Help! My PC Is Stuck in an Endless Boot Loop After a Reset
Asked by

I recently bought this MSI desktop, and after resetting it to remove the previous owner's files, I'm now facing a major issue. The computer keeps trying to boot up but shows a stop code: Driver_Power_State_Failure, and it's trapped in a constant loop. The specs are pretty solid with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, AMD Ryzen 7 8700F processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 64-bit OS. I'm really hoping to get this PC up and running again!

I feel your pain! Unfortunately, it can be tricky to recover from that stop code. If your PC isn’t responding properly to the reset, I recommend trying to boot into Safe Mode first. That could help you troubleshoot further and potentially fix the driver issues without having to fully reinstall everything. Just press F8 or Shift + F8 during startup (though newer systems may require a different method). Good luck!

It sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle! The built-in factory reset tends to be problematic and can lead to issues like what you're experiencing. Honestly, for future reference, a clean installation of Windows is often the much safer route. It might fix the current loop you're in, but if it doesn’t, you may need to boot from a Windows installation media to repair or reinstall the system.
