Please help. My computer won't boot past the bios, and will give me the code f3. I've tried re-flashing and updating the bios, re-seating my drives, graphics card, and ram. Before I was having this problem. I had tried to configure a RAID aray between my nvme ssds, but I wasn't able to actually configure anything... (the configuration selection was grayed out) so I abandoned the idea. I enabled the CSM setting, and somehow, that allowed it to boot from the sata drive. I also mirored my sata drive onto the 980, and it worked perfectly. Yesterday, I tried unplugging the sata drive and boot from the nvme. I didn't get a video out, so I turned it off to try to reseat the graphics card. I think that turning it off may have corrupted somthing?

 

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G

32 gb Corsair Vengeance RGB pro

Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero

Asus tuf RTX 3070 8gb

Samsung 980 pro 1tb

Samsung 970 qvo 1tb

Intel 670p 1tb

Could have corrupted the drive or damaged it. Do you have another system to test it with to see if it is functional?

Have you tried turning it off and on again? Maybe Restart it? 

Please make sure to Mark the Solution as a Solution.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt. I could be just about wrong as I am right.

I just plugged the sata drive into my old system. I booted perfectly, and I'm in windows.

The only thing you can really do here is to test each of your components in your old system to make sure they alll function...
