Hello;
I just built this ASUS Z790-Plus Wifi D4 computer for my best friend yesterday and it won't boot - keeps going into bios settings.
I've been building computers for 30 years and have never had one fail to boot until yesterday.
Troubleshooting steps I've tried ...
1. Connected two different hard drives, one SSD (Ubuntu) a,d another Internal IDE (Windows) and computer recognizes them both but they both are not listed as boot devices. Both Ubuntu or Windows WILL NOT startup.
2. Inserted a DVD with an image of UBUNTU on it and the computer reads it for a few minutes and then displays bios settings again. Nothing is displayed on screen while DVD spins - Ubuntu install does NOT start. Unlike in #1, computer does recognize DVD as a boot device but will not boot and just goes into BIOS as in #1.
3. Have 2X16 DDR4 Corsair memory - Tried one stick at a time in different slots - still same problem.
4. Clock was ahead 1 day - reset it to correct day.
Not sure if this would be an issue. I'm guessing not. My MB had an 8 pin atx power connection but my power supply only had a 4 pin connector. I am not overclocking or using any cards.
Anyone have any suggestions for things to try or recommendations? Any way to definately rule out memory and/or CPU issues? Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
