System failure detected—cannot start from any device on the boot list.
System failure detected—cannot start from any device on the boot list.
I've updated my setup to boot directly into BIOS and only see the flash drive with Windows. When CSM is enabled, both the M.2 drive and another flash drive appear in the boot sequence. Trying to start from these devices fails, showing a solid underscore screen until I manually restart. Unlike other reports, mine doesn't have a blinking cursor—just one frame before it freezes. This means the system won't boot from any available drives. I've replaced the motherboard and tested all possible hardware combinations, but updating the BIOS keeps causing crashes. Need advice on how to fix this.
The BIOS indicates a boot failure during the initial start or after resetting the CMOS, yet setting it to use optimized defaults doesn't fix the issue.
I tried installing Windows on the SSD via another machine, but when I chose it as the boot method, the cursor stayed stuck in a frozen state. Eventually, I was able to disconnect the device entirely and the USB setup still failed to start, suggesting the issue wasn’t with the SSD itself.
Install Rufus on your USB drive and configure it as the initial installer in boot priority settings.
As mentioned before, I have completed everything. Setting it as the highest priority in boot order causes it to freeze on an empty screen with no cursor, preventing the Windows installation from starting.
