I just assembled my new Unraid build which is as follows:
case: fractal node 304
mobo: MSI MPG B560I
CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K
Memory: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HLYSHJC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
PSU: https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-iii-sf-550f14hg-550w/p/1HU-024C-00008
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A15 140mm Fan

I just got everything put together and put in my 3 HDDs and my unraid USB drive. When I tun on the system, it boots into the BIOS. It seems to detect everything correctly - it shows the correct CPU and memory. It see the hard drives and the USB stick. I set the boot order to boot from the USB stick. but after I reboot, it just keeps booting into the bios.

If I unplug the power cord from the PSU, wait a moment and then plug it back in and boot back up it usually spins up for a second and then shuts down - then spins back up and says "All settings were reset to default values"
Press F1 to Run SETUP
Press F2 to Continue
and all the bios setting I have made have been reset to default.

what could be wrong? I have not built a pc for several years so its possible I may have screwed something up

any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Could you check and see what BIOS version you're on at the time of writing? As for your platform, can you disassemble the system and inspect for any bent or broken pins on the CPU socket? In BIOS check and see if Fast Boot, Secure Boot and CSM are disabled.

thanks for the reply. I actually just updated the bios yesterday to the latest available version from the MSI website and it didn’t really change anything 🙁.

I have disabled fast boot and secure boot in the bios. But that all gets reset to defaults every time I disconnect power.

IM not sure what CSM is but i will look for and try to disable that as well.

I have not yet tried to disassemble everything yet but i will do that and inspect for bent pins on the CPU.
