Question Computer keeps booting into bios

[WhatTheTech]

Apologize in advance if this isn’t the proper section to post this.

So about 1 hour ago I was using my pc perfectly fine I haven’t had any hiccups with it or anything. I decided to restart my pc after I reset my WiFi and left my room once I came back I noticed the pc still hadn’t restarted and seemed frozen so I turned it off manually with the power button. After doing that my pc just keeps booting into the bios automatically and I’m not seeing any devices under boot priority but my mother board is detecting my storage devices. My ssds are showing up under storage information in EZ Mode and also showing up in nvme configuration in advanced mode aswell as ez flash UEFI so not sure what happened. I’ve been messing around with it for about 30 minutes now but I’m pretty much stuck. Any help would be appreciated

Ok I’ve managed to make some progress . When enabling CSM one of my ssds now show under boot priority but after restarting I get error “ reboot and select proper boot device” will keep updated

You should list your system specs, especially the drives, the motherboard, the PSU.

It could be that after the crash the BIOS got reset and now the settings are no longer right for your drive. For example, if it is set in RAID mode and you have a NVMe as boot drive it's not going to work until you set it back to AHCI.

Yea sorry about that my pc specs are
CPU-AMD Ryzen 9 5950x
MOBO-ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming
GPU-EVGA FTW3 3090
RAM- DDR4 3600MHZ CORSAIR VENGEANCE
PSU- Corsair 1000W I forget which specifically
Storage- 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2 x2, 1 Sata ssd Samsung 870 QVO 2TB

What is your boot drive? Is it one of the 980 pro? Do you have them in NVMe raid mode? What is the SATA mode right now?

Like I said, it could be a BIOS setting that changed during the crash and your boot partition is no longer seen.

Do you have a Windows recovery drive?

Just to also clarify I’m not completely knowledgeable on all this stuff but I can manage a bit but Yea my boot drive was on one of my 980 pro M.2s and not sure what NVME raid mode is. I don’t have a recovery right now but I can get one since I have a laptop just wanted to wait and see if I could some how fix this without it first

Did you build the PC yourself or did you buy a pre-built? If you built it yourself it's certainly not in NVMe raid mode. If you got it already built then who knows what they did. Do you remember seeing your two NVMe as separated drives in Windows?

Would also be really useful to know what are your current SATA and NVMe settings in the BIOS.

I built the pc myself about 3-4 years ago. If you’re asking if both my NVME were showing under boot priority I don’t recall I think not but can say for certain. If you’re asking just in general if they were separate storage devices when in the desktop yes they were. Not sure how to send a picture here but in my sata configuration
SATA Port Enable is - Enabled
SATA mode is - AHCI
NVME RAID mode is - Disabled
SMART Self test is - Enabled

As far as NVME configuration goes there’s only 2 options

Self test option - Short
Self test action - Controller Only Test

Hopefully this is what you’re referring too

Would like to also add that I went and reseeded the NVMEs already too and when booting up they were detected by the mobo but still for some reason no bootable drives showing under the list and the only time I Atleast get drive to show in the list is when I switch CSM to enabled but then when i save and restart I get “reboot and select proper boot device”

You drive settings look ok to me. I don't think you can boot Windows 11 with CSM because it disable secure boot and TPM. Speaking of that, do you have secure boot and FTMP enabled? You are on Windows 11 right?

You could also try to do a CMOS restet and see if it helps. If it doesn't, then you may have to reinstall Windows since your boot partition seems to be gone. I hope you backed up your stuff on your system drive.

i was still on windows 10 actually haha. I didn’t backup any of my stuff unfortunately. Luckily only a couple of things on there that I’ll regret losing if I’m unable to figure this out but I guess lesson learned from here on out.
