Problem with starting the computer and reaching BIOS.
Problem with starting the computer and reaching BIOS.
you're starting from scratch with a new build and want to verify everything is set up correctly. check your power delivery by testing the pcie connection, ensuring fans run at full speed, and confirming the bios menu appears. your components look good—just double-check ram and gpu power connections. if nothing shows up, try reseating the motherboard or using a different power supply to rule out issues.
It's a common mistake for new builders. There is no way to delete posts on this forum, but don't worry about it.
but now the system shows a warning about a firmware update from a professor that alters how storage works for the TPM in firmware. If you didn’t activate this feature, press y to proceed. When encryption is enabled through FTMP, follow the steps below: press y to reset FTMP, make sure you save your recovery key, or the system won’t start without it. Press n to keep the current FTMP setting and let the boot continue, though the feature won’t work. You might need to revert to an earlier BIOS/processor version to recover TPM-related data. I’m not sure what this all means, but I think it relates to Windows functionality. If you don’t have a recovery key, I’m not sure what the exact issue is. Help would be appreciated.
This occurs occasionally, even among those who are well-prepared. For now I’ll keep it posted. Not to embarrass but to show others facing the same can see what happens. If you wish it be taken down, just message me. -= Topic Locked =-
