Boot problem and random restarting

[DGuiver]

on boot, computer say it can not find my solid state hard drive and boot software. Have to turn on and off several times to boot. Also a blue screen with error message randomly comes up and restart my computer

Win10 has enabled a new hibernation process known as Fast Startup -- which is enabled BY DEFAULT. This is different from Fast Boot, which is a BIOS/UEFI option.

Fast Startup is supposed to dramatically speed up the booting process, but in some PCs, it actually slows it down or causes it to hang. It's also a new form of hibernation known as hybrid sleep -- and this causes battery drain to maintain the state of the PC while turned off.

Disabling Fast Startup might fix the booting problem.

There are two ways to disable FastStartup in Win10: (1) through the Control Panel, and (2) through an elevated command prompt.

Control Panel - Open Control Panel --> Power Options.
Select "Choose what the power buttons do"
Select "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
At the bottom of the Window, under Shutdown settings, uncheck the box regarding fast startup

Elevated command prompt - run the following command:
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /V HiberbootEnabled /T REG_dWORD /D 0 /F

In both cases, reboot Windows.

NOW, FastStartup is disabled.

See if that helps.

Thank you.  Made that change and it seems to have helped.

Any idea what might be causing the Blue screen that pops up saying there is a error it is checking out and will restart the computer.  It also has a square that it says scan with phone for more details.  However it only stays up for a couple of seconds and there is no way to scan it.  I have tried emptying the Windows Temp file and running the disk clean up and that seems to help some.

Blue screens are notoriously difficult to debug -- far beyond what we can do from here.

Sorry, have no idea.
