Why Is My PC Booting Directly Into BIOS?
Asked by
TechieGuru42
I recently built my own PC using a Tuf-gaming B650-plus Wifi motherboard and an AMD Ryzen 5 8400F processor, along with 32GB of Kingston RAM and an RTX 1050 Ti GPU. After not using it for about three days, I tried to boot it up today, but it just showed a black screen. I reset the BIOS, but now it only takes me to the BIOS menu when I try to start it. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've already checked, and my SSD shows up in the BIOS boot options and is set as the priority boot device. I've also tried toggling UEFI and Legacy modes without any luck. Please help!

Check your motherboard for a coin cell battery. If it's dead, the BIOS won't be able to save your settings, which could lead to boot issues like you're experiencing. If the battery is dead, replacing it might help resolve the problem.

TechieGuru42: I changed the battery already, but it didn't solve anything. I'm still stuck going back to the BIOS or getting a black screen.
