Question Error on booting, restarts on its own, megatrends screen

[eassimak]

Hello hivemind. I have a weird situation and ive tried everything and am at my witts end. A little while ago my computer started having issues on boot. When i started booting all my lights and fans would start running and booting like normal but then 4 or so seconds in it would hard shut off and then restart again. After the 2nd start it would load and the following american megatrends screen would come up. It would prompt me to go to bios and then if I hit save and exit my computer would start normally. Additionally I have 2 sata hard drives that my computer will not see, Ive changed power cables, changed sata ports, all the connections are working but 2 of my hard drives wont come up. In dealing with the booting issue I have done: 1.) Full reset of my computer, fresh install of windows and updating of drivers. 2.) Updated BIOS 3.) Removed GPU, unnecessary hard drives 3.) Unplugged and replugged all PSU cables. Still nothing. Any and all help would be appreciated!

Did you run the ME update tool prior to your update to 3001? Also, speaking of BIOS versions, you're pending BIOS updates. I'd advise updating like so: 3003>3004>3005. See if that helps with the issue. Also, have you tried working with said culprit HDD's on another system and seen f the issue crops up there? As for your PSU, how old is the unit? What version of Windows 10 are you on at the time of writing? See if you use Samsung's Magician app and if your SSD is pending any firmware updates.

Lastly, which SATA ports are the HDD's populating on the motherboard? Link to ram kit used?

1.) I updated windows prior to BIOS(windows 10 current version14393.2189) 2.) Ill try those bios versions in order now and let you know 3.) Dont currently have another system to test the hard drives, but thats a secondary issue right now 4.) Psu and mobo are 4 years and 1 month old 5.) Ive tried all of the 6 sata ports, i have a 1tb WD SSD that works in all the ports but the other drives stopped working
