Hello everyone,

 

i just build my new PC and installed windows and it booted perfectly fine, now after i had to unplug everything from the PSU (because i installed my watercooling loop) and rewired everything exacly the same the computer always gives me this error (see Attachment) and if i hit enter it puts me into the BIOS.

How i would fix it to just change my boot priority but here is the problem i can't select the SSD as a boot device in the prioritys. 

But the Computer is booting into windows when i select the SSD manually in the boot settings. And this is getting annoying to always go into the BIOS to get to Windows.

 

Motherboard : Asus X99 - Deluxe 

CPU: 5820k

SSD : Samsung Evo 850 - 500GB

HDD: WD Green 2TB

GPU : EVGA 770 SC

RAM : Kingston Furry 16GB

OS : Windows 8.1

 

i hope someone can help me :D

If you can get into the BIOS (usually F2 or DEL) then you should be able to turn off Secure Boot. The location of this will depend on your BIOS, but it souldn't be too hard to find.

Try this out then tell us if it worked :)

 

Secure Boot is one of the Windows 8 features added to motherboards by OEMs. They have to have it to get the "compatible with Windows 8" logo and in theorey it makes your computer safer by preventing unknown boot devices being used and supposedly makes rootkits and the like harder. It often works fine, but I've seen it vail before and turning it off shouldn't hurt you (if indeed that is the solution).

are you sure ? because everything wored before ;/

I don't know why this happened to you, but I saw it randomly appear on a PC after several months of using it normally. Disabling it shouldn't hurt your PC (but you don't need to turn on CSM).

 

Lots of info on Secure Boot here if you aren't sure about disabling it:

I hope this helps somewhat.

I can't even turn it off 

but i think the problem is more like that the BIOS doesn't let me select the ssd as a boot device and i don't know why :/

 

Are you sure you can't turn it off? You may need to look in "CSM" settings to turn it off.

 

This forum suggests that you will be able to change the boot order after enabling CMS and disabling Secure Boot:

Is there any indication why you can't change the boot order? Can you put any other devices to the top of the boot list?

Yes i can change every other hard drive but the ssd isnt listet 

Is the SSD not listed at all under UEFI devices or legacy devices (probably found in CSM)?

 

I presume the SSD is listed in the one-time boot menu and there are not problems with the drive itself?

Exacly it is listed in the one time boot thingi but not in the auto boot 

yes the ssd is fine i'm using the PC fine just the booting is a pain in the ass

Some have said that turning the power off for a few minutes has resolved this issue for them, but you have probably tried this (and it appears to be a temporary fix).

 

Others have said that turning on CSM has permenatly fixed this for them, so it might be worth a shot.

 

Apart from these suggestions I don't think I can go much further with this, sorry. Maybe someone else on the forum with more experience with Secure Boot could help you.
