temporary boot problem
My desktop PC is dualboot with two SSD's and HDD. It ran for a long time without problems. This morning the PC suddenly stopped working and my monitor told me: no signal. Several restarts did nothing. Waiting for half an hour and starting up did nothing. The PC refused to boot. No messages, dark screen.
Trying to boot from a recovery disk: The DVD did close itself during startup but the recovery disk did not spin. No booting possible, although the DVD is the first booting device.
My conclusion: hardware failure or serious Bios problem, so we go to the PC shop.
After an hour in the PC shop, after several restarts suddenly everything started working again. No problem anymore.
Check 1: was there a disturbing Windows update: no; check 2: something to see in the error logs: no.
Although everything works now, I am wondering what has happened and what could be a possible cause. Was it just a long time waiting that some (boot?)memory could reset itself? Or possibly a lingering hardware issue? Thanks for ideas.
