Windows 10 update problem?
« on: February 05, 2017, 05:28:45 pm »
So after the most recent Windows 10 update (Feb 4) my monitor is having trouble recognizing my pc and not displaying anything. I know it isn't my GPU b/c I tried to plug my HDMI port into the MoBo to use the integrated graphics but I got the same issue. My best bet is that my pc is still trying to configure windows or something b/c my pc hasn't entered sleep mode in several hours. I'm curious how I could go about fixing this w/o a display or if anyone else has had a similar issue? Please and thank you!

Have you tried booting into Windows with safe mode?

Do you still get the flash from your motherboard when booting or does it just not work at all?

Nothing. My keyboard/Headset/Mouse are all receiving power and such because the lights are on and stuff.

Yes, that was troubleshooting step one.

Hopefully mods are gentil for letting me type on this account :P

If your motherboard isn't even posting then its definitely not just a Windows problem.

Even if all my other peripherals are working?

Maybe I should add that I've had this problem once or twice before and it would always happen after a Windows update and my display would always boot after a few restarts but this one is taking a bit longer...

I've read online that sometimes a Windows update can fuck up the drivers, could it be something to do with that?

The way to tell that would be to boot up Windows in safe mode, but if your Motherboard isn't posting, then you can't get through to booting into safe mode so...

As for peripherals it doesn't really matter, I mean mine stay powered even when the PC is off so

Aight, so I'm going to need to get a new MoBo when I get a chance.  :'(

Aight, so after some trouble shooting I found out it was my windows. I temporarily fixed it but after a second update, windows isn't loading... again. My computer will post now but once the MoBo logo displays it'll try to load windows but after a few seconds it'll revert back to the MoBo logo and repeat. Is my windows just currupted and how would I go about fixing it?

Does that make the hard drive unusable or?

Yes

the only thing your computer would be able to do is access the motherboard.

Look up how to boot into safe mode with your PC or motherboard manufacturer. If it loads it's not your hard drive. Let me know.
Knightmare is from Albania, no?

I mean after/if I'm able to wipe it. Can I still use the drive afterwards or will it still be screwy? Thank you!

Thanks, I will. It may be a few days though.
