Hello,
Ever since I did the fall update on my desktop, I would get frozen bars on startup. This forces me to reboot my computer. Any help would be great!
What do you mean by bars?
When windows boots up little balls show show up on bootupe
Force power off wait 60 seconds and restart again and let it do a auto repair by the way are you running 2 or more hds? That's a factor
The suggestion of running an auto repair as stated by AcuraTML is a good idea, if that fails however:
1) Are you booting from a HDD or an SSD?
2) Have you tried going into the BIOS and navigating the menus? Literally just browse the menus, don't change anything and see if it crashes?
I have two HDD's. One is running Linux
Attempt booting into linux, does it work?
Yes, it does
It sounds a lot like the issue is that the update didn't install correctly and has possibly corrupted Windows, are you able to access you files on your Windows HDD from Linux?
Yes
