Question Cannot start PC due to messing with BIOS ?

[Nithil111]

Hello, I have a gygabite AB350-gaming3 motherboard. During boot (in what I believe is bios) I set the "Storage boot option control" to UEFI only (from legacy only). This has caused my PC to be unable to start, stating something about repairing. I have reversed this back to "legacy only" but the problem persists. What are my options? thank you

it still said repairing?

it still said repairing?

"Preparing automatic repair" and then it goes to a reset loop

If I have to reinstall windows then I will, just don't want to waste time if there is a quicker solution

 

[rgd1101]

the first time did you just shut it down while it said Preparing automatic repair ?

No, it restarted itself automatically, which it keeps doing, always going to the gigabyte startup logo

Now you need to enter BIOS and select the proper drive with Windows on it.

I'm having no luck with that as well.
I have three options for boot: windows boot manager p2 SSD, p2 SSD, P3 SSD, and none of these work, the last two just tell me to restart my PC and select a proper drive with windows on it.

I even tried disconnecting the second drive, to make sure that it boots from the windows drive but no luck, still on the Repairing disk screen

Which drive has Windows on it?

p2, but I have to choose boot manager p2 SSD for it to even attempt to boot, and get to the disk repair screen with the gigabyte logo

Does it attempt to repair the disk?

 

[Nithil111]

Does it attempt to repair the disk?

To be precise, it gets to the booting screen where it states "preparing automatic repair", then reboots and loops

You posted the above quote at 5:10pm. It has now been more than enough time that you could have re-installed windows and had a running PC....

Does it let you reinstall windows? I did the very same thing (plus enabling CSM) and now my drive isn't recognized when trying to reinstall windows on it o.o

Oh no, the same thing is happening to me, I can't get windows to boot from a flash drive. I'm trying to run the Windows installation from a flash drive and I'm still stuck in the restart loop that takes me to the gigabyte logo, I even tried disconnecting the SSD that had windows already installed on it, hoping to install windows on the other SSD instead, but I'm still stuck in the restart loop and it won't show me the windows installation screen.
Help?

Would wiping the discs help somehow? how would I do that if I can't get past bios?

 

[Nithil111]

a bios update helped! solved
