Question Need help, new build is not booting after successful install of windows.

[Unclesam20]

NEED HELP! Hello, I just built a pc for the first time in a few years. I was able to install windows just fine. I then changed a bios setting “network stack” to try to fix the onboard WiFi, this caused my boot to fail. I should also add that every time I booted my system up from beginning I would get a yes or no question about some setting, can’t quite remember what it was, but I was hitting no repeatedly, then when it wouldn’t boot I hit yes and since then I see the gigabyte insist ultra durable screen for a second and then it goes black and tries again. I can still get into bios, but I have tried all I can and I can’t get it to boot. Also in bios I have a light on my boot indicator. I have reset cmos, reset all my pieces besides my cpu. Motherboard is gigabyte gaming x ax, cpu ryzen 5 7600, ssd nvme w black 2tb, gigabyte 4070 ti super. I’m super bummed right now. Really hoping I didn’t totally f up my whole system. Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

So, in the bios, have you selected the Default Settings option and saved it, then tried a reboot?

Loki has the right idea, if no joy, then check with company for correct BIOS settings. If no boot after fixing Bios settings trying windows insatllation media

Thank you for the response. Yes, I have reset factory settings and also setup settings neither have worked. Is there any chance I corrupted my drive by saying yes to whatever it was asking me? I’m most likely going to take it in to micro center if I exhaust all my options since I don’t have extra hardware to test. I’m not terribly knowledgeable about bios and software so let me know what you think I should do, I can post screenshots of my settings. I was fully in to windows and the traditional desktop before it started not booting

You should try booting from the windows install media e.g usb stick and see if you can boot into windows using the troubleshooting options e.g. Startup Repair, or Safe Mode etc. That will show if the Windows Install is damaged. There are other ways in that section that can be tried also.

Okay, I tried it with the stick as my primary boot and still getting same response. Would enabling secure boot in my bios do anything? Says I need to enroll the platform key and put system in user mode before I do that

I just enable secure boot and it didn’t do anything when active
