Hi,

When I start my PC, I can see the Windows 10 small logo at the center, but PC never enters Windows, display remains black and I need to hard reboot it. This happens almost 1 out 2 times I start my PC!! Everything else works fine with rare lockups.

Samsung 970 EVO
Samsung 960 EVO
EVGA 2070 Super (was happening also with 1070)

Any ideas?

Thx

No it is display port. Do you think its the graphics card?

Is it possible to start each service one by one and see if something in startup is causing the issue?
