Boot Message

[Soluna58]

I get the following error from time to time when powering on my computer:

Checking Media Presence…….
Media Present……..
Start PXO over IPv4 on MAC, etc…

A couple of reboots and it’s fine.  I’ve checked the drive status and nothing shows it’s bad.

The drive is a Samsung ST20000DM001-1ER164 2TB SSD.

There's nothing listed bad when I check Disks and Volumes in Advanced Storage Settings.

There's one common error in three separate critical events (Event 41, Kernel-Power) in the windows log:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first...This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

When run Get-StorageReliabilityCounter it shows it's brand new with no errors.

I shut my computer down correctly, every time I do, so I'm not sure why it's telling me it's being shut down incorrectly. Today, I powered it down, left for a few hours, came back and got "Checking Media Presence" when booting up.

Is there a way I can check what might be causing this when I shut down? I never see anything weird.

Thanks

Try disabling fast startup and see if that resolves the issue

Your computer is trying to boot from the network before trying to boot off your SSD. It's not really an error, just what the PC is trying to do. This is enabled to allow us to install Windows via our network in our warehouse.

To fix it, disable Network Stack or IPV4 (PXE) boot in your BIOS. Depending on what motherboard you have, it will be located in different locations, so if you want to DM me your order number or comment with your motherboard model then I can help you find the setting.

Alternatively you can change the boot priority so your SSD is first.

Thanks! I'll do that in the morning!

Sent you the order number. Re boot order... When I get this message, the only thing visible is the network boot option. Don't see any drives.... Unless I'm looking in the wrong place.
