my pc always freezes on windows boot screen
hi guys so i recently bought new parts motherboard,cpu,ram and cooler and i installed all of the new parts but now my pc gets to the booting process of the spinning circles then just freezes.

i tried getting a new ssd and tried to install a fresh copy of windows but it does the same thing it gets to the windows logo with the spinning dots then freezes and the only thing i can do is hard reset.

i have tried removing ram, changing ram slots, checked the pins on cpu, removing the gpu and plugging the hdmi into the mobo, having only the drive with the os plugged in but nothing works.

my setup:
cpu: i7-9700k
gpu: gtx 1060 6gb
motherboard: msi mpg z390 gaming edge ac
psu: corsair cx650m
cooler: be quiet shadow rock 2
ssd: samsung 860 evo
ram: ballistix 2x8gb 3200

i've tried everything on the forums but nothing seems to work im thinking of just dropping my pc off at a repair center.
so i have finally figured out the problem. my bios was out of date so i flashed it and now it works perfectly.
maybe the boot disk partition be cleared. you can disable emmc in bios then install a pure windows in ssd. enable emmc after the windows installed. you need to change the boot order so it checks the HDD before the floppy, cdrom etc...



btw a new pc means you will have to reinstall windows pat, sorry to read about your notebook issue.  be assured that i have been monitoring this post and see that you have received very helpful input.  if you're not able to duplicate the memtest86 hit, you may want to scan for "infections" as andre s. recommends.  however, along with malwarebytes, i would also run tdsskiller and combofix.   after doing this and the laptop still freezes, you may want to contact hp's excellent elite premier support team at 866 625-1175, especially if this model is still under warranty.  you also may want to pm me with the product number, serial number so i can get a case started for you or so we can discuss some hp options if out of warranty. thanks for the support! <3 you guys are really great, so many offers of help these last few days!

unfortunately we aren’t quite there yet. :frowning: this issue is a root problem with the trifecta of the processor, engine and windows. we have fixed the issue with the game freezing during the cabin… have you tried entering safe mode? Let us know if it is the same.



It could be corrupt files and not startup programs. re-flash bios using usb stick if you can get that far.
if not reset option and steps like clearing cmos and pins.?
new mobo or try manufacturer.. first try testing your RAM (goldmemory or memtest)
  

  
if the memory pass the tests try reparing your xp, if repair doesn't pass from any reason, pull your HD take it to your friend, back up the data, and reinstall OS the softest way to power down the system is using the gui or:

systemctl poweroff

the second one is:

shutdown --halt now

and then pressing the power button lightly.

[how to reboot / t…](https://archived.forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-turn-off-your-frozen-computer-reisub/124762/1) hi there floriann software,

first of all, i would say that it is always a better idea to open up a new thread, instead of engaging in an old one.

apart from that, as the drive is recognized on other systems except for the xp one, then it comes to drivers. make sure you go to the mobo's website and update the drivers.
is the drive initialized as mbr. in case it is initialized as gpt, i would advise you to back up all the data and initialize it as mbr. win xp has some limitations on that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2581408

i have solved the problem.it was mistake from my own part.
