Hey everyone, a while back I upgraded to a better machine and used the prebuilt Armagangeddon Nimitz case. Over time some boot problems appeared, here are the images of those issues: Recently these errors started showing up when my PC started up after logging in. Besides these glitches, my PC also tends to bluescreen during the summer months—definitely something to watch for. Side note: I switched to a Corsair CV650 power supply, any advice would be great!

CMOS is a power source on the motherboard, occasionally these may drain and require replacement. Execute an sfc/scannow command in the command prompt window to fix any damaged Windows files.

If the scan tool doesn’t resolve the issue, consider a fresh installation.

Hi Team, just ran the scan and fixed a few corrupted files. Thanks for the update! I’ll check the CMOS battery voltage and plan to replace it if needed. Appreciate your help!

That drive D is severely damaged, losing all backup information instantly. The 240 GB drive also has 48 health points—similar issues apply. SSDs can drop to around 60% health and remain usable for a long time, but HDDs should be replaced even at high percentages if the data matters. If not, it’s best to discard it. I’m still using the 20% health HDD because my files aren’t critical.

That 240GB drive failed quite soon after installation and caused a lot of data loss. I was hoping to upgrade to a larger storage option, but since the damaged drive is the same as the one that came with my PC, it doesn’t make much sense. Thanks for the help—I really appreciate it!
