Windows 10: Booting into Bios and not Windows

Greetings all!

Today out of nowhere I got the Green Screen of Death. I believe the code was Critical_Process_Died but I'm not completely sure. So I knew it had to do with the Insider Windows thing since it was Green.

Anyways, it forces me to reboot, but then my computer got stuck on the Asus ROG logo (I have a B550f ROG Strix board) and after thirty minutes of waiting, I gave up and held the power button down and forced a shutdown.

Well lo and behold, when I try to boot it up again, now it is going straight into bios regardless of whether or not I hit Del/F2. At first, it didn't even recognize any hard drives, but after I messed with the Boot settings (disabling Fast Startup and enabling CSM) it finally booted, but this time I'm getting "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key" or something along the lines of that. So I created a Windows Repair/Restore drive, and I went back in and used the command prompt function to do the " bootrec/rebuildbcd " command. Then it said "Total Identified Windows Installations: 0" I also could not run backup or the system image or any of the other functions.

I also have noticed recently that my SSD has been crapping out (It's a Silicon Power 1TB) in that my computer will freeze momentarily and in games like Rainbow Six my loading times are very long not to mention half the time skins and such wont even load in on the loading screens/choosing Operator screens.

My computer does recognize that the SSD is present as in the boot menu it is an option. I just plugged it in via a SATA to USB connection to my laptop and it does show up as a connection, but I can't open it as a USB drive or anything, and in the properties, it is listed as a Storage device under Categories but the description is unavailable and I can't see how big it is or anything. It simply says "Connection via USB 3.0."

Is this a hardware related issue, a Windows issue, a bios issue, or a combination of all of them? I can afford a new SSD but I have so much valuable information (not child porn ffs) on this SSD that I'd be really bummed out if it turns out that it's dead.

I appreciate any and all help.

Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

Windows stuck in automatic repair; Can't access BIOS/ boot menu

I've changed the boot order through both BIOS and the boot manager, as my original post stated. Neither did anything, but both were functional in the past. Neither listed the windows boot manager, either. Previously, it would boot just as expected whenever
other media was set as the first option, so I'm pretty sure there are no issues there.

As my original post suggested, I've already tried out the steps you gave. I've gone through all the options listed in the boot menu, UEFI or not.

My BIOS and boot menu settings were at their defaults when all of this started, so that's been tried already, if those are what you're referring to.

 

Windows 10 will only boot if selected from the BIOS boot menu.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

• You mean to say, every time you need to make changes to Boot Order in BIOS, to start your computer correctly?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

I suspect that the problem might be due to outdated BIOS update
or with Boot Configuration data. Suggest you to check for the latest BIOS update and Chipset drivers for your device hardware on Manufacturer website. If you find a new one, try to update the same to see if it correct
the issue. If problem still persist, then I suggest to rebuild Boot Configuration Data to see if it makes any difference.

Let us try to repair your computer by creating a Windows 10 Bootable media (I.e. USB or DVD) using
Media Creation Tool.
Use your computer or some other connected to Internet for creating a Bootable media (Windows 10 ISO image file). Once you're ready with Bootable Media, follow the below mentioned
steps.

• Insert the Windows installation disc in the disc drive or connect USB media, and then start the computer.
• Press a key when the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears.
  
  If your PC does not detect the media automatically
  • During the restart process, read the screen for any instructions that explain how to interrupt normal startup and enter the basic input/output system (BIOS) setup utility. Most PCs use the F2, F10, ESC, or DEL key to begin the BIOS Setup.
  • Look for a tab in the BIOS Setup Utility that is labeled Boot Order,
    Boot Options, or Boot. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the
    Boot Order, then press Enter.
  • Locate the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive (this might be called Removable Device) in the Boot list. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive up so that it appears first in the Boot list. Press Enter. The boot order
    sequence is now changed to boot from the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
  • Press F10 to save your changes and to exit the BIOS Setup Utility. Select Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will restart. Allow the PC to restart normally. The scan will take a few minutes and remove any malware that may be infecting your computer.
• Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.
• Click Repair your computer.
• Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click
  Next.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot. Select
  Advanced Options > Command Prompt
  under Advanced Options.
• Type Bootrec /RebuildBcd, and then press
  ENTER. This command will rebuild boot configuration data if in case any issue with Boot files causing this issue.

Once you done with the above steps, see if the problem still persist.

Let us know how it went.
