Problem with MSI H510M Plus V3 not starting up
You're facing an issue where your PC's motherboard lights cycle through colors and gets stuck on green during boot. The manual points to a BIOS problem, but it doesn't show up in BIOS. You've confirmed the hardware is correct and built from scratch, so the likely cause lies elsewhere—possibly with the BIOS setup, power supply, or firmware updates.
And you see nothing on the screen while booting, no bios splash screen? Nothing if you keep tapping the delete key while booting? Do you have your windows usb ready? Maybe stick that in see if it goes past the green light. If it posts and you have no display there seems to be some error in either the gpu / monitor / monitorcable. Would be good to rule these out by trying them with other devices.
I identified the issue—it was related to my video adapter... The next problem came up: my BIOS doesn’t recognize any drives in boot priority, but lists them under a "storage" section with Hot Plugged off (probably should be turned on).
They seem to be devoid of data, so they won’t boot. You’ll have to set up an operating system. Typically a Windows installer is available on a USB drive.
It's been several years since the last update. You may need to turn on CSM or legacy boot settings in BIOS. Consider doing a clean install if you have crucial data saved.
It seems your BIOS defaults to something shown in the screenshot. I checked the "settings - boot" section, but there aren't any options to change the mode. The image you referenced confirms this.
It's understandable what you're referring to. Six months is relatively new, but the focus is often on the hardware used for installation. If it was set up with outdated components, it could still run in legacy mode. You might locate more information here:
