  1. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Hi! Updates on this. After plenty of troubleshooting and messing with plenty of different stuff (both hardware and software), I'm fairly confident it's my older HDD causing the issue in my case. My setup is OS SSD (sata), old pc HDD, new HDD. It boots fine with just the SSD and just tried a...
  2. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately after clean installing 531.41 drivers, issue persists in my case :/
  3. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Fast startup is turned off
  4. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    I'll try to do this throughout this week. I get this issue pretty much only when I boot for the first time every day. I can't reproduce the issue if I shutdown and boot up again :/
  5. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Reinstalled OS (I'm running w10 though I know this is a w11 forum). Couldn't fix the issue. Atm I am getting stuck at boot spinning dots screen and my keyboard doesn't turn on after bios post and when w10 logo appears. I really don't know what else to try. Could it be a HDD issue? Maybe one of...
  6. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Updated chipset drivers, no luck whatsoever. Anything else I should try? I'll be doing a fresh windows install really soon too
  7. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Just had the first failed boot after updating the BIOS, so that didn't fix the issue. What I realised is that by taking out any usb device on the front panel while stuck in the spinning dots screen, the keyboard becomes responsive for like a second. System will still not continue to boot but...
  8. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Updated the BIOS. Will report back probably tomorrow, when I do a "fresh" boot that should be problematic if the issue isn't fixed
  9. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Just tried it with ubuntu: First boot of the day, got infinite boot (keyboard rgb off). Force shutdown, booted into Ubuntu through a bootable USB, no issues at all, very fast boot. Second boot is almost always also a failed boot (3rd boot attempt gets me into windows just fine). Will probably...
  10. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Good to know, if I don't get this fixed, I'll probably try that and see whether the psu is faulty. Right now I can't get the boot to fail so can't really test any other fixes. It's so weird that the issue doesn't always occur even after disconnecting from the power outlet :/
  11. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Any way to test this? PSU is pretty new and this shouldn't happen at all specially because everything that's plugged in in my case is a mouse and keyboard.
  12. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Can't reproduce the issue now. I'll keep the bootable USB in and I'll try to see whether it happens on ubuntu after a failed boot (I get 2 failed boots and 3rd one boots fine after troubleshoot screen). I'll report back when I have something.
  13. Intermittent boot problem - stuck at spinning dots (sometimes)

    Hi! I have the exact same issue. Stuck on the spinning dots screen. If keyboard rgb goes off, I know for a fact it will 100% not boot that time. I've done the usual sfc and dism checks, plugged both keyboard and mouse into USB2.0 ports, checked for ram failure, stress tested gpu and cpu to see...
