Hi Everyone,
Recently I had a problem with my computer where, when I turn it on, it freezes on the UEFI screen and after some time asks me from which device I want to boot. After I select the drive, the computer turns on and works normally without any problems.
This morning I decided to change the CMOS battery. I did and the computer would not boot. I reinstalled the previous CMOS battery but now, the computer boots and it doesn't freeze on the UEFI screen, but when I select the default drive to boot Windows, it tells me to load a proper boot drive.
For trouble shooting I did the following:
- Changed the sata cables.
- Unplugged the other HDDs and left only the SSD which has Windows installed on.
- Unplugged the SSD and installed it in an enclosure, plugged with USB to my laptop and the files were all there.
Is there anything else I could maybe try? I was thinking of formatting the SSD and reinstall windows, but if I can do something else it would be better.
If it helps, these are my specs:
Core i7-2600, 16GB ram, asus strix 1080, 750w PSU, 120GB SSD, 2tb and 500GB HDD.
Windows 10 64 bit.
Thanks
