[SOLVED] I need help, my Asus monitor is stuck on the Bios and won’t boot into windows.

[Logan11234]

My monitor is stuck on the bios after setting up new fans. I check everything to make sure no cables were lose or anything but nothing seem to work.
On the boot priority it says something like
SATA6G_2: WDC WD10EZEX-08WN4A0
And I’m assuming that may be the problem but I’m not sure what to do to fix it so it can allow me to boot back into windows
Any advice?

include your complete system specs with make & model of all components.

If you windows installation is on your western digital drive connected via sata that isn't the issue. If it is on something else then you need to move the other drive to the top of the boot priority list. You mentioned new fans. What fans were installed or replaced? If you are going into bios that usually indicates some sort of a post issue. (Power On Self Test) Often times when dealing with fans or coolers the fans are connected to the wrong header and fan speed errors are detected even though they are running. This is especially true when dealing with cpu cooler fans or AIO rigs that have their own speed controller that doesn't get hooked up with the cpu fan connector. We really need some more details related to the actual error that is failing post.

i replaced the IBuypower exhaust fan because it was making a raddle noise. I replaced them with the Corsair
CORSAIR - CUE SP120 RGB ELITE
Performance 120mm PWM Triple Fan Kit
with iCU Lighting Node CORE - Black

It won’t let me boot to windows and even if I press f5 or f10 it sends me back to the ASUS UEFI BIOS. There is only one Boot Priority which is the SATA6G_2: WDC WD10EZEX-08WN4A0
Which is the PC Hard drive

Not sure how to do a POST test :/ I’m new to this and installed fans, after that haven’t been able to get into windows since then. Just been stuck on the BIOS.

That seems to say the bios is not seeing the ssd.

Reseat the ssd cables.....both ends.

 

[jasonf2]

The Western digital drive listed above is a 1TB by spec. So my assumption would be that you are not seeing the SSD if there isn't another drive listed. If there is one it needs to be on top of the boot priority. I can't verify on the prebuilt but it looks like the SSD might be a M.2. I would reseat the drive and verify that nothing got knocked loose on it. If it is M.2 it won't have cables as it installs in a board slot.

FYI POST is a Power On Self Test that happens automatically when any computer powers up. You don't run it it just happens. When it fails it will usually show you the error and then have you go into bios.

Something could be misconfigured. Are there any error code or been codes ???

this is the 1TB HDD.
if is the only device showing then your SSD has either malfunctioned or is just not being detected.

was this system properly booting into Windows before you opened it up and altered the fans?
if so, you probably unintentionally bumped/knocked loose either power or data connection to the OS boot drive.
