I just installed new ram, mobo and a cpu. Now it just keeps booting back into bios. I tried enabling XMP at first, then cleared cmos since it took so long to go back to the bios, but it does go back after a while.
Also the boot priority shows my hhd, but not my ssd, but my OS is on the ssd. (there’s no ssd option)
golden crystal
It is
golden crystal
2.5, the connections are good as well.
glacial totem
try to use a different sata port for the ssd

It’s generally recommended to reinstall windows when switching motherboards
glacial totem
if your switching to another platform like from intel to the king amd then you need to reinstall

Although jayztwocents made a video showing “how easy it is to move drives between systems”, but I doubt it’s that easy, he just got lucky
glacial totem
i move drives for just testing that a system boots but never use a disk from another system long term
golden crystal
Moved from AM4 to AM5, so 🤷♀️🤷♀️
glacial totem
PGA to LGA so deff a yupp
golden crystal
Getting debug lights from mobo now.
Already tried cmos, might have to remove the cpu fans to access the ram then 🫤
golden crystal
it booted into bios….
golden crystal
am5 can take up to 3m+ for dram
seems so yeah
glacial totem
am5 is well known for that mine normaly takes 3m+
golden crystal
and into the bios again 🥲🥲
glacial totem
can you send some pics of the pc and drives?
golden crystal
As in the cables and specs?
glacial totem
pictures with a phone
golden crystal
Any specific points exactly? Like cables
glacial totem
and the drive
glacial totem
try to change both the cables from the HDD to the SSD
and also consider getting a big upgrade by getting a nvme ssd
golden crystal
Honestly haven’t had any issues with the speed, but might as well soon.
glacial totem
if its ded then it will be pretty soon
from HDD to SSD is masive and to nvme is pretty big but nothing like HDD to SSD but nvme is still good to go for with a modern pc
golden crystal
Still boots into bios, used a completely new cable
glacial totem
migh be a dead ssd
glacial totem
have you changed boot order?
golden crystal
glacial totem
gimi a sec i think i have a msi mobo so i can guide you trough some stuff
just try to boot and change the boot order
golden crystal
As in from the bios right now?
And the other options are: CD/DVD”, “USB Hard Disk”, “USB CD/DVD”, “USB Key”, “USB Floppy” and “Network”.
Which are not right 😵💫
glacial totem
just try and boot
golden crystal
Back into bios, changed the first one to the second, if that’s what you meant
glacial totem
ye
golden crystal
It booted into the bios again
golden crystal
I’ll try clearing cmos once again

When I sometimes boot now, this pops up:
“Press «Del» to run BIOS setup, or «F11> to run boot menu Press «Ctri+F5> to activate M-Flash for BIOS update”
I spammed F11, but the bios still came up….
Nevermind, connecting the keyboard is smart
But nothing much changed, a menu popped up which wants me to set up the bios or something
rancid latch
What does the boot menu show
rancid latch
Did you have more than one drive before, and remove one of them now?
rancid latch
Fucking windows. When you have 2 drives, it’ll install the EFI partition (I think that’s the boot loader) onto whatever drive is labeled “drive 0” by the motherboard regardless of which you select to install to.
This causes both drives to be present for the install to boot
golden crystal
So what should I do in this situation?
Since I currently only had the OS drive installed, now trying it with both
But now with both drives installed, the menu looks the same…
HOLY FUCK
Changed from UEFI-CSM
or whatever it was
Which it was at the start, but still didn’t want to boot 😃😃
Appreciate you both though! 🫶
rancid latch
Changed from UEFI-CSM
You enabled csm?
golden crystal
It's on CSM now, yeah.
