Weird PC behavior
Weird PC behavior
Hello, I noticed two issues with your PC. 1) When turning it on, it sometimes jumps straight into BIOS, which is inconvenient. After exiting BIOS, a beep plays and then it switches to Windows. Is this typical? 2) During sleep mode, the PC fails to power on, requiring you to manually turn it on with the power button. Every time you open a program or tab, it restarts. How can I resolve these problems?
I understand you can prevent the PC from sleeping, but you're curious about why this is happening. There are no errors or alerts—just the system moves straight to the BIOS, then a beep occurs before loading Windows.
What Windows are you using? 11 or 10? Can you share your PC specs?
System specifications for Windows 10 include an I7 8700 processor, RX 570 GPU, 16 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, and a 1 TB HDD.
Have you used the Windows Startup Repair utility? What is the order of your boot devices in the BIOS? Are there any external drives or USB sticks connected during startup? The boot device priority can often be changed to USB or external storage, which may lead the system to boot into BIOS because those devices don’t have an operating system.
You might attempt to remove the CMOS battery from your MOBO for a few seconds to observe whether resetting the BIOS assists (or erasing CMOS using the button on your motherboard if available). Updating the BIOS is another option, but review the BIOS documentation to ensure it won’t render your CPU or RAM obsolete.
