Is the new MB functioning properly? I'm not sure. Could you ask for some assistance?
I checked the BIOS and noticed it needs an update from F2 to F4x. This is where the problem seems to occur. During a recovery via UEFI, I tried to restart into BIOS, but the PC won't start from Windows through the recovery option. I saw a brief error on the screen but didn’t see what it was before the system froze and shut down.
Despite this, all other functions work—startup, booting into BIOS, running games, etc.—everything seems fine. I managed to update the BIOS from the main startup without issues.
I read somewhere that sometimes EFI might not start from recovery if it lacks a drive letter. In my Disk Manager, I see: C: has 4 sectors (1 healthy recovery partition, 2 healthy EFI system partitions, and 3 on C
. Only one partition has a drive letter (C, and I’m not sure about the other two unless they’re for upgrades from version 10 to 11. I’m confused because only one partition has a letter, and I don’t understand why two recovery partitions might be needed. How can I identify the issue with the recovery EFI that’s not working even though the system runs perfectly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

12-18-2022, 01:41 AM #1Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out if my PC is functioning properly. My partner and I recently installed a new motherboard and CPU two days ago (an Aorus X570S Pro AX with a Ryzen 9). Everything seemed to go smoothly—system booted up, we applied the Windows updates, and reactivated it. So far, everything appears normal.

There are several methods to enter recovery mode. One option is to hold the shift key down while pressing the restart button. Another involves using a specific button on your Windows system, though I’m not sure of its exact location. You can also disrupt the boot process by resetting it three or four times, which will automatically move you into recovery mode. To exit, simply reboot the computer.
