I recently encountered my PC freezing on the motherboard splash screen. After a loading indicator appears, it continues to run without stopping. Occasionally, after several reboots, it completes, but sometimes it fails entirely and I’m left guessing what to try next. For instance:
- I disconnected all USB devices and it worked.
- I reset the CMOS battery and restored factory settings on the motherboard.
- Performed a disk check to rule out drive issues (all tests passed).
- Placed the Windows installation drive in another slot.
- Installed Windows on a different drive (the new drive didn’t appear in boot options after the splash screen; I can now choose which drives to boot from).

None of these steps resolved the issue. Could you try additional troubleshooting steps? Or do you have any experience with this problem?

update the BIOS on your motherboard
turn off all devices except the system drive

I might consider refreshing the BIOS, yet it seems odd that such an issue arises when the system worked perfectly before.

I recently discovered a warning about a hard drive reallocated sector count issue. A disk check performed by HWinfo 64 identified this, but it doesn't seem to be related to the Windows version of the drive. Is there still a possibility it's connected to the problem?

It looks like the issue was with the Drive. Unplugging it resolved the problem, and everything functioned properly afterward.
