I just built by gaming pc few days back and I’m having an issue First start up : computer boots up , monitor gives out a display… goes to sign in windows screen then immediately goes black and few seconds after shows “No Second start up : computer boots up, monitor gives out a display… . This time around I can enter my windows log in password and hit enter… but then again after I hit enter it shows a screen with black light and then again “no signal" On monitor Third start up : works fine without any issues This always happens… first two tries are a bust but always works on the third restart… can anyone help me fix this issue?? Fixes tried: -Reinstalled windows OS -Removed and reattached rams -Checked hdmi to Pc and TV connections -Checked connections
- Disabled fast boot option in windows power settings -reconnected my 3060TI gpu What I think: it should be a software issue since the issue is recurring and always works in the third restart… if it was hardware it should have been random but for the past 2 weeks the issues remains the same so does the restart count 3 If anyone could help me out that would be awesome I don’t have a single thing to try anymore and I’m worried since this is my dream build and I worked hard for it for over 4 months working 9 hours to buy all the parts
There could be a number of possible causes. What are your specifications? Mainboard, CPU, power supply, etc. 1.) It could be a driver issue. Have you tried booting up in Safe Mode? Here are 8 ways: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/4-ways-b… 2.) Does the problem happen if you do a soft shutdown from Windows the day before and then start up the next day with a mouse or keyboard click (setting in BIOS/UEFI). 3.) Another thing to try is to boot into the BIOS/UEFI screen from a cold start at the start of your day. Does it work? Stay there for about 10 minutes and then do a regular boot-up. 4.) Could be a power supply issue - defective capacitior taking a long time to “charge-up”. Have you got a known good one you could swop out with yours? 5.) Take out 3060TI gpu and try anorther one and see if it boots normall. If no spare GPU - just watch drive activity light and estimate normal boot-up time. That’s enough to try for now. Troubleshooting is a process of elimination as I am sure you understand. I usually keep notes to keep track of things - what I tried and the time sequence of the actions.
