Troubleshooting a Booting Issue: My PC Stuck After the Pegador Logo

Has your PC ever refused to boot, leaving you staring at the screen after the Pegador logo? If you’ve encountered a similar situation, you’re not alone. Many users face frustrating booting problems, and knowing where to start can often feel overwhelming.

Recently, I found myself in a predicament when my computer stalled shortly after displaying the Pegador logo. Despite multiple attempts to start it, the system persisted in showing a black screen with only a loading mouse cursor. After spending nearly 45 minutes troubleshooting—resetting the BIOS to its default settings and even removing the BIOS battery—all efforts proved futile.

If you’re experiencing the same issue, you might be seeking solutions or tips to resolve this troublesome scenario. Here are some steps that could potentially help you get your computer up and running again:

  1. Check Peripheral Devices: Sometimes, external devices such as printers, USB drives, or external drives can cause booting issues. Disconnect all peripherals and try restarting your PC.

  2. Boot into Safe Mode: If possible, try to boot your computer in Safe Mode. This mode loads a limited set of drivers and can sometimes help you access the system for further troubleshooting.

  3. Inspect Hardware Components: Open up your computer case to ensure all components, including RAM and graphics cards, are properly seated. Loose connections can lead to boot problems.

  4. Conduct a Power Cycle: Turn off your PC, unplug it from the power source, and hold down the power button for about 15 seconds. This can help release any residual power and reset components.

  5. Use Recovery Media: If you have recovery media available—such as a Windows installation USB or DVD—try booting from it. This can help you repair your operating system or access recovery options.

  1. Hi there,

    Based on your description, it seems your PC is encountering a persistent boot issue after the Pegador logo appears. Here are some additional troubleshooting steps you can try:

    • Try Booting in Safe Mode: If possible, attempt to start Windows in Safe Mode. You can do this by interrupting the normal boot process three times consecutively (e.g., powering off during startup). This might trigger Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), where you can select “Troubleshoot” > “Advanced options” > “Startup Settings” > “Restart,” then select Safe Mode.
    • Check for Faulty Hardware: Since you’ve already reseated components, consider testing your RAM and storage devices individually if you have spares or using testing tools like MemTest86 for RAM or the manufacturer’s diagnostics for your HDD/SSD.
    • Reset BIOS/UEFI Settings: You’ve reset BIOS, but ensure that your boot order is correct and that no settings are preventing startup. You might also try resetting BIOS via jumper on the motherboard if removing the battery didn’t work.
    • Use Recovery Media: Boot from a Windows installation USB or recovery drive. From there, you can attempt to repair startup problems using options like “Startup Repair,” which can fix issues preventing Windows from loading.
    • Review the Event Viewer or Boot Logs
