  1. Computer won’t boot into windows, only boots into BIOS.


    So, I recently upgraded my motherboard and got everything up and running and it was fine. I changed SSD in my secondary M.2 and downloaded a clean install of Windows 11 Pro on my main SSD M.2 slot. After I installed windows everything booted fine and I was good to go. Just a few minutes ago, I was updating windows with the windows update settings and now my pc only boots into BIOS. I’ve tried changing to secure boot and my boot option is on UEFI Hard Disk which is the only option on my motherboard for my SSD. I’m not sure what happened to cause this.

    Sabertooth 990fx won't boot to windows logo, it shuts down

    to boot and enter bios and load windows, any todays PSU (with the correct plugs) will work, AFAIK

    to enter BIOS only low wattage is used.
    Then, during boot, the HDD and a bit later the videocard card start to demand juice, then the other devices and periphericals... so the total demand during boot up is incrementing step by step, that's why a failure halfway could indicate a PSU problem....

    Gigabyte 6950 1ghz computer won't boot

    I did reset the bios (with the old card, with the 6950 it wont boot to bios screen even)
    I didnt list it but my cpu is a core I5 540 2.6 with 2*2GB of corsair 1333

    HDD irrelevent imho since a computer should boot to bios without one

    computer won't boot but has power

    Kursah, that 6 steps are granted it always boots at the 6th step (sometimes at the 4th) and I have to remove the ethernet cable every time otherwise I'll have to do countless steps, that's a fact. I do not have Wake On Lan set.
