My computer usually turns on okay when I turn it on, but it doesn't show the screen after that BIOS test. I tried restarting my PC six times and it started working again. Normally things work fine until about a week later, then they break again. Sometimes the Windows spinning wheel spins too fast or lags for a few seconds when the computer starts at first. I changed some software like reinstalled windows, updated the BIOS to the newest version, reset my hard drive, and fixed my graphics card and memory. Nothing worked yet. The last hardware change I made was replacing my old RX 5700 with a used RX 6800. My new 6800 is set to undervolt it to 945 mV at 2280 MHz, and it works great when playing games. What could be the problem? Specs for my computer are: graphics card is an RX 6800, motherboard is a 5800X from an Aorus i570x Pro WiFi board, RAM is Corsair RM750X Bronze 32GB, and I have DDR4 memory.

I'll try turning down the GPU voltage and see if that helps. If it doesn't work, turn off XMP just for now to stop stressing things out. Maybe you have Windows Fast Startup turned on? Turn that off too, maybe it's loading a broken file called hiberfil.sys from disk. I'm all guessing at this point. Just set everything back to normal in the BIOS settings. My guess is my computer is confused and looking for drivers. If you can't turn off your PC properly now, there might be a problem on some hard drives that needs checking. It could be something else entirely.

Here is a picture of every single hard drive. I can use the 'Crystal Disk Info' tool to get this information right now.

I turned off the undervolt. I disabled fast startup a couple days ago, and then that's when things started breaking. Restarting the computer works fine, but shutting it down completely and turning it back on causes problems sometimes. EDIT: When I enabled fast startup again, the wheel stuttering went away and windows booted normally. But I can't say for sure if the problem is fixed yet.

Here is where I put the Windows drive. You can see it on this image. Also, here is another folder that has all my programs set up. Check out these links for more details.

I don't get why I keep seeing this error message. The trouble started a few days after you turned off fast startup. But now that you turned it back on, the problem is gone. Taking out and putting back on fast startup helps figure things out but doesn't always make them go away. If your computer turns on normally when fast startup is on or turns off without it depending on what happens, something is definitely broken. For instance, fast startup keeps some parts of the hardware running even after you shut down the machine. So if it won't turn on when fast startup is turned off, that could mean there are power problems going on.

Hey, after turning off "fast startup," my PC never refused to turn on again. Even with fast boot on, today's start-up was a bit jumpy and shaky, but it finally got going. What do I need to check next?

Is that a quick start or a quick turn on, or are you asking about BIOS settings or Windows options?

Actually, I wanted to say quick launch when you open the Windows settings menu.
