Running any script freezes computer
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2022 5:13 pm
I was having problems running any script on my machine so I bought a new Motherboard, processor and memory which cured a lot of the problems I was having, however I now have a big one to replace those others.
Booting into BootItUI and just selecting and booting an OS from the Boot Menu works perfectly but the problems start if I do anything with scripting. If after booting into BootItUI I go into Maintenance mode and select Scripting without actually doing anything with it except opening it and shutting it down I get the problem. Alternatively if I try running any script directly, even those that came with BootITUI, then the script runs perfectly but when it completes and I drop back into Maintenance mode and click on Resume the problem appears.
After being in Maintenance Mode and click Resume to go into Boot Mode the Boot Menu appears as normal BUT selecting any of the boot options and clicking to start that OS is when the trouble starts.
I can select and click any OS to boot and it clears the screen and starts to boot the OS as normal then the machine simply freezes and the only way out is to do a physical reset of the computer with the reset button or turning the power off at the wall switch. For example suppose I selected Windows 10 to boot, the screen clears then the windows 10 loading logo appears but then the machine freezes and will not respond to anything I do except a physical reset.
This only happens if I run scripting from the Maintenance desktop or run any TBS script whilst in Maintenance. All other functions, Settings, Partition Work, Boot Edit, Disk Imaging etc work fine with no problems.
I have a feeling that I may be missing something somewhere but don’t have a clue what it is, do you have any ideas I can try please?
