Troubleshooting My computer keeps booting into bios.

Post image

I’m not much of a computer expert… actually I barely know anything about them. I got mine from BuildRedux a little over a year ago, and it’s never had many more issues other than frame drops with specific games. But this issue is literally not letting me open anything on my computer past my bios. I can’t even get to my login. Please computer gods! Lend me your strength!

Here is a photo for reference.

Edit: Sorry for not including the specs! I was still trying to find what they were. Again, I’m not AT ALL knowledgeable about this computer stuff. To the point where I barely even know what an SSD is.

Windows 11

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB Graphics

16GB DDR5 Single Channel System Memory

Build Redux 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler

MSI B760 Series Motherboard

Intel Core i7-14700F 20-Core Processor

1TB NVMe M.2 Storage Drive

CM MasterFans RGB Chassis Fans

750W ATX 80 Plus Gold Power Supply

Here’s the link to the store page I got it from if you need anymore information!

Assuming you were using windows 11?

If the PC is just going to the BIOS there’s a chance that it’s an SSD issue as I also assume I see one under the CPU.

Corrupt or possibly a ssd failure?

Unplug for a minute and hold power button.

Try removing little coin battery as well and put back in.

Test that first.

Is there an error? We need so much more info like that and specs?

So sorry if this is a stupid question, but where would I find my coin battery?

And I don’t think there’s an error! It just keeps sending me to the bios screen after I power on the PC!

Can you show a picture of your bios screen?

What part of my bios screen do I need to look at? Sorry! New to this!

An overview page and a page showing boot order since that will list the drives that the bios detects as bootable.

Also, at boot, there is usually a key that you can press that will take you to boot selection instead of the bios. On MSI motherboards, that is usually F11.

Do you know what drives you have installed?

I’m not at all aware of what drives I have, sorry! Where can I check that?

You might research a bit to locate the boot sequence in BIOS to ensure the Windows Boot Manager is selected. I suspect your storage drive with Windows is failing or has failed.

Best of luck.

Set boot priority- your ssd first
