Hey there! I just transferred my SFF project to a slightly smaller chassis. The build itself went well, with no major problems in the FormD T1. But once I started assembling, I ran into some challenges—cable organization became tricky and Windows wouldn’t boot properly. After the BIOS splash, the Windows circle appeared, then the PC would shut down abruptly and restart right away. I relocated the case and swapped out the AIO to ease things, which resolved the issue temporarily. However, the same problems resurfaced when I tried to boot from the old drive. I attempted several fixes: reseating RAM, running MemTest, changing the motherboard, reinstalling from USB, adjusting secure boot settings, disabling XMP, testing without drives, turning off XMP, and even using different USB ports. I even used Rufus with GPT/MBR partitions on the USB drive and tried Windows 10 and 11. Interestingly, it managed to boot into Ubuntu smoothly except for the displayport issue. The BIOS is now running the latest version. My specs are: Ryzen 9 7900, Asus B650E-I, 32GB DDR5 5200MHZ RAM, RTX 3090, and a Corsair SF750 with Lian Li x Dan case (A4 H2O).
