Update: I took all of my storage drives out of the case and connected them directly to the SATA cables on the MOBO and connected each to SATA power cables from my PSU. Doing this, I was able to get all of my drives recognized by the BIOS and boot to windows quickly and all worked great. When I...

So actually, given that I couldnt get the drives spinning on power up, the other day i tried disconnecting the SATA power cable from the hot swap board, and connected the SATA adapter I bought to the hot swap board, powering the board from a wall outlet (which isnt a great idea but I had to...

So since I got the I do have boot set to UEFI, but I believe I have Launch CSM ENABLED. Thats how it always was before when everything was working, but I will try disabling that this afternoon.

Update: I ordered a powered SATA 3 to USB adapter so that I could plug my two hard disk drives into my computer as an external hard drive, and both HDDs opened up and read perfectly fine. So its not a hardware issue with my HDDs. That leaves only two options as I see it. 1. There is a BIOS...

I have gotten my pc to boot consistently (at least for the last couple of hours). Only Drive I have connected at this time is my M.2. Ran CHDSK which has found no errors, here are the results of my scans. If there is something I should search for in the log file of my sfc scan I am happy to...

Yup, tried both, no luck

TTT

I have disconnected all drives and booted off the M.2 that my OS is on. But i have not pulled that off the MOBO and tried booting from a USB

I did make sure fast boot didnt suddenly enable itself somehow. It is disabled. Also checked for a bios firmware update, as well as all my disks and they are all up to date

Windows 10 and up to date. For the last week, I hit the power button on my pc and it wont boost past the spinning circles on my BIOS splash screen. My OS is on my NVME m.2 card on my mobo. If I shut the power off, and disconnect my hot swap SATA drives (2) HDDs, (1) SDD then turn it back on...

sfc/scannow cleaned some stuff up but did not fix the issue.. I will try and run DDU next and report back

The only thing I can think of that possibly could have caused this, is I put a program directly into the windows startup folder hoping i could get it to open on startup correctly. I couldnt, and deleted it out of the folder after about a week. Perhaps that could be causing the error somehow?

Update: today turned on my pc, it booted up and about 2 minutes later I got the blue screen saying "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart." The stop code was "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION". I forgot to mention that I have gotten this a few times over the last month as well. Only within...

Didnt have any suspicion of a drive, though it could be I suppose. My OS is on a Samsung 980 Pro NVME SSD gen 4 installed about 8 months ago. Though I have 2 HDDs and 1 M4 Crucial SSD that is 12 years old. I pulled that out yesterday and will see if there are any differences. After you...

Preface: I'm sadly reaching an age where I have less desire to fix this stuff on my own for hours to prove that I don't need help :( For the last month, when I boot up my pc (I have the latest version on Windows 10), windows will startup, but when I move my mouse it will freeze every few...
