Windows 8.1 weird booting issues

Decepticon06 · Jun 6, 2014

i did a fresh install of windows 8.1(also have a new ssd). If you restart(not shut down) it hangs up on the windows 8.1 loading screen before u put in your password, but if you shut down turn the power off to the power supply hold the power button for a second to get rid of residual electricity, it will boot correctly and fast into windows..... Im befuddled i just don't know why it would do this.. Also as i remember if i put my usb thumb drive that has the install for winds 8.1 if i dont shut the power supply down adn do the power thingy it wont boot into that ither which makes me think it might not be the harddrive, one more thing i also went inot bios just a few min ago and loaded fail safe defaults any help would be really appreciated thank you all

All you're doing buy shutting down that way is avoiding the Fast Startup which Windows employs to boot your machine with info stored in a file called Hiberfile. Obviously this is not working as it should, and you'd be as well to disable it as with an SSD you won't need it. Plus the hiberfile takes up space you may need later...
Windows Key plus 'X'
Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
type powercfg -h off then hit Enter
Should do the trick.

Try Windows Diagnostics

First try System File Checker
Windows key plus 'X'
Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
Type sfc /scannow then Enter

It finds and fixes errors in Windows, but doesn't always report them. Run it and see if the fault disappears after re-booting your system
If corrupt files are found that can’t be fixed, try

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (Observe spaces before /)

Re-run SFC

To view CBS Log

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

Search C drive for sfcdetails.txt or navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and scroll down.

(Probably a good idea to run the Dism Command anyway…)
