did you finish setting up your bios to allow it to boot desktop?

past harness
What do you mean
sharp tundra
dont quote me on this, but im pretty sure after you set up your bios you have to press like a "save" button, and then it will boot you into desktop, then it should boot you into desktop every time you start up your pc
past harness
Yes I did that but it would just loop me back to bios again
Somebody told me here that I had to put my old motherboard and uninstall something’s driver wise
sharp tundra
i dont think so, but i could be wrong
did you make sure all youre hardware is plugged in properly?
past harness
It makes sense but I’m still pretty new to this
I pulled my old motherboard back in and it booted fine
sharp tundra
is your new mobo in currently?
muted patio
What's the old board?
past harness
The old board is in now
muted patio
i know, what is it. model number
past harness
It’s a b450 tomahawk max is the one currently
muted patio
And everything works fine
sharp tundra
put in the new board
muted patio
NO
past harness
Yes
muted patio
wait
past harness
It’s working fine
muted patio
yes
it should
One of two things: EIther Windows was installed in Legacy mode
Or the old drivers wouldn't let Windows boot
I was the one that told you to put the old board back in
past harness
They are both Msi boards
muted patio
Yes
sharp tundra
if you put the new board in, load into the bios and disable fast boot and set your drive as your booting device
muted patio
Different chipsets though
-_-
They already did that, didn't work
WIndows doesn't always play nice just throwing in a new board and booting
sharp tundra
whats your new board chipset?
past harness
I’m lost who do I listen to lmao
sharp tundra
both, whats the chipset of the new board
sharp tundra
whats your cpu?
past harness
R7 3700x I believe
sharp tundra
alright so your cpu is compatible with your board, so that isnt the problem
past harness
Yea
muted patio
Compatibility has nothing to do with it. Windows black screened on boot
past harness
Lmao
sharp tundra
you sure?
past harness
Do I leave the old board in for now
muted patio
Yes
Boot to the BIOS
Go to the boot section
In the Fixed Boot Order screen, is the #1 boot device UEFI or no?
sharp tundra
ill be honest, im not entirely sure about anything bios related, my buddy is the one who set up my bios on my computers
muted patio
It can be confusing
Especially with Windows 10
Because if the original board is set to Legacy but the new one is UEFI boot, it doesn't play nice
I'm 99% sure this is a driver issue though, just throwing in new hardware without uninstalling the old
muted patio
With the new board, it POSTS, tries to load windows and then black screens.
You are right about B550 though, no 2000 or 1000 series on those
and no 1000 series on x570
past harness
sharp tundra
why is your cpu clock so low? lol
sharp tundra
100MHz??
sharp tundra
oh...
past harness
Yes
muted patio
Download this and then boot to SAFE mode
and then run it and uninstall all the things
past harness
How to boot to safe mode
muted patio
Back to windows
Sign in and get to desktop
Once you get there, click the Windows Icon and then the power button

Sorry I don’t wana go ahead and do somthing wrong lmao
Already irritated with the damn thing
muted patio
It says GPU but it will remove all kinds of drivers
muted patio
Once it gets back to Windows, I suggest you prepare a Windows 10 installation media as backup
need an 8 GB thumbedrive
past harness
How do I do that
muted patio
Click the link
😉
Also, make sure windows 10 is tied to an email account so you don't need a key if you have to reinstall
Instructions here: https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/link-win10-product-key-to-a-microsoft-account/
After ALL of that is done, shut it down and put your new motherboard in
First thing I'd do is go into the BIOS and set all to Defaults and make sure your boot drive is the only one connected
past harness
Alright
strong bolt
should 750w psu have enough clearance for 5600x and 3070?
analog hearth
What could cause this
It actually states the cause right below the error code. I would say to make sure that all of your storage devices, I/O devices, etc. are connected properly and try to boot into Windows again
analog hearth
which GPU?

I see, integrated graphics
past harness
Please help me please I replaced my motherboard and with the new one it just constantly boots to bios I can’t go anywhere else
stoic island
Check boot order for drives
stoic island
Boot overwrite or whatever it was called
Actually, is your drive with windows on it even detected
gleaming quartz
change hard drive prioritization for windows boot manager and then change the actual boot priority
its weird but it worked for me
past harness
You lost me @gleaming quartz
gleaming quartz
what motherboard do you have so that i can get an idea of the bios layout
past harness
Yea
gleaming quartz
so in the bios settings, under the boot category, scroll down under the boot priorities until you see 'set harddrive order' something
and then from there make sure the windows boot manager has your actual boot drive instead of a faulty one
past harness
The only one I have plugged in rn is my boot
gleaming quartz
sure

yep that seems to be the case then
past harness
your a life saver if this works lmao
little osprey
best of luck
past harness
Thanks
muted patio
Uh
Make sure BIOS is set to UEFI boot like your old motherboard
That's why it's not recognizing the boot device
If it's the same drive, there's no reason it won't work
little osprey
hm
muted patio
Went through this last night
little osprey
prob should ping him
stoic island
No key would still boot, just won't be activated
muted patio
Dollars to donuts it's a CSM or UEFI issue
little osprey
@past harness
past harness
it is set to that
stoic island

They've done that
M.2 should be in the first top slot
Obviously GPU is working cuz we can get to BIOS
Weird drive issue, CSM maybe?

and then i want to wipe C: and use it for something else

so do it after the fact

Definitely don't need an m.2 for a dedicated boot drive though

Yeah I’d say just get the budget down instead

technically having a dedicated boot drive is faster
but like

That might work honestly cause this ain't
It tells me error: NTFS is inconsistent
I went into windows and repaired the drive, came back, and it throws the same error
Well that was so much more simple
Just clicked expand volume and it worked 😂
The question is I've got two more problems that I haven't the slightest idea how to deal with
As an idiot (roughly a week ago) I decided to try and run Arco Linux and somehow locked half my HDD into an EFI System Partition
yes it's a 1tb drive
I call it Big Z:
hot vortex
for reference this is what it looks like
doing some rough math it seems I have one more GB of data than I have room for on my ssd
it made me cringe inside
not from disk management
and from what I've read online, it seems to delete it you have to wipe the drive

It's a different protocol, PS/2 peripheral "interrupts", instead of just sending a signal, so it has better latency and the command is sent with higher priority than usb. Anyways, it's an older thing, but 90% of modern boards have a PS/2 port so

Do you have a bios flash USB on you?
earnest olive

earnest olive

split latch
@zealous edge i think the only usb i have is my windows 10 key
earnest olive

zealous edge
Yea
split latch
Or
earnest olive

zealous edge
You can
earnest olive
using a usb you used to install windows to update bios will be fine
split latch
So install the bios onto that and do the the flashback bios bottom
earnest olive
yeah
split latch
@earnest olive i haven’t installed windows yet

zealous edge
Yes
split latch
Okay
earnest olive
follow this guide
you really don't want to mess up a bios update
you won't need to do the usb formatting though
windows install tool should have already formatted usb to fat32
cerulean trellis
yeah if u do you have to send it back to get fixed
earnest olive
just follow steps 1-7
earnest olive
no need
zealous edge
Lol amazon?
split latch
Yep
earnest olive
it's not a problem with the board
split latch
Is there a way to check the formatting of the usb just in case
earnest olive

zealous edge
Follow the steps and you will be fine
split latch
Okay
