Windows XP. 7, 8 ,8.1 10, the 32-bit (x86) versions of these do not permit addressing of physical memory above the 4 GB address boundary.
The last thing it would be is a heat problem when the second boots loads kernel, remember he said only first boot. The last thing because, if the CPU hits BIOS/UEFI default temp from POST, BIOS running, it would never allow the second boot to get past loading kernel.
Kokosmann, it's very strange because I tried Windows 10 x64 on 3 different laptops and the same thing happened to all of them. It does not appear to happen on Windows 10 x86 so it seems to be an x64 only issue.
Yes Odiebugs1, the second boot always worked but I wasn't comfortable with my hard drive shutting off after 2 seconds every time I turned the laptop on so I'm glad it's fixed now. The hard drive would have crapped out eventually, lol.
It does at times. When the temperature decreases it can pass a second boot - if the first boot took so long trying to boot up and shutdown. I am glad he's able to find a better solution.
Might have jumped the gun, as we don't know if the CPU spiked during a frozen boot, how long it was, or the time to reboot. I assumed that they directly rebooted, which means the CPU would be hotter than from the cold boot, so it would have hit default temp more than from first. I'll need to take more time in considering a scenario next time.
If have just installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 on my desktop and the problem is also there, so it doesn't seem to be laptop related! Enterprise x64 still crashes every second boot up. I disabled hybrid boot and now it is all back to normal. Didn't have any problems with Windows 8.1 x64.
Me too, I had installed Win10 x64 Pro and my desktop have this problem, so soon windows 10 logo show the computer reboot, my machines have this specs: - ASUS P5Q 2209m, Core2Duo E8400 3.00GHz, RAM CORSAIR VS2GB800D2-G 4x2GB, HDD 1x160GB (OS) + 5x1TB, GFX XFX Radeon HD7770 1GB GDDR5, MONITOR LG W2486L, CREATIVE SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY 4. - DELL INSPIRON 530s, Core2Duo E7600 3.06GHz, RAM KINGSTON 4x2GB, HDD 1x500GB (OSX) + 1x500GB, GFX EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB, MONITOR LG W2486L, CREATIVE SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY 4. Then I decided back to Win7 x64 my DELL INSPIRON 530s. I have other computer with Win10 x64 Pro and this specs: MSI G41M-P33, Core2Duo E7500 2.93GHz, RAM CORSAIR VS2GB800D2-G 2x2GB, HDD 1x500GB (OS) + 3x500GB, GFX XFX Radeon HD4670 1GB. This is working all OK
I had complete shutdown too. In my case the next boot will be fine always. Tried the option to restore win 10 (refresh), still shutdown at boot. After a clean install, didnt saw the problem anymore. But I think it's a w10 bug that triggers under certain circumstances.
Ok, so many users are experiencing this issue. As I always use clean installs, I can confirm that it has nothing to do with a fresh install of Windows 10 or a previous update.
Hybrid boot - aka fast start, does not play nice with older hardware. That is the first thing I disable while troubleshooting issues like this. My desktop PC wouldn't get past the boot screen on cold start. Pressing the reset button would allow it to boot just fine. Disabling fast start fixed that.
Actually, my hardware is not really that old and it just worked fine with Windows 8.1 without any issues at all. I have an i5-2500k, GTX 650 Ti and a Gigabyte G1.Sniper 2 Motherboard. Considering it worked before, I did not expect any issues with that.
My hardware is haswell gen, always latest bios. Never experienced this kind of shutdown on 2 years of win 7. btw, my motherboard is gigabyte too...
It's to bad the last update was F5 in 2012, I would have said the same exact thing. But I bet he's on F5.
