Unusual actions when the system begins (laptop desktop)
Unusual actions when the system begins (laptop desktop)
Hello, I've been following the YouTube channel for quite some time, but this is my first contribution to the forum. It's about a problem I'm experiencing and I wanted to share it with the community. I have a desktop built from scratch with the following setup: operating system - Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.19044, build 19044, based on the Z390 GAMING SLI-CF processor from Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. It features an Intel i5-9400F CPU (2.90GHz, 2904 MHz, 6 cores), and 32 GB of RAM. The storage includes an ADATA SX6000PNP drive and a few additional drives. The GPU is an RTX 3060TI. My PC isn't the newest model, but it's still quite capable.
The issue began a few weeks ago when I was away from home for a couple of days and turned off the power to the computer. When I restart it, it takes between 5 to 10 minutes to boot up—usually seconds afterward. However, about 20-30% of the time, the boot process is significantly longer.
I've tried several solutions without resolving it:
- Updated the boot loader using a Windows USB drive (no problems found).
- Checked the SSD performance; everything was functioning properly.
- Based on other unusual symptoms and my instincts, I suspect a problem with the motherboard battery or BIOS. The last BIOS update I installed was several months ago, when I enabled Resizable bar support. Even though I had an RTX 3060 Ti, the card had an older BIOS, and it worked without issues for months after the update.
Anyone else have encountered this type of issue? Do you have any recommendations?
Updating Windows to version 22H2 is recommended. Ensure your SSD has sufficient free space—ideally at least 30%. Use the Adata Toolbox to install the latest firmware. A few months ago, my SX6000PNP received a similar update. The commands you provided can be run in cmd with admin privileges: DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth sfc /scannow
I've upgraded my Windows to the newest version (22h2 including the 04 cumulative update). Overall it's working well, though the problem remains inconsistent. I'm not sure if this fixed it, but I'm a bit unsure about updating the firmware to the SSD since it seems to be functioning properly.
