Starting issues
Well, that's accurate. With the available data, it seems unlikely the PSU is the issue right now. Since we don't have the full specs, it's mostly speculation. Begin by turning off anything non-essential. If performance improves, the connected component is likely the problem. Otherwise, the fault could be in the CPU, memory, or RAM.
I discovered the issue by checking again and found the solution. It seems Windows 10’s fast boot mode isn’t functioning correctly. After turning it off, it worked normally on the third try. Why does fast boot take longer than regular startup? The difference lies in how quickly the system initializes compared to the standard boot process. Since you only notice the keyboard lights turning on with fast mode enabled, it likely affects boot speed without obvious visual changes.
Fastboot essentially captures a snapshot of your current memory and writes it to the disk, which helps Windows load faster. This means you don’t actually power down when shutting down. Rebooting resets your system clock if it’s enabled. I’ve faced similar problems, especially with my two NVMe drives in RAID 0 for the system drive—it’s better to perform a clean boot each time it starts. It only takes around 15 seconds, so Fastboot is disabled on my machine. It could actually slow down boot times since I have 64GB of RAM.
You can try reinstalling Windows using the recovery installation media. This process will restore your system while preserving existing software unless you specifically remove it during setup.
You may attempt the repair tool inside the installer. If issues arise, enter troubleshooting mode, launch the command prompt, and run powercfg /h off to disable hibernation, then restart the system.
