Strangest problem

[Jadyn Valvona-Healy]

So a quick summary is I was playing games, got a green version of the BSOD I've never seen before. Then 4-5 boots take me straight to Bios with no boot devices. reseated the m.2... and now the PC is not even posting.

 

I've tried booting without M.2 but no Post again

Booted without any Peripherals but no Post again

I think that your PC accidentally upgraded to insider mode because when i used an insider build the BSOD turned green. Do you have a seperate laptop that you could get the data and games off of your M.2 drive and then reinstall windows? that is the best thing i can think of. if that does not work, try reflashing your BIOS and then see

The drive appears fine in the laptop, but being wary of wiping it. If the M.2 was a problem shouldn't it still post without it in?

Are you in the windows insider program? If not it is probably a bios issue

Edit: i looked into this and it could be a cpu fan plug issue, try another fan port maybe?

I am, yes. And i understand it definitely could be a BIOS issue but it was posting strangely enough after crash untill I resat the M.2

[alyfrill]

hmm, this is a tough one. It could help if you say what game you were playing before it crashed

I can only re seat it as I only have 1 CPU Fan slot and one Case fan slot

Fortnite  and it's installed on a separate drive. My M.2 is only Windows 

[alyfrill]

Are your fans spinning up when you turn it on

[alyfrill]

try a different m.2 slot. could be a disabled slot or a faulty one too

[Jadyn Valvona-Healy]

Yeah my fans are spinning up and its in Bios, could my M.2 slot have died?

I only have a single slot 

[alyfrill]

Do you have the budget to go out and buy a new motherboard?

Yeah but honestly nothing over $200 AUD and I don't think that's much

[alyfrill]

Okay. So other people coming in, after another in and out of M.2 to check the slot, it's back to not posting and the fan solution that worked before isn't working now
