Bootup Takes Two Tries

Polinsteve said:

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and have the problem of only starting at the 2nd attempt. I wasn't sure whether to put this as a reply or a new post, so if wrong please be patient with me.

My system is home built, the boot drive being a Samsung 850 EVO series m.2 SSD. Win 10 was installed via USB, the ssd being the only installed drive. Installation was very quick and easy and once booted performs very nicely. Every time it starts from shutdown, it reaches the Windows logo and shuts down.. I can guarantee that the 2nd attempt results in a perfect startup. I don't know if this: "BOOTLOG_NOT_LOADED \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\dxgkrnl.sys" is relevant.

All drivers seem to be up to date and working. Safe mode it starts 1st time. I would appreciate any ideas as although it isn't a major problem, it's very annoying.

Thanks

Steve, I'm the OP and this wasn't exactly solved; the computer, which was an HP Laptop just up and died; thus, the thread was marked solved.

Since yours seems to be a desktop and since this thread is old news, if it were me, I'd start a new thread. I think if you do, you'll be more likely to get help for your problem.

If you've read the whole thread, you'll have seen that even HP got involved, but couldn't solve the problem for me. My problem may have been that the video part of my motherboard (onboard video) may have been going south because that's what finally killed it. That's not to say yours won't be solved, since our systems are so distant from each other.

Then again, this brings up the thought that something similar may be happening with your system.

Best advice I can give at the moment is to start a new thread where you'll likely get more help than here in this one.
