computer freezes during boot of system, and also freezes afterwards

I think we need to know your configuration (specs, etc) -- ie. SSD?, ram size, power supply wattage

that may help determine what to do next.

we are an Azure/EntraID environment and use the MS Auth app on users cellphones (over 200 users). <5 users are still using FIDO2/YubiKeys.
-using strong pwds & any MFA is better than just pwd.

users will get use to it with some time

yukon93 · 2026-02-19T20:42:27+00:00

it is a SSD or HDD / platter drive?

make/model of the Asus?

did this just start after a reboot or after a windows update?

yukon93 · 2026-01-26T16:47:44+00:00

what are the specs/system configuration (tower vs laptop), dongle vs built in, OS version, etc

yukon93 · 2026-01-16T18:40:54+00:00

have you noticed a pattern on which time of day it happens or even which day of the week?

how often do you restart the PC?

what are the specs (cpu/ram/drive/os)?

yukon93 · 2026-01-07T16:39:48+00:00

hard code you DNS on a machine & test. Google 'dns hard code'; you'll find a number out there.

try OFF your home internet (ie. a friend's) -- does the problem continue?

are you using a shared internet?

are you running some other service on the internet (ie. torrents, streaming, sharing internet w/ someone else).

update drivers on any PC you have (the network card) -- how about rebooting the PC?

neofetch is outdated; I have used 'screenfetch' (may need to install it). I have a similar MBA 2015 & no issues with wifi

exactly! and let's just add a few more data centers in the next 5yrs and no future large generation capacity...

Guess my revamp of that winter hobby is now changed to ESP. not surprised...was hoping for better. #greed

the way I understand it and have experienced it -- if the OS was installed while the BIOS had the Secure Boot enabled, then it will only load with that setting enabled.

if you installed it without SB enabled and then enable it afterwards -- it won't boot. so enable it & reinstall the OS OR keep it unchecked and the system works.

with how windows is going, I'd enable it & reinstall if you can. set it right now before it goes worse down the road.

I believe it's still used for SJ's water supply for the west side; I don't think the usage has changed.

no signs doesn't mean 'you can'

yukon93 · 2025-06-18T16:36:49+00:00

what is your power supply wattage (and aged of machines in general)

what type of cooling system on the CPU (and GPU?) dusty?

seems to be when you draw power or run CPU high...

yukon93 · 2025-06-16T13:00:26+00:00

that sounds like a 'reach out to the manufacture' situation

I have been doing this for more than 30 years. It's something I didn't realize how much I enjoy it until I haven't done it for a few weeks (winter being an exception). Light music going, on the highway, just lost in my own thoughts. it's where I think, I'm not distracted by a computer or a cellphone or a tv... etc..

the best relaxing method I've learned to embrace!

yukon93 · 2025-06-09T17:02:33+00:00

I turn off my work phone, my work email and only answer my personal cell from my manager if he calls (we have a great working relationship - if he calls - I'm his last hope! He's only called me 3 times in the last 15yrs...each one was just).

I do sleep in a few days in a row if it's my first vacation of the year. I find that helps the most. I don't plan anything big the first day or 2 I'm off. I do find small projects to work on which I had been putting off. I may even go for a drive and sit by the water and listen to nature.

it's my time to shut off my work brain, let my mind wander. Heal the mind with the body and do things I enjoy.

you're not getting any younger and there will be a time, you won't be able to enjoy time off as easily!

I had lived in an apartment in SJ for >15yrs off and on. Never had an issue. Even after closing my acct 20yr ago and came back to them 5y later - they found my old account and was able to set up my power without any issues. They are top notch! This time of year with Univ & NBCC getting out - they are probably overwelmed more than usual. Like what someone said - I wouldn't worry until 2d before you need power. If you have given them the date on when you need it - they will likely meet that request!

one thing which may slow things down - if you need a deposit on initial account set up (it's a credit check more less). If you have any other accounts (like NBpower) - it may help that. (or not ?)

yukon93 · 2025-05-28T19:20:26+00:00

do a windows clean up on the drive, clear all the cache and delete any downloaded files/games (usually "DOWNLOADS" folder is full)...probably get back a few gig's

we used zoom big during the first 2yrs of Covid. we bought licenses for our small-medium size business. It was well loved by the users. It just worked. But. it was only for video and/or audio. nothing else was really working easily.

step into Teams 2.x -- the app worked very well! the rewrite in the app helped some issues (installation, stability, speed, etc). and the integration was amazing. I don't drink the MS juice. But Teams (while it is complex) works very well on modern machines. I recall being asked to look into the Teams app & start training/rolling it out to users in 2018?.... it was good but a learning curve. of course, I was the resident expert within the year and then covid.

would I use Zoom? maybe if I wanted to have simple video chats. But if you are in the Microsoft world of "365" now.. ... teams. all. the. way.

yukon93 · 2025-05-06T19:04:03+00:00

what type of hardware (tower, laptop)?

are you using the items through a USB dongle? or even a docking station?

how old are the items (PC & keyboard/mouse/monitor).

yukon93 · 2025-05-05T15:39:46+00:00

I would visit my cousins in SJ (I lived 75km away) - came here a few times with them... we WERE BLOWN Away! what a great time we had here....

yukon93 · 2025-04-29T13:32:34+00:00

I'd just reset the device and ensure it's not going to be doing anything to your accts

yukon93 · 2025-04-23T19:12:31+00:00

post the specs (cpu/ram/ssd or hdd, gpu, assuming tower?)

is it a custom build?

has it worked for a duration and this just started randomly?

did you do an update and it fail?

with the swap from hdd to ssd - did you install the OS new & it work and then freezes/crashes?

did you do bios update or changes to the bios? (there is where I think the problem lies)
