System unexpectedly fails to start into Windows.
System unexpectedly fails to start into Windows.
Hello, my current system was assembled in December and has functioned properly until now. While resting in bed it shut down completely and restarted repeatedly. During these attempts it would attempt a Windows update but ended up stuck on the loading screen before logging in. After a short reboot it repeated the issue, then I restarted again and managed to boot into Windows by disabling the BIOS Expo feature. It worked once I turned it back on, though several crashes followed afterward. I also encountered a BSOD with the message “CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT” after multiple restarts, but I couldn’t reproduce it. Updating the BIOS didn’t help and using a Windows installation USB also failed to get me started.
I refreshed to the newest bios while attempting a fix. Previously, I was running an outdated version.
