Hi, I'm facing a problem that seems difficult to resolve. I've tried various solutions, including reinstalling Windows and updating the BIOS. The issue began after I changed cases and moved all components to another case. Now it happens consistently.

When I power on my PC from a power-off state, Windows takes an extremely long time to boot, displaying only a black screen with just the cursor visible. It takes 1-2 minutes for Windows to load, but this only occurs after the PC has been off for about two hours. Restarting works fine, and restarting while in the black screen also boots me correctly the next time. I'm planning to share a video with the issue.

This problem started after switching cases, which makes me think something might have been damaged. I don't know how to fix it and have tried everything except a CMOS reset, though I'm unsure if that would help. The boot drive is an SSD, and although scans showed no errors, I'm worried about potential faults.

It happens to me too. I just brush it off and let it handle itself, lol. It might be Windows 11 acting up now, like a mind of its own or something.

Same issue occurred with Windows 10; after a fresh installation of Windows 11 it worked again.

I mean not all the time but it'll shut off at certain moments and then restart right away after being told to stop or immediately goes to the sign-in screen, which I don't mind because now it's basically an AI PC with a 40 Series GPU, and you're wondering what that means for the PC's actions. Why should that matter anyway? How often do you go from the sign-in screen to shutting down?

Although it's not a major problem, I'd prefer it to never become one because it can be quite bothersome. It reminds me of the old days when booting up felt like running a slow HDD. Not something that used to happen.

Was dein Gerät während der Wartezeit ohne Strom unterbrochen? Manchmal dauert es länger, bis mein System startet, und das ist der Grund, warum ich eine APU (Notstromversorgung) installiert habe.

dive into your startup procedures and remove unnecessary details.
