Ok so let me explain.

Recently built a new pc, long story short I had to replace my motherboard due to it being faulty. (It was a gigabyte aorus master z390.) So due to Gigabytes absolutely horrible customer service I chose to forego getting another gigabyte motherboard. Ended up getting the AsRock Z390 Taichi instead. Rebuilt the pc again and that's where I am stuck.

For some odd reason or another, it boots into UEFi Bios but will NOT boot into windows. I have my windows installed on one of my 3 NVME m.2 drives. (All 3 are samsung evo 1tb.)

No matter what settings I change, it just boots into UEFI and then it goes to No Signal. Never see the windows logo or anything.

Things I've tried.

Cleared CMOS.
Disabled and enabled Fast Boot.
Unplugged the USB keyboard.
Changed multiple storage settings. (It had Raid Mode on so I disabled it.)

So I have no idea why it's doing this. It's almost like, the windows install on my NVME (which was perfectly ok on other motherboard.) Got corrupted or something. No idea how. Is it normal for a motherboard swap to mess up a windows install? In the bios it shows the Nvme (with the windows on it) as Boot Manager device so it recognizes it as such. Just doesn't seem to boot into windows using it or any other drive. (Obviously).

Computer specs.

Asrock z390 Taichi motherboard.

I didn't reinstall windows, I just plugged in all my drives from the previous build. I only swapped out my motherboard because it was faulty. When you install a new motherboard do you have to install windows fresh?
Yes. You need to do a clean install of Windows....and when you do....you need to ONLY have the drive connected that you are installing Windows to.

Vilesyde - I too have a Asus z390 and am having a similar problem. New MB after the old one died. Trying to plug in the drives and not booting to windows. Part of my issue is that the MB does not see any bootable devices to chose from. Are you having that same issue in the BIOS?

EDIT: Nevermind - I see that you can see your drive.
