I reset the BIOS. I reset the CMOS. I replaced the CMOS. No IDE option in my bios. Thing gets stuck on automatic repair - ill leave it on for hours and nothing.
I removed all additional HDDs and SSDs. I pulled the C drive and backed up the important data. Pulled the GPU and checked it real good. All of the ram as well.
I had gotten a BSOD with the “PNP Driver Watchdog” error. Google is unhelpful as anyone with this BSOD never received nor confirmed a working remedy or solution.
Now, after days of trying I am very rarely able to get to the Windows Install window from my USB. But none of my mice or keyboards work. They’ll work briefly for a few seconds and then stop. Nothing works to get them going again forcing me to shut down yet again.
Only thing I can think of is an unplanned and unannounced power shut off while I was out. Less than a week later my PC is pulling this shit. Refusing to boot.
Im ready to take it to a stupid pc repair shop… which im very hesitant on doing as I built this thing. Not to mention I dont like the thought of transporting this huge and heavy thing.
Seems like a good diagnosis, they probably have the setup and equipment to do a better PSU test vs anything you had on hand. Testing for load is a bit tricky, you’d normally see instability during runtime once you’re in Windows or whatever, it’s not that obvious if you can’t even get into Windows.
The current Windows install is pretty beat up so you should prepare for a re-install - but once the hardware is stable you’ll be able to properly test if Windows is able to fix itself and boot up correctly, could be by some miracle it all comes back up in the end.
