Hey all,
New to site and wanted to go ahead and see what everyone has to say.
I have Windows 10 and for a few weeks it will try to update (which I have read is supposedly the Anniversary update), and it will get to about 75% and then reboot and act like it is going to load up completely and instead reverts to a black screen with white spinning dots with no words. It will stay this way indefinitely unless I unplug and restart it (sometimes taking several attempts) then it reverts to previous settings.
Steps I have taken:
So far I have read online to : 1) Unplug WiFi Mouse (ineffective) - 2) Unplug internet cord / unplug internet cord, then reset. - 3) type in my password although you cannot see anything but white dots - 4) go to the Windows update page and try to force it to update (this said it did update and also said I had an issue with my video card update). updated both, but then later it will still restart to try and update windows supposedly and does same thing.
Steps I have read to take: 1) Reflash the BIOS, 2) Practically wipe everything and start again, 3) reset to a previous date.
Now second issue is that while playing WoW it will repeatedly make a revving noise for about 10 seconds at a time when something "graphically intensive" happens. Not even in a raid, just sitting with a druid attacking a single mob or sitting by a bomb fire in DM. I have graphics on lowest possible setting now, I used to have them on Ultra max everything and it ran smooth.
I do not want to just go buying a whole new computer (yet) , I wanted to just give this one a basic fix so my girl can play WoW np and so the pc works. I spent about 900 about 4 years ago on it and have kept drivers up to date (although I have not tried to update motherboard from website, or BIOS).
The game will randomly crash. Sometimes it doesn't happen, but then others it will happen after a couple minutes of playing.
Windows 10
AMD FX 6300 - Vishera 6core 3.5ghz (4.1ghz turbo)S
MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 RADEON HD 7770 GHZ EDITION 1GB 1
2x CORSAIR VENGEANCE 8GB 240-PIN DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760DG+ SB710 MICRO
SEAGATE BARRACUDA ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB CA-OEM
CORSAIR CX SERIES CX500 500W ATX12V V2.3 80 PLUS B+50
RAIDMAX VORTEX ATX-404WB BLACK STEEL/PLASTIC ATX
COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 EVO-CPU COOLER WITH 120
I am learning as I go but still pretty new to everything so any information I can provide just let me know.
Also I forgot to add when originally posting...A couple of times it mentioned something about Voltage surging or something.? So this is why I bought a new power supply. But there has to be more to the issue, something with the program files causing an issue, bad graphics card..thanks again
