[last timber]

is it a new pc

[jovial turret]

Not really I’d say I’ve had it about a year and a half

[last timber]

what are the specs?

[jovial turret]

4080 I9

[last timber]

is your drive recognised in BIOS?

[jovial turret]

Let me check

I’ll have to reboot pc so bios comes up again

Yeah my SSD appears in boot menu

:tada: Congrats @jovial turret, you levelled up to 2! :tada:

[jovial turret]

Then it just does this when it boots

[last timber]

try and force yourself into the recovery environment:
after the MSI logo disappears/windows starts loading, force restart the system, do this 3 times and it should throw you into a blue recovery screen

[jovial turret]

How does one cause it to force restart?

[last timber]

hold the power button

[jovial turret]

It just turns it off it doesn’t restart it

It’s still doing the exact same thing

Black screen with a buffering cursor

Have you put in any new USBs lately out of curiosity?

[jovial turret]

No new ones but I have had to move my pc but it was well packaged so everything was then put back

I had a black screen crash when I updated my nvidia game drivers the other day though

[ruby ice]

Yeah… those nvidia drivers are busted.

I had to go back to February drivers, the May ones did the same to me, caused game crashing, always had to hard reboot, black screens and more. If you can once this issue is sorted.. I’d go back to March or Feb drivers.

[ruby ice]

Can you remove usbs and then try to boot? This probably ain’t your issue, but it’s worth a shot, although when I had this issue, it was before the MSI screen

[jovial turret]

Yeah I’ll give it a try thanks for your help so far

[ruby ice]

All good man. I’m not gonna be the one to fix anything, Miles is probably better at this. I just fly in and suggest minor things lol

[jovial turret]

I’ve taken out all my usbs it’s still doing the exact same thing

[reef sluice]

:tada: Congrats @jovial turret, you levelled up to 3! :tada:

[ruby ice]

Why couldn't it just be the simple thing

I'd go back to what Miles suggested and give what he says a try

[jovial turret]

Ok man appreciate it

[jovial turret]

Hey @last timber sorry to bother you is there any other suggestions I can try as none of the following had worked

[last timber]

is that when it stopped working

[jovial turret]

No I’ve used it for about 3 weeks after that no problems

The only thing that could of possibly caused this

Is the game drivers update

When my screens went black and computer shutdown

But my pc was fine after that I used it yesterday night

It just won’t boot up today

[last timber]

since the PC won't get into the recovery environment you'll need to use a USB with the Windows installation media on it, instead of clicking "install now" you can select "Repair your computer"

[jovial turret]

How can one obtain one of these

[last timber]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11

you'll need to open it, install it onto a USB using another device and then put the USB in your PC and boot from it

[jovial turret]

Brilliant thanks 🙏🏻

I’ll give it a try

[jovial turret]

I have installed it on usb inserted usb tried to used it on the bios and it just tries to load windows again normally and doesn’t work

[last timber]

have you changed the boot priority

[jovial turret]

Yep

[jovial turret]

I’ve downloaded it on another device and copied it to usb did you want me to open the installer on my laptop because it looks like it would wipe my laptop

[reef sluice]

:tada: Congrats @jovial turret, you levelled up to 4! :tada:

[last timber]

if you click USB flash drive on this screen

then on the next screen select your USB

it should just install it to the USB

[jovial turret]

Ok brilliant

need to buy a bigger usb drive

ill lyk how it goes

[jovial turret]

Yeah I’ve booted it I’ve selected repair my pc and it just keeps reloading in circles

Like a loop of the same settings

It’s still just black screen and not loading

[jovial turret]

@last timber is there any other alternative i can try or she i try reinstalling windows again?

[last timber]

it's probably easiest to reinstall windows at this point

out of curiousity, what drive is it?

[jovial turret]

It’s my solid state drive

[jovial turret]

I’ve now reinstalled windows and it’s doing the exact same thing

[last timber]

sounds like a dodgy drive unfortunately

[last timber]

what specific make/model

[jovial turret]

Samsung

[empty stratus]

Try getting a whole new USB and fully reinstalling Windows. If that still fails then it might be a bad SSD and you'll need to contact support
