Hey there
This is 2014 Haswell 4770K computer that never had any problems. Also on different occasions, after it wakes up from sleep, it would not connect to display/monitor. I kind of used to it. I believe it was doing it when I used HDMI in/out, last few years it works with Display port and 2 monitors through KVM switch. I think it is graphics card that would not fire up after awakening- I have some AMD middle grade gaming card like Radeon 7870 from 2014.
So today as I was walking in the room, it fell asleep and I wanted to wake it up, it would run fans and do it normal thing, but monitor would not come on, so I hit Reset. I have done it many many many times- I did it earlier this morning. But this time it went in to "Attempt to repair" mode and would not boot to Windows. So what is the best way to come out of it?
I should have old SSD in it- I cloned C drive few years ago (or did I clean install? Not sure) and kept old drive inside. I did not boot to it in a while. I could probably boot to it, and see if I can copy personal files from newer C drive. But I really dont have time to reinstall Windows and do clean install and deal with all the drivers installation again. Is there any better way to get it out of Repair loop? I find it hard to believe that Windows got corrupted from Reset. I don't think it was installing any updates.
Yep- it boots from old 220GB drive- at least I know it is not Motherboard or Memory. I have 1TB ADATA for C drive that can't boot. Any suggestions? Thank you.
