but that doesn't support the sata interface that's on some m.2 ssd's, so make sure if you buy that, you don't buy a m.2 ssd with the sata interface

I have come with hopes that someone can help me with my pc.
Yesterday my windows claimed the Boot/bcd was missing or corrupt and refused to boot to my m.2, after attempting to fix that via bootable media device then accessing the command prompt. I had no luck. Decided to just reformat and and re-partition my m.2 and do a clean install of windows. Everything went smoothly until II rebooted after reinstalling all myy essentials (discord and steam and league and such.) Upon rebooting I recieved the same exact error that boot/bcd was missing. (error code 0cx000000f). I said F it and decided I was going to go through another reformat/clean install of windows to the m.2. Just before doing so I booted up to my HDD which was my old windows and for whatever reason. It booted my m.2 version of windows. It has everything I installed on it last night. I'm confused as to where my HDD windows went but I don't care a whole lot about it. I'm more so concerned as to why my m.2 version of windows booted up despite me selecting my HDD in my Bios. I want to know if rebooting again will cause some sort of other issue.

#

Please ping or DM me if you would like to help. Thanks

#

A few things to note, I typed in a few commands to teh command prompt via the bootable media device, those including but not limiited to bootrec /fixmbr. bootrec /fixboot, bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup, and a few others

twilit sun Please ping or DM me if you would like to help. Thanks

could be that Windows saved snapshots of itself to the HDD

#

as for your SSD, sounds like a dying drive or something like that

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

my m.2 is new, came in the mail less than 2 weeks ago

muted patio Mar 8, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

Since you have another HDD installed with a working copy of Windows, there are two boot managers installed

#

Best practice in that case is to unhook all drives except the one you want Windows installed to when you install it

#

complete the Windows installation on the M.2 with the other drive unhooked

#

Plug in the other drive, go into the BIOS and make sure the M.2 drive is selected as boot #1

#

After that, it should be fine

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

This all stemmed from me trying to fix something else. I had my m.2 as boot prio #1. However upon booting up i would get a black screen saying something like "please insert a bootable mediia device, no bootable deviices found"

#

however, iif I went to Bios and selected my m.2 manually, it would boot up completely fine

#

I wanted to fix this so i went to disk mangement and right clicked my M.2 and "set as active"

#

then I got the boot/bcd issue

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

What about just unplugging the hdd, reset cmos, and clean install windows onto m.2? I feel like part of the problem might be windows thinking the hdd is what you want to boot off of.

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

resetting cmos just requires you to take out battery and put it back in correct?

#

and I partially don't want to do another clean install of windows as I'd have to reinstall all my essentials with my poor down speed

Unplug all other drives then install Windows to the M.2

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

Basically power cycle, the point is to drain the power out so the settings reset, so don't just out and back in

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:48 PM

I'm confused. even if my pc was trying to boot to my HDD windows, why would it claim it had a boot/bcd issue iif I had no problems booting to that drive prior to thsi morning

muted patio Mar 8, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

because you have two boot devices

#

One is probably Legacy and the other is UEFI

fair birch Mar 8, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

if whatever they say doesnt work put it in rice

muted patio Mar 8, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

I agree, clear CMOS, only M.2 installed

#

Then install Windows again

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

Yea, unplug HDD, clear cmos, windows again is what I'd do

muted patio Mar 8, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

That way there is no confusion on boot records

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

If you absolutely can't clean install, just unplug HDD, reset cmos, and try booting, at least that

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

Do I need to unplug just the sata of the HDD or the power cable as well?

muted patio Mar 8, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

Just the data cable is fine

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

Might as well both :p

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

and other than takiing out and putting back in the Cmos battery, do I do anything else? regarding the Cmos?

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

But definitely unplug data

#

Take it out, press the power button a few times, wait a few minute, put it back in

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

Gotcha, as for the clean install of windows. I should, clear the m.2, reformat/re-partition it. then reinstall windows?

#

and upon resetting cmos, will I need to change any sort of bios settings after doing so?

muted patio Mar 8, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

Turn XMP back on

#

For your ram

#

Otherwise, nothing else needed

#

Clean and format the drive during the Windows installation process

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

Would I need to go into a command prompt to clean it or would I just delete partition, format, then install?

muted patio Mar 8, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

Just do it during the installation

#

Clear all the partitions previously created

#

Then tell Windows to install to the drive

twilit sun Mar 8, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

Got it, I gotta workout however I will come back with updates

What is your opinion on msi mag b550 tomahawk?

#

I’ve ready a lot of good reviews but some said the audio driver sounds crackly

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 6:11 PM

If you care about audio, get external amp/dac and not use integrated sound chips

brittle tinsel Mar 8, 2021, 6:11 PM

The headset I have has a dac but it connects with usb

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 6:11 PM

usb uses it's own thing, sound chip should have no effect on it

alc1200 is a fairly competent chip (for integrated chips), but not sure on the isolation

brittle tinsel Mar 8, 2021, 6:12 PM

It’s a razer kraken tournament v2, it has a little remote control thing that the headset hooks to and then the controller uses usb to plug to the pc, I call it a remote but their website calls it a dac

stoic island Mar 8, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

and I believe the "other boards have better codec" Is referring to costier boards usually having alc1220 over the alc1200 in tomahawk

#

being plugged in via usb means there's a dac on there somewhere

Hello, I am new here and in need of some help with my build. Having issues getting the pc to post. Called both Newegg customer svc and ASUS who is the maker of my motherboard. Both stated I may have chosen an incompatible PSU or graphics card. Is this the right place to post this?

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

Sure

#

Start with your motherboard and CPU please

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:40 AM

Here’s my build. Motherboard - prime z490m plus

Gpu and psu?

What happens when you hit the power button?

Hit the power button, LED on Mb turns on, fans all spin. No beep nothing, no image

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:42 AM

Ok, that's good

#

Next question

#

The cable from your monitor

desert gulch Mar 9, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

Where is it plugged in

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

Where is it plugged in, to the GPU or motherboard by USB ports?

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

Into the GPU

desert gulch Mar 9, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

Ok

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:43 AM

Try the HDMI or DP by the USB ports

Let me look up that board

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:43 AM

Haha yeah that was a roadblock

#

Honestly, I’ve googled this and have followed some guides. Removed and plugged everything with the exception of the CPU

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:44 AM

#

And no diagnostic lights

#

oof

#

Where are your ram sticks installed, what slots?

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

A2 and B2, which is what the manual says to do

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

GOod

#

You have the 8 pin CPU power plugged in?

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

So, that is the one thing I am not too confident about. It’s plugged in but the plug didn’t necessarily match the motherboard, read online that this was still ok

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

WDYM, that's a modular power supply, it should be labeled CPU

#

and have 8 pins

desert gulch Mar 9, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

maybe they talking about the 24 pin

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

Aye it does, but instead of being two squares it is a bit round

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

round?

#

Should be 8 pins from the CPU power socket to the PSU

desert gulch Mar 9, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

pic may help

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

In the CPU slot

#

Also, the big 24 pin connector, the part that goes into the power supply, you have BOTH of those plugged in, yes?

What y'all think of this spec list

All of that for 2150

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:49 AM

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:50 AM

yes, those are correct

#

2 4 PIN connectors

#

Might need to put one in before the other depending on how they're keyed

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:50 AM

Got both the cpu and mb plugged in though

both of those go in the 8 pin slot yes

5600x is pretty available now, it's the GPU that's tough

5800x for sure

if you want the looks, then go for it ig

Also check the connections into the power supply. Make sure both MB connections are plugged in

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

👍 all is plugged in properly. I spent almost all day Saturday trying to get this running, honestly at a complete loss

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:54 AM

Something probably isn't plugged in properly

#

CPU fan power cord is on the CPU_FAN header?

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

Yup, it runs and everything when I turn the power on

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

Well

#

We don't know that

#

Fans spin is all we know

#

Without diagnostic lights or a speaker we don't know anything TBH

#

Motherboards haven't come with a beeper for nigh on 10 years now

Do you ahve a drive installed?

Ok, unplug it from the wall

#

Remove the button cell battery

#

leave it out for aminute or two, put it back in, plug the power supply back in and boot again

#

Does the GPU fan spin?

I didn't ask that

What happens if you just let it sit?

#

Does it power cycle a couple times?

#

This is going to be really hard to troubleshoot without diagnostic LED's or a speaker

#

Could be anything TBH

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 2:21 AM

#

That’s the interesting part, I can let it sit here for a while. Fans spin nothing happens. I’ve messed with the monitor to see if it’s something there but nothing

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 2:21 AM

Just because the fans spin doesn't mean it's working :/

inland quartz Mar 9, 2021, 2:21 AM

#

I see

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 2:21 AM

#

Could be CPU, RAM, GPU or motherboard

small osprey Mar 9, 2021, 2:21 AM

#

im betting its ram

muted patio Mar 9, 2021, 2:22 AM

#

Fans spinning just means the motherboard is getting power

#

Try the other stick of ram in the A2 slot?

#

also, try the GPU in the lower PCI-E slot

#

just for grins

#

also try taking the M.2 drive out
