Windows fails to boot

[StevenNevets]

On my new build:

Occasionaly (not ussualy) windows fails to boot the first time and after 5 minutes restarts itself and brings me to that black screen.

I ussualy press start normaly and then it works..



But i have a feeling it's best not have to use this method... how could I fix this?

Does it display a blue screen with any kind of an error at the top and or file names at the bottom?

That and is the PSU sufficent, do you also mind posting the specs of your build?

there is no blue screen...

but there was one error I got along time ago, forget the name but when I googled it alot of people with HP's had the problem


my specs are in my sig, or does that not work?


the PSU is fine, unless it works for everything but this

My suggestion is this. Windows may have had a bad install, which is not uncommon. Try backing everything up, reformating and reinstalling windows. Start there and report back.

 

[StevenNevets]

This is my first build ever... So I have no clue how you do any of that

If you are overclocking, set it back to default and see what happens.
