Desktop stuck in an infinite boot loop

Corrupted BIOS settings can often lead to serious startup issues, especially if your laptop is stuck in an infinite boot loop. Resetting the CMOS will clear all misconfigured settings and restore the motherboard to its default state, which can safely resolve the problem.

Step 1: Unplug the power cord from the back of the computer.

Step 2: Remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard.

Step 3: Wait 5 to 10 minutes to allow the motherboard to fully discharge.

Step 4: Hold down the power button for 30 seconds.

Step 5: Reinstall the CMOS battery correctly.

Finally, plug the power cord back in and try to start the device normally.

After performing a CMOS reset, many system conflicts will be resolved, and you should be able to successfully exit the state where your laptop is stuck in an infinite boot loop and boot into Windows normally.

Cons

• Resets all BIOS settings to their defaults.

• Requires direct access to the motherboard or CMOS battery, which may be difficult for some ultra-thin laptops or all-in-one computers.

• If performed incorrectly, it may cause further hardware issues.
