Windows is taking 30-60+ minutes to boot.
Wouldn't boot into safe mode (although I did not give it 30 minutes, it may have).
Turned off my overclock, XMP, same result. Overclock was nothing crazy, just 5.6Ghz P-core 4.5 Ghz E-core 5.0Ghz ring on a 13700k. I considered the possibility of having fried my CPU but I haven't even reached 80 degrees C during benchmarks and had it undervolted with Vcore showing 1.360v and VID 1.413v.
Did automatic startup repair both from the boot drive and from a windows install USB, sometimes it says it repaired things, sometimes it says "couldn't repair." Same result.
Went into command prompt using recovery tool and input some commands using DISKPART among others to try to repair the boot files, same results.
This morning after leaving computer running all night it was loaded into windows just fine; everything seems normal.
I'm afraid to turn off/restart the PC now for fear of it being inoperable during excessive boot timeframes.
I have read a few folks on here mention they corrupted their BIOS while working on establishing a stable overclock, should I reflash BIOS to be safe?
My options are to deal with it and rarely turn off pc, reinstall windows, or reflash bios.
Any ideas or input?
Thoughts are appreciated.
