Apologies for the formatting I'm using on mobile.
I'm running an Asus Prime B550M-A Wi-Fi motherboard.
Seasonic Focus 750w gold
32GB DDR4 GSKILL Ripjaws
Ryzen 7 5700G
Asus RTX 3050
My PC shut down during startup and it's stuck in automatic repair mode, but nothing happens. The extension cord switch was accidentally pressed, cutting power. When I boot into BIOS, all drives, CPU, and RAM are detected.
I also noticed my SSD isn't in the boot priority list. I chose to perform a clean Windows install and made a flash drive for it. During installation, it would either restart unexpectedly or freeze.
I suspected a hardware problem, so I took it to a local PC builder. They removed the SSD and replaced it with their own. It won't boot to the desktop unless one of my HDDs is taken out, suggesting the HDD might be faulty.
The problem continued even after replacing the SSD. We still couldn't install Windows, and the PC would freeze or restart randomly during installation. Their SSD with Windows already installed boots normally, but it was late at night, so further testing wasn't possible.
Hello there, new member! I saw that my SSD isn't in the boot priority list. Could you tell me the brand and model of your SSD?
It's a Kingston 1TB m.2 nvme drive, but I'm unable to confirm the exact model since I left it in the shop. The BIOS version is similar, though it seems updates have been over a year unless automatic updates are enabled. That old hard drive belonged to my previous laptop, but this one was removed to address the issues. I also cleared my SSD, and the second HDD has no older OS installation.
Hi!
My CPU was installed on another PC, which also fails to boot properly.
