I have been facing a weird issue where, when I start up my Windows PC, nothing appears on my screen after the Windows 10 logo. Then, after about half to 1 minute, the system reboots and everything works fine. This happens only sometimes, though. What could be the cause for this issue?

I tried reinstalling Windows as well unplugging all wires from the motherboard and connecting them back together.

PC specs:

  • desktop
  • motherboard - gigabyte b150m d3h,
  • core i5-6500,
  • gtx 1070,
  • 16 GB RAM

UPDATE:

I don't remember precisely, but I think it started when I installed Linux alongside Windows 10 on a separate drive. But I removed Linux now, and I reinstalled Windows 10 too, and the issue persists.

  • Laptop or desktop? Have you updated Windows or any drivers/software just before this issue started?

  • When the reboot happens, does it always reboot just one time, then run fine? Does it ever reboot multiple times in a row?

  • @freginold I don't necessarily need to wait for reboot either, I can just turn it off by holding the power button, but the 2nd time it has always booted up fine so far

  • How often does it happen? Half the time you boot up?

This seems like an issue that occurs when hiberfil.sys or the root C: directory appears to Windows OS to be altered during Linux operation.

Be sure to disable Windows Quick Start and to disable Hibernate before booting to Linux.

Save the following as a .bat file and run as Administrator to turn hibernation off and then shut down:

powercfg -h off

shutdown /s /t 0

  • Ah I see, thanks you very much! Hopefully this will work. I was worried that it could be a hardware problem.

  • Le me know if it helps... BTW, the same script but with "off" changed to "on" can be used to enable Hibernate and then shut down.

  • I started using this script to turn off pc everytime, so far so good. But its possible it might just be by luck (because I have had days when it didn't occur at all). Thanks for help!
