Boot device fail?

Zeebedy · 8 Apr 2021 at 13:01

Hey guys,

I have just finished my build, but cannot get it booting. I have checked my manual to translate the led indicators, and it says BOOT , either no detected or failed?

I tried my Nvme drive in both motherboard m.2 slots, same result?

Any quick help much appreciated!

Disconnect unnecessary devices for now, like extra drives. Is it a brand new drive?

it’s the only storage drive I have in the system

land yes, it’s brand new.

Have a look at the settings and see if CSM is on. Maybe try disabling that.

what is CSM?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the exact issue here, but are you getting this message after post?
ie, no operating system installed?

Can you boot from USB and install your OS from there or can you not even get to that point?

Can’t get to that point, there is nothing on the monitor, but everything looks ok? I mean all leds, fans, keyboard, mouse etc.. all on.

My hot take:
The boot LED is a red herring. I think you are getting that because you have no OS installed.

The actual issue is no display. What CPU and GPU are you using? Is display cable definitely plugged into GPU card?

it’s a 10600k and a gtx 1080, it’s definitely in and I even tried the onboard graphics but nothing..

Tried everything now guys..I’m stumped, because, I checked connections, re set ram, tried different hdmi/dp cables..

Here’s a strange thing, I put in a W10 usb and rebooted, now all lights are off, even the boot light, and it won’t let me soft reboot, so I think it’s in the menu now to install windows! Just no picture!

Hey guys,

well, I took out the gpu and used the internal gpu and booted to bios, so I tried the lower gpu slot on the motherboard, and nothing. So the gpu is buggered!

Now it’s to get a new one in this climate :confused:

Thanks for all the help guys, appreciated! Will update as I go along!

Zeebedy · 8 Apr 2021 at 16:18

Yeah, the logo on the side and fans were on..just no display

Zeebedy · 8 Apr 2021 at 18:28

Thanks guys.

Tried all the above..

but I don’t think it’s the gpu after all..I got hold of a card to test and get the same, DP and HDMI.

it’s a new mother board but does it look like the gpu slots on the board are goosed?

Hey guys, I ended up changing motherboard, same issue :mad:

I’m in the bios through intergrated graphics, again not working through gpu.

I can’t seem to find an option for external gpu? My motherboard is a ASUS TUF gaming z490 plus.

any help ASAP would be great.

Is this it?

PCI subsystem settings?

it’s disabled atm?

hey guys,

I managed to get booted, by selecting the PCIE as the "primary" source for the monitor.

Now the problem im having is instability in Windows 10. It will hang then automatically reboot, I think it could be a RAM issue?

I think that because after the crashing I said "sod it" and entered the BIOS and enabled XMP (running at 3600Mhz) and loaded into W10 and it is yet to crash?
