July 6, 2025Jul 6 Yesterday, for the first time ever, I started to experience the BSOD on starting my PC (specifications below signature). I looked on Internet and found a couple of suggestions like "Windows+CTRL+MAJ+B", "Windows+P", "CRTL+ALT+DELETE", and I could - on two occasions after unplugging all my USB items from the PC - revive my screen, I then updated my video driver to the latest, as well as any remaining Windows updates along with optional drivers updates, after which my PC restarted normally twice after the above. However, this morning, I am back again with a black screen upon starting my PC. I wonder what else I should be doing to eliminate this problem for good. Could anybody please shed light on this, this would be highly appreciated! Thank you. Bernard CPU = 12900K / GPU = Nvidia 3090 VRAM 24 GB / RAM = 64 GB / SSD = 2 TB 980 PRO PCle 4.0 NVMe™ M.2,

July 6, 2025Jul 6 Not an expert, far from being one, but it seems to me you have a hardware instead of a software issue. Try to seek help from a qualified computer technician in your locality.

July 6, 2025Jul 6 Author The reason was my CMOS battery being too old (3 years). I suspected this when I realised that upon each opening of the BIOS screen, the time was back to 0 in spite of my savings multiple times. Problem solved. Thanks to all.
