Windows installation van verdwenen.
During recent power interruptions at school, my computer would sometimes display the UEFI screen before shutting down completely. The Windows installation also became unstable. Recently, I tried reinstalling updates and it resolved. However, when I powered on from sleep, it booted into UEFI but then froze, displaying a black screen. I sought help from my older brother who was home. He found the system restored to default settings and thought the issue was with the boot manager limiting access to only my Samsung SSD. After resetting the boot options, the problem persisted. Windows failed to detect any installed OS on other drives, and the installation wasn’t recognized anywhere. What steps should I take next?
Hi, I 've lived in a place with fairly frequent power outages and these did cause all sorts of weird problems for my pc at the time, though not as extreme. Although I'm not nearly as technical as many others, here is what I would do knowing the situation: - Swap out SSD, Motherboard and PSU to isolate the problem. - It is possible that the computer has been turning itself on which happened on my computer. the reason this happens is unknown to me, but it has something to do with recieving dirty power-This might be causeing your setting resets. Even if the pc doesn't go through the entire boot sequence, it might be recieving intermittent power when it's shut down. - Get a Uninterruptable Power Supply. This will probably save you from experiencing such problems in the future. Power outages killed my motherboard once and caused problems that led me to replace my psu aswell. I cannot underscore enough the importance of delivering clean power to your mult thousand dollar pc. Just a few sp lit second power outages can kill your components, get a UPS. -
