Please help,

I just reformatted my pc several times because even after fresh reformatted it keeps on freezing. the OS is Windows 10 home. This started freezing since after update of windows.

Then after 7 times of reformatting I decided to delete the System Reserved and the Main partition before formatting. and after that the freezing problem is solved.

But 2 problem I encountered:

1. The restart is not working properly. My monitor will turn off but my pc is still running. All fans and lights are still running. So to escape this situation I will manually press the power button for a couple of seconds until it turn off.

Note: The shutting down doesn't have a problem, only the restart.

2. If I activate the X-Boost, before it proceeds to windows, a message will appear:

Detected ATA/ATAPI Devices...

The system failed to boot several times before.

You may press F2 or DEL to enter SETUP to reconfigure your system

or UEFI will continue to boot after 9 seconds..

But if the X-boost is OFF. This message will NOT appear.

PLEASE HELP ME... :(

I cannot find solutions over the internet, and I even contact (chat) Microsoft they can't resolve either, they told me that they will pass me to their level 2 team technician. But I am afraid of might something it will happen that can cause severe damage. That's why I did not allowed their level 2 team to fix the issue.

My pc is running smoothly now and only the restarting issue I get annoyed.

What I did is avoid the restart, if I want to restart my pc, I will shutdown first, then turn on.

I disabled the Windows Automatic Update

My CPU is Corsair 600watts 80bronze

my assembled CPU is 3 years old already and this is the 1st time that my pc broken. since the last automatic update of windows10.

Please understand you have an unusual problem and we have very little information about the things that happened before the problem started. We have rarely had problems like this in the forum, and do not have a simple fix for it.

You said you have an ASRock 970 Extreme mother board. There are THREE ASRock 970 Extreme mother boards:

970 Extreme4: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme4/index.asp

970 Extreme3 R2.0: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3%20R2.0/index.asp

970 Extreme3: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/index.asp

So we still do not know which mother board you are using. After checking each of these boards, it seems you have the 970 Extreme3 R2.0. Is that right?

I think English is not your native language, so you might have some trouble writing what is happening. Let's look at what you wrote in your first post:

1. The restart is not working properly. My monitor will turn off but my pc is still running. All fans and lights are still running. So to escape this situation I will manually press the power button for a couple of seconds until it turn off.

Note: The shutting down doesn't have a problem, only the restart.

A restart is when you are using Windows, and want to start the PC over again, and go back into Windows, and the PC will still be running. You said you press the power button to turn off the PC, but a restart does not turn off a PC. We are confused about what is happening here, it does not make sense, sorry to say. You will need to explain this better.
