I ran the program to troubleshoot updates and it reported some errors which it further reported as fixed. I then ran the updates (important only) again and...

When I start win7 from a cold boot and type the password, nothing appears in the password window. Then if I do a restart and then select "start windows normally" the password is accepted normally. This is not fatal but is inconvenient as I have to do it every time I start the computer. Any ideas?

I recently installed windows 8.1 and there is a problem with the windows Fast Start up (hybrid boot) feature as sometimes it works and windows starts very fast and sometimes it doesn't starts fast but just take sometime to start as if I started from a cold boot. I tried everything from inside...

I have a computer clean installed with Windows 8.1 Pro, it had Windows 7 installed on it but I formated it and installed Windows 8. Anyways, boot time is very fast as the Fast Boot helps it make it fast, of course. But after booting a day later without going on it, it shows the boot screen...

Start on the first boot to the desktop after the upgrade to W8.1. It reported it could NOT connect to a network. Once I got to the desktop I opened the NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER and DISABLED and ENABLED my NIC. That made the connection. All was OK for a boot or two after that. However, on a...

I have got a problem now with my computer starting and shutting down right away when I am doing a cold boot. If I then manually try again it works. I was told to change the HDD Delay settings but cannot find it in my bios.:apologetic: I have an MSI B75MA-P45 motherboard. Does anyone have any...

So I 2 weeks ago I did a fresh installation of windows 7 to try and get rid of persistent BSOD's, and it seemed to work until today when this morning I got a blue screen within 15 minutes of turning on the computer while surfing the web. I though okay maybe its because of the cold humid weather...
