Gigabyte motherboard boot loop, no further details
I'm getting the exact same error. I enabled the "keys" in Secure boot and I do not have a physical TPM attached to the board. I tried every single possible scenario. Changing the battery, no other components than the processor, keyboard and display. Changing paste, shorting CLR CMOS, with a jumper and a screwdriver, removing the battery. I do not have another motherboard to check all the other components but they were working fine until yesterday. The other thing I did change was the multiplier in the MHZ frequency of the processor, so I did OC a littlebit, but not so much that it would cause a boot loop every 4 seconds. I'm about to purchase another MOBO but I'm poor hahaha
Hey everyone, sorry for the off topic post, but I think this might be useful for someone in a similar situation. What happened to the original poster yesterday (I believe)? I was experimenting with secure boot to understand why Windows 11 requires it. I repeatedly enabled and disabled secure boot, eventually giving up and trying to restore it to its default setting. When that failed, I decided to enable CSM with secure boot active, hoping the BIOS would handle it after a reboot. At that point, I realized you can't use secure boot without UEFI—this was a big moment. I saved my settings and restarted, but the PC kept rebooting repeatedly. I tried Power Mode first, thinking it might help, but it didn’t work. Then I searched for solutions and found Q-Flash Plus from Gigabyte. It’s a tool that lets you flash BIOS files directly into the motherboard without booting into BIOS. Most guides said to flash without CPU or graphics card installed, but my setup was SFF. Since I was tired and had to work the next day, I flashed with CPU and GPU on. After the flash, the system rebooted and worked perfectly! I’m glad it helped and no longer needed secure boot. My specs: Ryzen 7 3700X, Gigabyte X570 I PRO WIFI with F33 BIOS, NVMe SSD, 16GB RAM. TL;DR: If you can’t boot into BIOS, use Q-Flash Plus from Gigabyte to flash the BIOS file directly. It’s simple—download a compatible BIOS file, copy it to a USB stick, plug it in, power off, and wait a few minutes. Then reboot. Works!
