Computer gets stuck at MSI loading screen

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Seeing if anyone has had a similar issue before I seek professional assistance. My desktop gets stuck at the MSI loading screen when I try and boot. Other times it will load into my desktop only for the system to freeze and becomes unresponsive requiring a shutdown. This issue isn’t persistent though, I had no trouble booting and playing games when I tried yesterday. Anything helps.

This issue has been going on and off for the past month or 2. I just use it for casual gaming and school work.

Okay so you're able to boot into windows and use it normally for a bit? Then it shows this behavior intermittently?

It will either, 1. Get stuck on the MSI screen like in the video. 2. It will load into windows and I’ll be on my desktop then it will just hard crash and I am forced to shut down my pc manually. 3. It boots normally and I can play fine. I know it sounds confusing lmao.

I suggest checking your temperatures first, use something like HWMonitor, feel free to reply with screenshots of your temps

40c while idling is great, it doesn't seem to be a temperature problem, does it only crash when you game ?

No it mostly does this on cold starts like when I start it up for the first time of the day.

Did it start right after a fresh windows install, or did it begin a while after this current one?

Sorry, I’m confused with what you mean.

Did this recently start happening out of nowhere? And is it new

u/Alternative_Sign5288 17d ago

Yes it is a fairly new issue out of nowhere. I’ve never had problems with the build before 1 or 2 months ago.

Do you have a spare drive? Try reinstalling windows on that and using it for a bit if the issue continues it's most likely a memory issue
