Hey folks,
I have an Origin prebuilt PC that I recently got. I am fairly certain that there is some form of motherboard defect, but I am not totally sure of the extent of it.
What I have discovered and have not found a solution for, however, is that the PC refuses to recognize boot devices. In UEFI, I only see PXE IPv4 and PXE IPv6 as boot options. I have attempted plugging in an m.2 SSD, a 2.5" SSD, and a 3.5" HDD. I have tried these all both with and without having Windows 10 installed onto the devices, all without any change. It does boot into the Windows 10 install off of a USB (Will not read an m.2 plugged into a USB with an adapter as a boot drive, but I also think this is normal with any PC) and within the Windows 10 install, it's able to read that I have a storage device plugged in. In this state, I can begin installing Windows 10, but when it restarts the PC, I can't go any further as it doesn't boot off of whatever I installed the OS to. When I turn on the PC, it also says
">Checking media presence....
>No media found..." which then makes it boot into UEFI.
I have tried resetting the UEFI settings, and I've also tried using a different SATA slot, but that's the only troubleshooting I could find online. Any other ideas would be so immensely appreciated. TIA, and good luck.
