Why Gparted loads fail safe mode but not other?

So my disc has several appls that fail to load, yet others are fine. Specifically, for Gparted, it loads if I use fail safe mode. But on this pc (w/4GB on a GA-790XTA-UD4) it won't load normally. Did for years on other pcs, etc. It can't be ahci b/c Windows 7 and 10 load w/o issue. So there isn't any bios SATA setting that's wrong.

What causes that not loading where I get all these lines of DMI?, interrupts, ahci code? I like to find out how things work, and don't work...


Thanks,

Mac

As far as GParted and having to use "fail safe" mode --- You may be able to adjust the boot parameters to get your system to boot but often "fail safe" is just easier. This usually happens when a needed driver/module is not included in the system/Kernel or settings are not just right for your setup.

Some of the included utilities/programs are a bit dated especially with newer hardware (UEFI).

You could also try using the latest version(s) of GParted Live:

https://gparted.org/livecd.php

It has its own forum (and documents) for users.
