PC boot screen freeze!

[MrGhosh_21]

PC load screen stops/freezes before booting everytime. I attached a picture for better understanding. I have no idea what the issue is but I checked the SSD, which is ok, checked Graphics, Processor and SMPS all are in working condition. I am only getting suspicious about either Motherboard or the Memory. What can be the issue? Please help.

Thank you

Do you use fast startup? If so disable this & restart the PC.
Try a full shutdown & then startup.
Ensure there’s no external USB drives?SD cards connected that the BIOS may be checking for boot files.

I do not use a fast startup. I tried a full shutdown and a hard shutdown too, the same problems persist. Even on the “Performing Automatic Repair” screen. The dots freezes. Any idea why?

I suspect there’s a hard drive problem.
Do you have Windows install media on USB? If yes then boot from this & run chkdsk - cmd prompt>chkdsk C: /r
You can also try this from the recovery USB:
OPTION 1:

Insert your installation CD or USB. From Admin Command, run:

[ol]
[li]DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup[/li][li]DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth[/li]NOTE: If it says: repairable, go to step 3, if not go to OPTION 2
[li]Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess[/li][/ol]
The install.wim file will be in the Sources folder of a mounted Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft Tech Bench (use ISO from OPTION ONE at link) file.

[ol]
[li]sfc /scannow[/li]NOTE: may have to run multiple times until you get the message: Windows Resources did not find any integrity violation.
[/ol]
OPTION 2:

Open the drive where your installation media is and run Setup.exe. Follow the instruction to perform update which actually does a repair.

I checked the drive and it’s okay, it has windows installed and it works fine when I plug into my other PC as a primary boot drive and everything works normal, but if I put it into my current PC, that is having issues, the whole boot screen freezes with the “Preparing Automatic Repair” screen displaying the same issue. (All dots frozen instead of circling continuously)

That’s why I am suspecting mostly the Motherboard or the Memory but I am not sure about it. Can this kind of problem happen if there’s a motherboard or ram issue?

I would recommend Rebuilding BCD (Boot Configuration Data) to Fix the error. You will need a bootable Windows 10 installation media for this.

Try the following steps:
[ul]
[li]Insert and boot from the Windows bootable installation media DVD/USB.[/li][li]Select your preferred language and then click Next.[/li][li]Press Shift + F10 to open the command prompt after choosing the language.[/li][li]Now execute the following three commands in the command prompt one by one to rebuild BCD[/li]

• [li]bootrec /fixmbr[/li][li]bootrec /fixboot[/li][li]bootrec /rebuildbcd[/li][/ul]
  [li]Now Type Exit and press enter to close the window[/li]

After that, restart the computer and see if the error “Automatic Repair, Your PC did not start correctly” is resolved.

If you are swapping the drive between PCs then this may be the problem if you’re trying to boot from the drive on both devices. There’ll be a problem on pc due to incompatible drivers.
Is there a reason why you need to swap drives?
