[SOLVED] New build boots into BIOS, not Windows?

[asdfvtn]

I just made a new build with my computer, but used my old SSD that had windows 10 already installed and running on it. However, it's for some reason not booting into Windows 10 and boots into BIOS instead.
I've also tried booting from USB to reinstall windows, but it says "No drives were found". Could somebody help me out?

Specs:

Ryzen 3600

XFX 5700

EVGA Bronze 750W

DDR4 16GB

Crucial 480GB SSD

Asrock B450M Pro4


Thank you

In bios > Boot tab, CSM is set to enabled, and Launch Storage OpROM Policy is set to Legacy?

Your motherboard is confirmed to support the cpu? To confirm, it's on the Main tab, and next to UEFI Version. 3.30 or later is required.

Thanks for the help- I'm currently on UEFI 3.90. CSM is enabled, Launch Storage OpROM Policy was originally on UEFI only, but I've changed it to Legacy Only.
Still booting into BIOS only unfortunately. Where do I go from here?

Edit: Is there a way to tell if it's somehow not reading my SSD? I've tried different SATA ports but I don't know if it's maybe just not reading it?

Under the Advanced tab > Storage Configuration
SATA Controllers should be Enabled
SATA Mode should be AHCI
Hot Plug should be Disabled
Below that, the storage device(s) should be listed.

SATA Port 3 shares bandwidth with M2_2. Ultra M.2 supports PCIe and NVMe.

Is all I got here. I've tried SATA ports 1, 2, 4. Does this mean either my SSD is broken somehow, or all my SATA ports are? I've tried 3 different SATA cables.

It was still working before you switched it, right? They don't break that easily.

Boot tab > Boot Option Priorities > Are you able to select the SSD as Boot Option #1?

It was previously in a computer that suddenly stopped working the day after I installed new RAM. Computer was working fine with games, etc. The day after, I goto boot it up but it doesn't turn on. The case light turns on, and the light that connects to the GPU turns on. Only the PSU fan turns on, no other fans turn on.
It was a pretty old computer (i5-4460), so I figured it was time to replace everything anyway.

It was that SSD into this new build.

In Boot Option Priorities, there's no drives listed. there's only Boot from Onboard LAN.

~Ohh...
Well now, you need to try hooking that drive up to another PC to be sure it's not dead.

I literally just found out I didn't plug in my power cable for Sata port. I spent like 10 hours doing this because I'm an idiot. Thank you, so, so much.

🤣
Well, at least it wasn't dead!

Haha that's for sure!
One last question though. Are there any Bios settings I should be changing back? Should I be changing OpROM back to UEFI rather than Legacy?

 

[Phaaze88]

Leave it on Legacy. If it doesn't work, then switch back to UEFI.
I'm currently using Legacy - switching to UEFI sends me back to bios.

Thank you so much. Have a good one!
