Just started today. Was able to let it automatic repair and boot up. Was on for like 10 hours, shut down and tried to boot up some hours later. Now its completely stuck on automatic repair. Have unplugged all additional hdd’s and then all unnesscarry USB’s. Still doing this. Also removed my ethernet card. Still the same.
I cannot lose my data. I have several SSD’s and HDD’s with important files across several of them.
Switch to Linux!
Seriously though, if it boots, update your drivers, probably your graphics card. Try downloading the latest from Nvidia or AMD or whoever makes your card. Your BIOS might have built in diagnostics too, try running them to see if anything throws an error should the driver update not do the trick.
Edit: Thought the “seriously though” would tip people off but I guess the crowd was too dense? Oh well, comedy is hard.
Yeah ill download Ubuntu right now thanks.
Reddit jokes aside: how do I boot into safe mode to update my stupid Nvidia driver ?
You can’t boot into safe mode then it’s not a driver issue. You might need a pre-install environment. This may be a hardware issue. It also may be a bad update to the kernel.
Jesus christ I am going to lose all of my data on my C drive, arent I?
Is your data encrypted? If not you can simply remove the c drive from your computer plug it into an external kit and view the contents from another computer.
Also, if you do connect it externally and you discover that the disc has issues and it’s not just a memory problem or something, do not under any circumstances do a disc fix. I lost to drive that way, 2 TB of information just poof. So if you are able to access the drive but there is actually some issue with the drive just remove the data little by little as you can no matter how long it takes.
Edit: I should have added, you can also use a pre-installed environment OS or an operating system on a thumb drive to access your data. Though I would say for diagnostic purposes removal of the drive to an external kit tends to be better at separating issues with the drive from issues with your actual computer.
Use Arch btw
Can you boot into the OS at all? If so, at the sign in page, hold the Shift Key down while you select Power > Restart.
After your PC restarts to the Choose an Option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.
You’ll probably want safe mode with networking unless you already downloaded the driver.
Nope.
If Windows 10 fails to load enough times, it should offer to boot you into safe mode, however, it sounds like you might actually have a failing drive: I’d recommend cloning the drive ASAP to attempt data recovery (don’t do anything else to the drive until you clone it). After that, you can try a repair, but if you have a failing drive it’s best to stop using it after you get your data.
Good luck, I hope this helps!
I think my motherboard has shit the bed. Its been having odd voltage irregularities for a few months now but I just chalked it up to be a custom pc built by a moron.
I can now force the pc to boot from usb windows recovery tool but it still gets stuck on the asus logo. I leave it for an hour and it’s the same.
My c drive is a nvme so ill need an enclosure or adapter to pull/clone the vital data…
Not a fan of bots, but Lemmy might as well have a bot that acts as a first responder to tech support questions with this response.
Drivers are a pretty common issue, or were you talking about the Linux joke?
…or, maybe this is just the right advice so often
“Hey my cars engines is having issues”
“Have you tried a bike?”
Give your head a shake, it’s not good or the right advice, the only ones that want to hear it is people who want to circle jerk, doesn’t help anyone.
People having tech issues aren’t going to need the advice, it’s only going to upset them, and show everyone else how you can’t even read since you can’t answer a simple question.
It’s not even funny.
windose people can’t tell a joke… but I guess that makes sense
Pretty sure I covered that.
And you’re doing a fine job doing proving my point about not being able to read.
Do you think someone frustrated from having issues, and asking for help, is going to want a lame joke instead of help? Or is that just going to further frustrate them?
Or are you incapable of comprehending this?
To be fair that’s not an good comparison. This comparison would be proper if someone was asking:
The proper one would be:
Neither of them are helpful, but I think it works better.
… ……
Or maybe suggest a repair manual or mechanic…? How is suggesting a bmw helpful?
I said:
It isn’t
You must need a ladder, because you clearly missed the entire point of my comment.
No, I got it. I just wasn’t commenting on that part.
As if Linux can’t have hardware failures … Which is the main reason for blue screens.
Why are so many Linux fanboys so notoriously dense?
Pretty sure they meant it as a joke. That’s why they followed up with “Seriously though” and a real suggestion
Funny how you are talking shit about “obviously dense” when you missed what was very clearly a joke literally followed by “seriously though” and then actual troubleshooting steps. Seems pretty dense…
