This means your Windows boot/startup is damaged or corrupted....you can try to repair it or boot into safe mode to see if the problem will correct itself but 9/10 you'll probably have to re-install or refresh windows. https://softwarekeep.com/help-center/preparing-automatic-repair-windows
This post will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to fix Windows 10 stuck in the infamous Preparing Automatic Repair in Windows.
Mine is different tho
It shows pro series because that's my motherboard, then on a black screen it show preparing for automatic repair
The only option are boot manager and the bios
Silicon power 16gb dual channel clocked at 3200MHz DDR4
I don't think xmp is enabled unless it's a default setting
Did that
Vga lights still turn on
And still stuck is preparing for automatic repair loop
If you can't boot into safe mode, or get to the repair options screen that means your windows install has been corrupted. The only thing you can do is re-install windows.
when you say the system occasionally shows blue screen, does that mean the automatic repair is successful each time?
are you able to use the system for a bit and then it has a problem again?
if that is the case, i suspect your ram settings are unstable if it's actually running at 3200 (you have to set it to run at 3200 in the bios) or your ram itself is faulty and causing windows to become corrupted over time as you use the system.
No when I start it up it just shows it
It is not running at 3200MHz
I think it just might be the windows I downloaded was corrupted
The ram is fine
any time windows has to repair, it's possible the ram or OS drive could be at fault
make sure you're getting the installer with the media creation tool directly from microsoft
Can you show me how to reinstall windows
Cuz there are limited options in the thing I'm in

make sure you have a usb drive for the installation media
It's the same thing...
but yes you should enable it
Ok
But the tutorial didn't work
I wiped the ssd
And put in a USB drive
I pressed f11 for boot options
if you wiped your drive, then it will boot directly to the USB, if you created the USB correctly
Ok
Go into the BIOS and disable secure boot.....
In the BIOS screen hit f7 to go into advanced mode
Go to Settings
Go to Advanced
Go to Windows OS Config
Make sure it's in UEFI
Click on Secure Boot
Disable
Save and Exit
Should be able to boot to the USB
Also the vga light on my motherboard turns on
But everything looks fine
And its still not working
My bios
you need to boot that usb drive as uefi when picking it for boot
what do you mean it's on there?
all you needed to do was download the media creation tool from the microsoft site i linked above and then run it to download the installer to a usb drive
go here and select your windows version from the list https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d

follow the directions to create a usable install drive
specifically the one that says Create Windows Installation Media for the version you selected
the f is ventoy..
what the hell are you using, just redo the install..
im so confused hoiw we got to using ventoy which never heard of it btw, just use microsofts actual install tool
Ventoy is like Rufus. both are used to make custom bootable usb drives. they're great IF u know how to use them. makes things complicated if u dont so i dont advice others using it if the purpose is to solely install windows. MS media creation tool works a lot simpler and easier
I dont think that windows us corrupted
I put the ssd in another computer
And ot works fine
So the problem is either the mobo or gpu
I'm going to exchange them at MC
Since your getting to bios the PC hardware is fine ide bet u money it's secure boot or the uefi settings on the current system are muked up and it needs a fresh install from the ms creator like they said altho I use Rufus cause it's just better
No cuz I put the ssd in another pc
And the windows was fine
So it has to be either gpu or mobo
Cuz the vga light is always on in the mobo
So it means something is wrong with gpu
Swap the GPU then
The system can work fine inna PC were secure boot or the uefi settings aren't messing it up too
But when u try n just slap it in a new system and hope it boots with new hardware it doesn't always play nice. A fresh install usually fixes those kinda issues
ok
I exchanged the gpu mobo and ram
And it's not booting up
And windows isn't corrupted
when u change parts a fresh install is best to do always. u can say the system may not be corrupt but it can't boot on that hardware for whatever reason literally the best thing u can do is a fresh install to get rid of all the old drivers that might be causing the problem
if u dont wanna backup yer shit and do a fresh install your gonna have problems just liek this and probly spend a lot more time banging yer head against the wall trying to figure it out then it would take to just backup your shit and reinstall windows and put ya programs n files back on it
if the pc boots to bios but wont start windows its 100% a system error not hardware
I don't need to backup
I don't have anything important
How to reset the cmos
The pc isn't booting
Pop the battery out for a few minutes and it'll reset
Did it
But pc still isn't booting
And windows is definitely not corrupted
Also have brand new rx 6600
And new mobo
But still no boot
imma chime in a little bit.
when you say "pc still isn't booting". what exactly do you mean?
a. pc turns on but the monitor doesn't react or display anything
b. pc turns on then turns off by itself
c. pc turns on with the monitor and sends you to bios
d. pc turns on with the monitor and shows you the windows loading animation (dots moving in circle towards the bottom middle of the screen)
e. something else
a
start with the process of elimination and do a barebones test. unplug everything from your PC and only plug back in the "barebone components". a PC requires very few components to run and get you started:
- psu
- motherboard
- 1 stick of ram
- cpu and cpu cooler
- gpu (if the cpu does not have integrated graphics)
- display port cable or hdmi cable
- monitor
the #6 and #7 are technically not required to boot BUT u might as well have them connected so u can see what's going on.
once you've connected ONLY those parts, turn on the PC by locating the pins labeled JFP1. you would then use the tip of a metalic screw driver to touch the pins corresponding to the Power Switch or PWR SW.
if your PC boots up and gets you into bios, you now have a baseline. you can now start adding 1 component at a time. i would suggest adding the following components in the following order, booting up each time you add one:
- 2nd stick of ram (followed by the rest of them if u have more than 2)
- the case front panel connectors
- the case fans
- lastly the storage drive (NVME/SSD/HDD)
the reason for this is:
- faulty ram would always stop a pc from booting and displaying anything.
- the case front panel connectors can sometimes cause a short, specially the switches for PWR and RESET and cause a boot loop, not allowing the PC to actually finish booting and just restarting over and over
- the case fans can also cause the same issues as the front panel connectors but very rare
- the faulty storage drive can also cause a boot loop, or sometimes it'll work but create major issues like delayed boot (as the PC struggles to read data from the drive). only reason u do it last is because it can cause false negatives/positives (like it'll work all of a sudden then it wouldn't work again).
good luck!
Thank you all so much for the help
I've finally figured out that it was just bad luck and that the cpu i had was burnt out
Had that problem with my first 5950x glad u got it figured out
