Overclocking and reinstalling Windows appears to be a poor combination.
Overclocking and reinstalling Windows appears to be a poor combination.
Nothing works. Is there any way I can reinstal the bios or something? Or is it a matter of a screwed up windows?
You might try re-flashing the BIOS, though that would probably be the final resort. It feels like a corrupted Windows installation.
Check the boot priority in your UEFI system. Review the CSM configuration. Verify if USB settings (XHCI, legacy enabled) are correct. Ensure drives are properly recognized within the UEFI environment. Confirm the SATA controller is configured for AHCI. Determine the installation method of Windows 10—whether using MBR or UEFI. This information helps CSM function effectively.
Boot priority details are as follows: SanDisk - usb stick with win install in UEFI; SanDisk, Partition 1; P6: ST1000DM003 - main hdd with Windows installed; P5: SanDisk SSD. Regarding CSM settings, 'Launch CSM Enabled' and 'Boot Device Control UEFI and Legacy OPROM' are active, but the boot from settings in the CSM bit is restricted to Legacy only. All drives are listed, SATA controller is configured for AHCI. I don't recall the exact installation method last time, but it was likely via USB. If not, I installed from the desktop.
Alright, I've used my HDD with all my files and Windows, but it's not functioning properly. It always restarts me back into the BIOS even though I attempt to override it.
With the Sandisk USB removed, I would recheck the boot sequence to confirm the HDD is first. Then, in the CSM, attempt to change from Legacy only to AUTO or similar settings.
I just tested without the USB and it brought me back to the screen warning about a system issue requiring an option choice. I attempted safe mode but received an error stating "Windows cannot complete installation in Safe Mode. To continue installing Windows, restart the computer." This confirms the HDD is still functional. I switched to auto and saw a message saying "Searching for media >>>" followed by opening the BIOS. Could there be a way to format my HDD through the BIOS? It might help.
It's quite strange. It appears Windows might be partially corrupted or only partially installed. With the bootable USB, there should be a repair section offering access to the command prompt, which could help manually format the HDD. Linux options are also available for installation on a USB stick if you have another PC. Do you also have a Sandisk SSD besides the Sandisk USB? If yes, I'll disconnect it during this troubleshooting to avoid accidental data loss.
