Windows getting stuck on Starting Windows

Hey there and welcome to SF!

What your looking at with the power Draw is going to be worked out very roughly.

CPU = 60Mw
Gpu = 90- 120mw Depending on usage
Running 5 HDDS will vary to around 35MW, again depending on usage. So you may be ok or you may face an issue.

May i ask how you have tried Debunking all other issues?

May i suggest that you start with the bare basics of the system and start building it up?

So CPU, Mb, HDD, Psu and one stick of RAM.

This will do two things, one is to check your individual components to find out how they run piece by piece. The second is to identify when the issue actually arises, if at all.


If you are facing this issue when your running on the bare essentials, then you may actually be looking at a Bad HDD. So the drive itself may be getting old and crippled.




Let me think some more and i will try to some other ideas!

Cheers

Alright, I scanned each and everyone of my hard drives through safe mode cmd. I unhooked each and everyone one of them one by one until my main hard drive was left. I also have 7 sticks of ram sitting in front of me. I tried each and everyone of the ram sticks to come up with the same problem(each one at a time). I also reseated the CMOS battery and even replaced it. I stuck my CPU into another computer of mine and it boots up to Windows fine. Right now my Radeon HD 7770 is unhooked. I'm currently hooking up my brother's 650W PSU to see if it works, I'll let you know what happens.

So if i am reading this correctly, Your now running on the bare minimum as i suggested and your still facing the issue?

That actually more implies it is a hardrive failure more then anything else. However the only way to check it would to be by running a R/W Analysis tool on the drive or running the OS from another HDD.

Have you tried using a different HDD as your primary for the OS?

I see that you are using a second computer with no issues, it doesn't actually sound like a component issue however, and i would like to guess that even using the 650 would not change the results.

Xykhir are you running with SATA or PATA connections?

Sata connections can be identified as the bottom image whilst pata as the top.

Interesting,

To avoid me reposting more old posts can i get you to have a look through this post?

It's an older version of the same question. But i think it may be relevant to your issues.



Oh and can you make sure that your Bios settings for the HDD are set to SATA / Enhanced and not Compatible?

Alright then!

Bit of a strange one, I don't think anyone would've been able to help you with since thats a physical issue that we wouldn't know about!

Glad you got it all sorted though,

Happy Holidays!
