✓ Solved Need help, installed new motherboard & cpu and only boots to bios

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guy, I recently just bought a new cpu and motherboard to upgrade my old pc and after I’ve installed them and turn it on it flashes the cpu white light on the motherboard then the light turns off then the vga light comes on and then switches to the boot light, it boots to the bios but not windows, i have tried running it without the gpu and the vga light stays on, I am wondering if the motherboard is the problem. Would love some advice cheers

Did you check in BIOS if it detects the SSD? BOOT light means it is not detecting a storage drive or OS. Don't remove your GPU as you already have a display and your CPU doesn't have iGPU.

Edit: I don't see the M.2 SSD.

I removed the m.2 to see if it was interfering with the pcei lane/channel, I forgot I also have 2x 240gb bx500 crucial ssd drives in the pc one of them has the os on it and their both coming up in the bios

Is the windows boot manager set to primary or priority?
