  1. Huge issues after power outtage


    We had a power outtage during a winter storm. Computer lost power while idling not actively in use, but windows up and running, not in standby/sleep or screen saver etc. Extremely long startups. It tries to run a check disk and repair on D every time D being a 2tb ssd storage drive with no OS. There is no indication it is doing this until it finishes and shows the 100% complete message.When windows eventually boots it is absurdly slow and does not function correctly. File explorer cannot function. It opens but does not populate and becomes unresponsive the moment you try to move the window

  2. power issue

    Hello,

    Most of the time, this issue is caused by external devices that are possibly keeping the PC active which then results in the screen/display not turning off even after you've set the power settings. Try disconnecting any external devices, usually gaming devices,
    and check if the issue persists.

    We also suggest running the Power troubleshooter to automatically troubleshoot any power issue. Just follow the steps below:

    • Click on Search/Cortana, and then type Troubleshooting.
    • Click on Troubleshooting.
    • Click on System and Security.
    • Click on Power.

    Let us know if that worked out for you.

    Windows 10 power issue

    Hi Adithyaram,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

    I suggest you to follow the steps bellow and check if it helps

    Method 1: Hardware Troubleshoot

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with power. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Power.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Power troubleshooter


    Method 2: I suggest you to update drivers and check if that helps. If that issue persist please uninstall and reinstall latest drivers available in manufacturer website. Both Display
    driver and Audio drivers.

    • Press “Windows + X” and select Device manger.
    • Select Display Adapter and expand the driver icon.
    • Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.
    • Follow the onscreen instructions to update the driver.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help

    Huge issues after power outtage

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
