How To Fix A PC That Won't Boot Up

[@Britec09]

please leave a comment and like the video, thanks

[@bl2005]

Does this work on windows 10?

[@captaincomando8107]

yes, thank you

[@ataraxia.tenets]

@Britec09 Please my USB drive is showing its file system as RAW. I have tried all methods including Command Prompt. Do you have any idea or video on how to solve this problem? Thanks in anticipation.

[@EazyCheeze]

Started the video immediately with a great deal of hope, As my computer has been out of service for three weeks now; immediately let down, because my computer won’t even post. No monitor signal. Goes off after 30 to 45 seconds, stays off about three seconds, then comes back on. Tried clearing the CMOS, reseating GPU and the ram; nothing. Will try to bring it into a computer repair shop this week, and get that process started. Thank you for the effort though. I do always enjoy watching your videos.

[@Britec09]

No post means hardware issue

[@Tsourfetis]

All this hustle could be solved mostly if they didn't disable "boot with last known good configuration" great video as always.

[@ashyouknow7420]

I'll surely turn that on once I fix my PC as it is not booting either.

[@Tsourfetis]

@@ashyouknow7420 make sure to enable restore point as well

Thanks Lou

Perfect timing! I just got a very old PC for free very recently and did a reset and just updated everything yesterday and the system powered on just once after updating and then it just showed Automatic repair process failed everytime and it won't boot up. Unfortunately, it says the system does not have any Administrator account so I can't access CMD or any other option in troubleshooting because of that including resetting the PC! It even failed to reset. Got solution to use a Windows Media Installation through a Pendrive and hopefully it works.

Reset the CMOS

What to do if i updated bios and now sceen doesnt turn on even to bios? O tried new motherboard, tested my gpu ssd and ram on another pc, all works fine

[@mikebaker2927]

It sounds like your motherboard is bricked/dead. Does the motherboard have a secondary bios?

[@Jenna_Tolls420]

@@mikebaker2927 i suspected motherboard and purchased new, as i said. Still same issue, so i gave it back

[@Britec09]

You might of bricked your motherboard. Did you get confirmation saying the BIOS update successfully?

Hi Brian - This has to be one of the very best and most useful videos that you have given us. That is a huge statement given that every video you do is fantastic and really helpful. Thank-You, Stu

[@Britec09]

Glad you enjoy the content

[@colinrance5823]

Excellent video thanks for making it, now I know what to do if I have this problem. Wish there was some software to do this automatically. Thanks again Brian.

[@Britec09]

Glad it helped

[@Tw3akst3r]

Just image the system with Macrium Reflect, Acronis, etc. Then you don't have to remember commands and the entire system is always backed up, and you can pull individual files if accidentally deleted and such. If you haven't made Windows create the registry back up this method isn't an option anyway so it isn't like it is an ideal solution for any non-bootable system.

[@spua7576]

Did not work for me at all when I turn on my computer it always said your device has ran into a problem and needs to resta reset then after that it says automatic repair and I can get get in to desktop

[@adambrush5445]

I got as far as dir on RegBack but I don't have the list of files like you did. What do I do?

[@wally6193]

Hi Britec, do you have any fix for a laptop that continuously is Fixing (C):? It goes through to stage 2 then says(after days) didn't restart. Okay so restart it then it goes right back to Fixing C and repeats. It's been doing this for about a week now and it hasn't fixed itself. I think this all started after a windows 10 update. Thanks.

Good ole regback. Good video,

[@Britec09]

Thanks 👍

[@leonidassavvides]

Every when the referred registry files changed by Windows 11 or 10 during normal usage? Can backup them manually and restore them to recover system boot or better backup automatically like your prior video? Have to be as recent as possible and non corrupt?

[@Britec09]

Registry will be backed up every 10 days

[@leonidassavvides]

@@Britec09 if having Registry files backup of 1 or 3 months ago... manually backup, not having setup auto backup, then PC fails due this corruption, is any danger manually backup Not enough to restore OS, and needed newer backup registry files???

[@OakBlox]

why does my computer show the asus logo and the spinning dots rather then the windows logo and the spinning dots on the bootloader?

Have a doubt if we do this will the data like download and desktop be deleted or not. If not than a big relief

[@FarHaN9]

Sir my pc takes too long to post it is pre built pc dell optiplex 9020 can you tell me the solution

[@Britec09]

With all PC problems that can be just about anything. Very hard to diagnose something like I can't see and give you the correct answer in the comments. Not that simple and I'm afraid

[@Britec09]

Glad you liked it

[@Neelfy01]

Hi Brian followed steps in your last video and created the regkey and files are created in the RegBack folder but when right clicking on the task to run it doesn't do anything. Just stays as "Ready". Any ideas? Cheers.

[@Britec09]

Check to make sure its set up right, it should work

[@Neelfy01]

@@Britec09 Started from scratch again checked, I've done everything right but still no joy. The task refuses to run. Something in my system seems to be stopping ithe task from running. Maybe Bitdefender or something, dunno. Oh well cheers anyway Brian, I'll let you know if I figure it out. 👍

you will be copy and pasting manually and not using command prompt

[@shaaficicabdullaahi7620]

Excellent stuff Brian as usual. if I had a restore point created for my pc and my files got corrupted as you mentioned will the restore system help or do I need to do a regback?

[@Britec09]

System restore can save you sometimes, but there is a possibility that it also fails during the restore process and this can leave you in limbo where it can't roll back and it can't go forward back to the original state. I've seen this happen many times and you will then have to do a full installation of Windows

i have a windows 8.1 computer that did this but it only gave three options and since i had no idea what i was doing i think i tried them all three but nothing changed.after trying those three it now just goes from diagnosing to reboot over and over again without the options appearing.i had left the comp on the night before then when i went to use it the next day something had rebooted it and when i logged on thats what i got

[@Britec09]

You can only use this method if you have a full backup inside your wrench back folder that has data on them. If they show zeros then there's no data on those registry hives

@@Britec09 Appreciate all your tips etc. Always welcome. I hate to think how much of my life I have wasted sorting out MS issues which have impacted by business and taken me away from earning an income. Things like file sharing and networking stopping. Why take away reg backups??? this has been around since loading 21 floppy drives. I owe you a beer next time I am in the UK. Hope other YT subs feel the same.

[@mamdouh-Tawadros]

Thank you for the video. I am thinking , if we have reached that level of complexity, it is easier to do a fresh install.

[@Britec09]

Pretty straightforward really. If you've used command prompt before it's not for everyone. Hence why system restore is a lot easier but there's no guarantee that it's going to work. Also, you can end up restoring viruses back onto your system if it was some sort of virus infection that you've had previously
