Hey everyone, today I was putting together a new PC. My storage devices—like the SSD and two HDDs—were old, and the SSD had its OS already installed. When I powered it on, the motherboard booted up for the first time and showed a warning: "hardware or software changes are made." After that, it said it was preparing an automatic repair and then shut down after about two minutes. Now my system is stuck in this cycle. Someone, could you help me fix this issue?

Build specs: I5 9600k, RTX 2060, 16GB DDR4 RAM, MSI B365M Pro-VDH, M.2 Samsung EVO SSD (1TB), HDD (not specified).

Disconnect all external drives except the boot drive and verify it’s set as the default boot device in the UEFI. Are you online? The system may fail to start if a required driver is absent, even though Windows 10 includes the needed ones.

Do you possess a different machine that allows you to erase the storage drives?

When using Windows, you can start from a CD or thumb drive. If prompted about the hard drive to install on, simply remove the full partition. You won’t need to perform a full wipe unless you have important, irreplaceable information. After clearing the old partition and setting up a new one, it will act as though nothing was changed. Still, some data recovery tools may help retrieve files that weren’t overwritten if someone is trying to access them.

When sensitive information is at stake, numerous tools exist for thoroughly scanning a hard drive (deep erase). The process mainly involves repeatedly writing 1s and 0s across sectors to ensure complete data removal.
