I used a software called ddu to uninstall my drivers for my old gpu I got. And I put my new one in all it would do is go straight to the bios and nothing more. Then I put in my old gpu to see if that was the problem it’s still went to the bios every single time. I tried to reset the CMOS and still nothing. I did put into safe mode before any uninstalling was done

Pc specs- i5-4790k, mobo z97 pro gamer, gpu RX 580, PSU- EVGA 650w

I’ve been stuck for about a week now and I really need help and stressin.

Hard Drive -WD BLUE 1tb hard drive

update the BIOS to the latest version and try again

is you HDD still connected and detected by the BIOS?
all cables still in place? maybe while swapping the GPU, something got out of its place
Yes all cables are in place and it says boot priority as p1: WDC so I’m pretty sure it’s saying that it’s detecting it
 
just to check if it boots with a different drive
you can use a USB windows install stick as well, if you want

while you get into BIOS, does any of your Q LEDs on the motherboard light up?
There are 4. DRAM, CPU, VGA (GPU) and BOOT Device.

press F8 while the ASUS logo is there and chose the windows boot partition

No none of the LEDs light up when I’m in bios. and as of right now I’m pretty broke and can’t get a usb window install stick but should that be something I should look into when I get paid. I’ve already tried pressing f8 and choose a boot option it jus sends me straight into the bios again
 
most likely windows will not be detected and won´t boot, that´s why you are stuck in BIOS.

load optimized settings in bios, save&exit

you can try changing the CSM compatible settings to UEFI or the other ones and check again, save&exit

Is your hard drive connected to an sata port?
 
Yes the hard drive is connected to a sata port

yes the drive is connected to a sata port and I will try the ueif tomorrow I gotta go to bed I got work but if it’s not that do you have anymore suggestions
 
UEFI can be a bit tricky, you will have to find the correct settings used before you resetted the BIOS to successfully boot again.

probably windows installation stick can repair windows boot

you can download directly from microsoft the windows media creation file, then it can prepare an usb flash drive to boot from and repair the windows on the HDD in your system.
