I've been having a strange issue with my PC lately. After booting up, when I enter my password, it usually loads for about 10 seconds and then just restarts. Sometimes it shows the blue screen of death about Windows not working correctly, and other times it even goes back to the BIOS screen. Interestingly, if I wait on the password screen for about two minutes before entering my password, it seems to work fine, and everything runs smoothly until I decide to restart or shut it down. I've also noticed a single beep when it boots, which is unusual since my PC is usually silent. I haven't changed any hardware or settings recently, but I did have some connection issues while gaming, so I reset my firewall and network settings. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I appreciate any help you can offer!

One way to troubleshoot this is by performing a Clean Boot. It helps identify if there's a conflict with drivers or software. If it works fine during a Clean Boot, you can gradually turn on one service or startup app at a time until the issue shows up again. Just restart after each change to check for any problems.
Thanks! I just tried the Clean Boot method and didn’t run into any issues. Before that, I also ran a disk check for my C drive. Maybe that helped too! I'm still a bit skeptical, but for now, everything is working fine.
