I’m getting this error screen when trying to boot, any potential fixes? I’ve ordered new motherboard battery to see if that fixes but happy to anything in the meantime.
#Error Screen On Boot

It’s like you have no windows partition
Do you have windows installed on one of the drives?
tepid shard
Do you have windows installed on one of the drives?
Yeah, on the 2TB drive
Was working fine

Have you done a CMOS reset?
tepid shard
Have you done a CMOS reset?
Not yet, but just to confirm, is that pressing the little CMOS button on the back of the PC?
lilac escarp
No that's the battery on the mobo
But that button does the same thing
just when you do that it will normally shows you that screen
tepid shard
Ah ok, I haven’t done anything, it was working perfectly fine & when I turned it on last night that screen popped up.
Couldn’t get past it.

Try going to the bios and hit F10
tepid shard
I tried that on boot before this screen - just doesn’t let you
lilac escarp
Sounds like your windows has died ngl cause you drives are showing
tepid shard
Shows the ASUS splash screen & to hit DEL to enter BIOS - which always works - and when you press nothing - then goes to this screen.
tepid shard
Sounds like your windows has died ngl cause you drives are showing
What’s the fix ?
lilac escarp
hit f1 like it says and see if that gets you to the bios
lilac escarp
try unplugging all of your USBs cause it says you have 2 of everything
tepid shard
Ok, I’ll try that, I’ve got a wired keyboard coming today just in case - I’ll update later today 🙏✨
lilac escarp
Really strange though cause it doesn't point to hardware
tepid shard
Yeah, in all my years never saw that screen but I’ll try the battery swap & also the wired keyboard after unplugging everything
I just don’t want to lose the data on the drive 😥
lilac escarp
Battery swap wont do anything
that will just reset your bios which it has already done
tepid shard
Ah ok, then the keyboard would be my last hope, if I can get into the bios what’s next steps?
tepid shard
See the Kingston USB already has an installion of windows so it should be picking that up
Thank you 🙏✨

maybe select boot drive and stear it in the right way
tepid shard
maybe select boot drive and stear it in the right way
I usually can when I get into the BIOS
But at the moment it’s stuck on this screen
So will try F1 on a wired Keyboard
stoic reef
what keyboard you got wireless?
lilac escarp
what keyboard you got wireless?
I think so maybe the driver has messed up and that's why you have no imput
stoic reef
could be the boot parition is corrupt and just cant find it anymore
tepid shard
what keyboard you got wireless?
Yeah atm
tepid shard
could be the boot parition is corrupt and just cant find it anymore
Weird it was working perfectly
Did nothing really, no updates or anything crazy, just got home last night, went to boot the pc and that happened o_O
tepid shard
I think so maybe the driver has messed up and that's why you have no imput
Yeah I think the driver or something isn’t registering it so keyboard just isn’t communicating.
Will try it soon
tepid shard
Plugged in Keyboard
F1 and it rebooted into windows
Had to sign in account
Set a new password/pin
Then let me in
I guess it was an update that broke it
But now all is working well
🙏✨
