Windows 10 won't boot - fresh install

Thanks for the tip Ed. I downloaded Speccy, which enabled me to fill in the motherboard info, but I can't see anything in there about the PSU.

Any ideas? Thanks again.

The option that EdTittel just suggested is: Speccy - System Information - Free Download


685W or 425W

Yes, that's the one I used. As I said, I can't see any mention of PSU.

Right, just ran WhoCrashed, and here is the result of the analysis...


I've also attached a zip from the log collector.

Thanks

Hello, sorry I haven't replied, been down with the flu. I'll try and get this done later and post the results.

Just out of interest, please can you explain to me where you are going with this? I'm interested to know how you're looking at the problem. As I mentioned before, the two issues I see are the sporadic black screen when booting, and the sporadic issue with the Start menu not working. Once the machine is booted correctly, everything seems to be fine. Just interested to know how your investigations are directed towards those.

Thanks again.

P.S. The Cisco utility was only installed about an hour before I took that last log collection, so won't have been the cause of anything I saw beforehand.

See post #96 steps #5 and #10.
When testing for WHEA hardware errors we need to systematically check CPU, GPU, RAM and drive.
The pending tests are CPU and GPU.

I asked you about running those tests, as I was a little nervous, given that my system seemed to be running hot before I started. Please can you comment.

When I use SpeedFan, the GPUs always show hot, and the Cores often do. Right now they are all showing hot...



Is it wise to run such tests?

The tests are interactive.
The aim is to find out what is causing the hardware errors in the event viewer.
Then decisions can be made.
Each test has criteria to look for to abort testing

You didn't answer my question.

From the Prime95 web site...

Warning

While running Prime95 your CPU will become incredibly hot, it is imperative that you keep a constant watch of your CPU temperature with a system monitoring utility such as Speccy, Speedfan or HWMonitor. If your CPU temperature does reach dangerous levels stop the Prime95 stress test to prevent inflicting damage on your CPU.

Given that my CPUs are showing hot before I even start the test, is it wise to run the test at all? I don't know what they consider "dangerous levels" but given that I have flames, I am dubious about heating the CPUs even more.

Actually, I'm a little concerned that they are so hot anyway, as I'm not particularly stressing the machine. Any idea why they would be so hot?
