Hi,
My computer will boot, run through the bios setting, and then freeze on the Windows logo. If I restart the computer, it makes it to the desktop just fine and there are no further problems. I read that this might be a power supply issue, which the site said was because the hard drive isn't getting enough power to fully spin itself up. When restarting, the hdd is already spinning, so it requires less power to get it up to speed and to load the desktop.
However, I have a SSD, so I am a bit perplexed. Would this same theory apply to a solid state drive as well?
It sounds like it still might be a power supply problem, as I've had other issues that could also (potentially) be power supply related, like my graphics driver crashing during gaming sessions. This other problem went away when I locked the frame rate at 60 FPS, but the booting problem still persists and is obviously unrelated to the game settings of a particular video game.
Some specs:
- GTX 770 graphics card
- 16GB DDR3 2133 RAM
- i7 4770k Haswell
- Maximus VI Hero mobo
- Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
- Corsair HX850 850W PSU
Any insight would be wonderful! The crashing problem went away (finally) for one game, but this new problem is similarly irritating, and I am unsure if the crashing would persist in other games where I can't put a ceiling on the frame rate.
Thanks!
