This setup won't exit BIOS automatically—MSI B550 Tomahawk with Ryzen 5600X
It seems you're discussing CSM and the benefits of switching to UEFI. This means Windows was originally installed in legacy mode. Even if that's the situation, I still recommend reinstalling Windows in UEFI since it offers several advantages over CSM. Ultimately, the decision is yours. If you prefer not to change, continue using the current setup. Should you face any problems, you can always reinstall later.
I noticed the same issue, could you tell me where I located this option? I'm really struggling here. EDIT: Successfully found it after searching, thanks!
Thanks for the tip, I've been searching for an hour to find someone with a similar problem. Upgrading an old PC for a friend, they're switching from an Intel 7600 to a new 3700x and B550 board, but Windows wasn't recognizing the BIOS. Hope your advice helps me too!
I just set up an account to express my gratitude. Most of the components in my build were updated, and I now have the MSI Tomahawk B550 with a Ryzen 5600x. It didn’t start at all, just the BIOS. I adjusted many settings until I discovered this guide. I performed a factory reset and then switched UEFI to CSM before restarting. Now Windows is working properly again.
You're facing a similar issue, but your setup hasn't changed much in over a year. You noticed an overheating warning and the system won't boot Windows. A wire got inside the CPU fan, which fixed the fan issue but not the boot problem. Some videos suggest checking UEFI/CSM settings under Settings → Advanced → Windows, but the specific folder isn't visible for you. Your M.2 drive and SSD appear in BIOS but aren't listed as bootable options. It seems the drives didn't fail due to overheating, yet Windows can't recognize them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
