Just started today. Was able to let it automatic repair and boot up. Was on for like 10 hours, shut down and tried to boot up some hours later. Now its completely stuck on automatic repair. Have unplugged all additional hdd’s and then all unnesscarry USB’s. Still doing this. Also removed my ethernet card. Still the same.

I cannot lose my data. I have several SSD’s and HDD’s with important files across several of them.

    Do you have a separate GPU installed and does your CPU/motherboard have a built-in GPU? If so may as well try unplugging the GPU, plugging your monitor into the motherboard video port, and see if the system boots up. (this is just in case it’s actually some GPU issue)

    Otherwise, maybe a long shot - How old is your computer? You mentioned Windows 10 which makes me think it’s possibly on the old side… if something like 8-10+ years old it could be that the battery on the motherboard needs to be replaced and your entire system is acting up during reboots (this is especially obvious if there’s any power outages). Try doing a BIOS reset - if there’s a button on the motherboard to do that you should be able to press it, otherwise just take the motherboard battery out, unplug from power for something like 30 seconds, then plug power/battery back in and try a boot up. That could get you to at least boot up past the BIOS and you may want to consider buying a new battery to install into the motherboard. … I don’t know if Windows 10 itself would start after all this but at least you can find out if the hardware is still okay.

      I dont think mine has integrated graphics. Its a rog hero crosshair viiii.

      5 years old this June. Built it myself. No issues i couldn’t solve or handle on my own until now.

      We DID have the power shut off a week or so ago… my PC may have been on during that time. I honestly dont remember.

      Could that be the culprit? Why was it fine for almost a whole week?

    Driver PNP is most commonly a gpu drover issue. If your CPU has an integrated GPU you can pull your discrete one and boot off that. If that works you can use DDU to remove the old disaply driver and then you can grab fresh ones from online.

    Does safe mode work? It should.

    I think its unlikly a uefi issue stopcode is: driver pnp watchdog

    A driver was unable to load.

    Most likely gpu. When in safe mode use DDU to clean out all gpu drivers. Then try reboot.

      I can’t even boot into safe mode. 😩 I already have the usb with the windows crap as well as the latest Nvidia driver (which was released today!!)

      This is not a TPM encryption issue, if it were you would be prompted for a recovery key instead of a standard BSOD. I would assume failing HHD/SSD/NVME boot drive or driver conflict. You can try launching into safe mode which will give you a chance to copy your data. If that fails, installing Windows into a new, empty drive or a Linux live environment may be another viable option to you.

      Get yourself a small 2 bay NAS in mirror mode and get your data backed up.

    The way the pic cuts of restart to ‘rest,’ combined with the ‘PNP’ error had me thinking this was a joke for a minute. PnP can also refer to party n play , ie sex on meth…

    So it kind of sounds like your computer was saying its been going to long and needa a break.

    Switch to Linux!

    Seriously though, if it boots, update your drivers, probably your graphics card. Try downloading the latest from Nvidia or AMD or whoever makes your card. Your BIOS might have built in diagnostics too, try running them to see if anything throws an error should the driver update not do the trick.

    Edit: Thought the “seriously though” would tip people off but I guess the crowd was too dense? Oh well, comedy is hard.

        You can’t boot into safe mode then it’s not a driver issue. You might need a pre-install environment. This may be a hardware issue. It also may be a bad update to the kernel.

            Is your data encrypted? If not you can simply remove the c drive from your computer plug it into an external kit and view the contents from another computer.

            Also, if you do connect it externally and you discover that the disc has issues and it’s not just a memory problem or something, do not under any circumstances do a disc fix. I lost to drive that way, 2 TB of information just poof. So if you are able to access the drive but there is actually some issue with the drive just remove the data little by little as you can no matter how long it takes.

            Edit: I should have added, you can also use a pre-installed environment OS or an operating system on a thumb drive to access your data. Though I would say for diagnostic purposes removal of the drive to an external kit tends to be better at separating issues with the drive from issues with your actual computer.

        Use Arch btw

        Can you boot into the OS at all? If so, at the sign in page, hold the Shift Key down while you select Power > Restart.

        After your PC restarts to the Choose an Option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.

        You’ll probably want safe mode with networking unless you already downloaded the driver.

            If Windows 10 fails to load enough times, it should offer to boot you into safe mode, however, it sounds like you might actually have a failing drive: I’d recommend cloning the drive ASAP to attempt data recovery (don’t do anything else to the drive until you clone it). After that, you can try a repair, but if you have a failing drive it’s best to stop using it after you get your data.

            Good luck, I hope this helps!

              I think my motherboard has shit the bed. Its been having odd voltage irregularities for a few months now but I just chalked it up to be a custom pc built by a moron.

              I can now force the pc to boot from usb windows recovery tool but it still gets stuck on the asus logo. I leave it for an hour and it’s the same.

              My c drive is a nvme so ill need an enclosure or adapter to pull/clone the vital data…

          “Hey my cars engines is having issues”

          “Have you tried a bike?”

          Give your head a shake, it’s not good or the right advice, the only ones that want to hear it is people who want to circle jerk, doesn’t help anyone.

          People having tech issues aren’t going to need the advice, it’s only going to upset them, and show everyone else how you can’t even read since you can’t answer a simple question.

          It’s not even funny.

              Pretty sure I covered that.

              And you’re doing a fine job doing proving my point about not being able to read.

              Do you think someone frustrated from having issues, and asking for help, is going to want a lame joke instead of help? Or is that just going to further frustrate them?

              Or are you incapable of comprehending this?

            To be fair that’s not an good comparison. This comparison would be proper if someone was asking:

            Hey my computer stopped working, can you help?
            Have you tried using a calculator instead?

            The proper one would be:

            Hey my Ford stopped working, can you help?
            Have you tried using arch linux a BMW instead?

            Neither of them are helpful, but I think it works better.

    Are you drives encrypted by bitlocker ? If not you are not going to lose data even if you cannot get this install/PC to work.

    Disconnecting them was a smart move.
