Troubleshooting on new PC
Troubleshooting on new PC
Good evening everyone. Today I got my new parts: a Ryzen 9 9900x3d processor, an Asus X870A gaming WiFi board, and a Gskill Trident Z neo RGB kit running at 6000mhz. After putting them all together, I could not get the computer on at all. There was no boot, no bios, nothing. But once I updated the BIOS, everything worked! Now I can even log into my BIOS screen. My second problem is that it won't start Windows with a black screen and the error "no bootable drives detected." Nothing else helped me before either; on my old computer, this same error just meant I had to enable UEFI or Legacy mode because of where my Windows partition was set up. Now, after trying all those options like disabling resizable bars and testing both UEFI and Legacy modes at the same time, it still won't start. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks so much!
I agree with helpstar and other people here that you should do a clean installation of Windows. I need to know all your system specs because others need them before giving advice. You should check your hardware connections, reseat the cables for power, SATA, and USB ports. Make sure only one drive (C: drive) is connected to Port 1 when reinstalling Windows. Once your motherboard starts up and loads into Windows, install ALL drivers and updates. Then connect your other drives. Are you installing Windows 11 version 24H2? Please tell me. Thanks.
