Unusual problem with input locking or freezing when the system begins.
Unusual problem with input locking or freezing when the system begins.
I’m looking at the situation from where I am. Here’s what you need to know: Seeking advice from those with IT/computer experience. Anyone aware of why my CPU usage hits 100% and freezes the screen when starting up? The impact is milder with HDMI/DVI versus DP. Every PC I’ve assembled experiences this issue. Specifications: ASUS A520M-K 5600x @ stock 16GB 2133MHz (XMP enabled but off) EVO 980 250GB 1060 6GB (blower model ASUS) RM550x What I’ve tried: Swapping components one at a time (RAM, GPU, monitor, RMA’d CPU, SSD) Used genuine drivers instead of default Windows (no change) Disabled all startup programs and ran only Steam Service/AC. Regardless of the edition, every time I reinstall Windows 10/7 I use a pure sinewave inverter with a 12V 100Ah lithium battery. Understanding the problem: With pros, many people nearby (Greater Vancouver) face stability problems from power issues. Yet none match my experience. I’m trying to resolve this because my peripherals on this PC affect my tournament setup. Plus, I notice strange stutters during gameplay in both offline and online modes, though no one else reports this.
It might be a virus or your antivirus scanning for malicious files linked to USB ports. The connection between HDMI or DP and USB devices isn't clear here. Clearing your system might be necessary to fix this issue. If you'd like, here are some steps: Unplug devices one by one to pinpoint the source. Update your BIOS using ASUS Repair Windows.
I noticed you shared a video and reviewed it. Everything seems to be functioning as expected. Your fans slow down when Windows starts, and the software manages system resources well. Task Manager usually spikes CPU usage when you open it, and the cursor might freeze under heavy load. It appears your system isn’t fully powered on yet, so you’re forcing it to launch Steam. Patience could help resolve this since the video displays typical PC behavior.
The problem seems to involve delays in startup and unresponsiveness after launching Windows. It appears your Steam application may be prioritized over other background processes, leading to freezing or slow loading. Check if your system boots normally and whether Steam consistently struggles during startup or usage. Clarify if the issue occurs only at specific times or under certain conditions like gaming or web browsing.
