So I understand this clearly, when you restart the PC from either running OS, by selecting a Restart in either OS, that is the situation where the PC is unable to function and start normally?
You said this happens most of the time, but not every time, right?
If you shutdown an OS, does the PC shutdown fine, and then start fine the next time you press the power button?
Semi-random, or seemingly random issues like this are the most difficult to identify.
You said this happens with both Windows 10 and Linux. So you have a dual-booting installation on your SSD?
It sounds like there may be a problem with the PC "knowing" which OS or boot partition to use on a restart.
How do you select either OS to boot on your PC?
Have you tried clearing the UEFI/BIOS, with the jumper on your board?
You don't notice any difference in the restarts, if you restart from Win 10 or Linux?
Windows 10 has been updating quite a bit the last few weeks, your PC should not be immune to that.
Did you try disabling the Windows 10 fast startup feature?

Many times (almost always but not all) at reboot, after O.S. succesfully terminates, board gets hang, screen black, fans fixed at the speed it where, and unresponsive keyboard (lit but no response to any key). Solution is 4-second hard-reset. Then restarts without a problem. Workaround is always shutdown or suspend but never reboot. It started doing this about a week ago, it worked fine before. My system is stock, not overclocked i7-6700K with NVidia 1060 3GB and 2x8GB 2600 SDRAM. 2 SATA disks, 240GB SSD and 2TB mech. Not other hard but miniPCI-e stock wifi It fails the same with Windows 10 and Linux 4.4.0-last. I've rEFInd UEFI boot manager on Windows EFI partition and is checked ok. Please, I pray for support as is the only kirk of the system. Thank you in advance. Edit: BIOS 2.60. it was 1.10 when new |
