MSI GTX 1060 6 GB

NVM Samsung 256 Gb

I have tried all possible ways.

Tried without GPU.

Ran with Single Stick, Tried with new ram sticks too.

With Different PSU.

With Z170 motherboard.

But i observe the same issue.

Either freezing at windows logo screen or Rebooting constantly.

Looking forward to hear from you

Your support is much appreciated.

Hello LKuma10, Thank you for posting on the Intel ® communities. First, I would like to know if the unit boots at all or are you not able to navigate in the operating system? Have you tried replacing the unit with another one to see if the system boots? Have you tried the affected unit in a different motherboard to rule out any possible motherboard issue? Try looking for a BIOS update, sometimes BIOS updates can fix stability issues. Have you tried re-installing the operating system? Let me know so I can assist you further with this.

Hi David ,

Thanks for your reply :)

No it doesn't boots to windows, At windows loading screen getting frozen or rebooting constantly.

Yes i switched processor to old mobo z170 and MSI board and observed the same issue .

Yeah i tried to install new OS. When i select boot from drive to install fresh OS even there @ windows loading screen it gets freezes or rebooting.

But whats weird we found was if we open BIOS menu and kept CPU Idle for a hour or some. It doesn't restarts are getting crashed it is stable, I am facing this issue only when i am trying to boot windows or installing new OS.

Is there any fix or workaround way for this problem !!

Hello LKuma10, Thank you for your response. Have you tried using minimum configuration? One RAM stick, a different hard drive to see if the freezing during boot is related to the hard drive in use or not. If after doing this it still freezes then I would recommend you to, if possible, try a different processor in the system to see if the boot process doesn't freeze. Make sure to check that the RAM in use is compatible with the motherboard in use to avoid any potential issues, including but not limited to freezing problems. Let me know please.

Hi David,

Thanks for your support, Unfortunately my spare system went down due to that i was not able to check the post.

Yes we have tried with my buddy i5 7600K , System boots normal and i was able to boot into windows. When i swapped with 6700 it again freezes during window logo screen or getting restarted.

Its different have checked with few people who build gaming pc , None have come across this issue before.

And if i am in bios menu with faulty unit, It totally works fine i checked as much as for an hour.

On Window boot or when i am trying to install new OS from pen drive i am facing this issue. Also my unit have passed his warranty period.

Is there a option to fix this processor ??

Thanks,

method 1

reset the BIOS default settings

boot with windows DVD

method 2

upgrade to new BIos , if possible and available

method 3

downgrade to old BIos ( not recommended )

method 4

go to another computer , take windows 10 iso file and Rufus software

insert at least 32GB pen drive

use Rufus software to make bootable USB pen drive with option "WINDOWS TO GO"

once completed process

remove it , put in your pc , select boot device as USB pen drive

it will not install windows to any hard disk . but it acts as own hard disk with windows os installed
