It took switching from Windows to Linux to figure out why my PC had issues booting sometimes. In Windows, it would just spin a little circle forever until I rebooted. After installing Linux and getting actual error messages, I learned that my SATA AHCI controller wasn't always working at boot and was fixed by plugging my HDD into a different port. The problem could have been fixed so much earlier had Windows just told me what was wrong.
