If improperly allocated, this can result in decreased performance or compatibility issues. There are a limited amount of PCIe* “lanes” (the channels that send and receive data) that need to be properly distributed among the hardware that use them, including your GPU, expansion cards, and some storage solutions. PCIe* is the serial interconnect that allows the chipset and CPU to connect and communicate with hardware installed into your motherboard. If you’re using PCIe* based storage, such as an NVMe* SSD, that could also cause issues if your setup is not properly configured. The name might be slightly different, but you’re looking for the section dedicated to storage, likely called the Boot Priority or Boot Order menu. Navigate to the Boot section of the BIOS. To determine your boot order, restart your system, unplug any external storage or flash drives, and enter the BIOS by pressing the appropriate key during the startup process.Ģ. This can also cause problems if the boot priority is incorrect, or if your system is not detecting the primary storage device.ġ. Adjusting these settings allows you to boot from a disc or external storage, which can be useful for something like the BIOS update mentioned above.
If the OS drive isn’t the highest in the boot order, this could explain why it isn’t properly loading.
The boot order, or boot priority, is the order in which your PC scans available storage options and decides which ones to prioritize. We’re going to start with the boot order. There are a few ways to diagnose storage issues. The OS is installed on a storage drive, so the failure to load that OS can be indicative of a problem with the drive. There are plenty of resources out there that can be used to address OS-related problems. If you're able to access the OS, but are still having problems, you’ll want to do some software troubleshooting. Note that if your computer isn’t turning on at all - meaning nothing happens when you hit your power button, or when you do, it turns on for a second and then turns off again - we’ve addressed that set of problems here. There are many potential causes for this problem, so we’ll be walking through some of the more common issues to try and get your system back up and running. In this guide, we’ll be covering steps to take if your computer is turning on and your display is working, but it’s not allowing you access to your operating system (OS) and is stuck on the BIOS screen. This difficulty is compounded if you can’t access your operating system. Whether you’re putting a build together or your system suddenly stopped working, knowing where to start fixing a computer can be difficult. It can be frustrating when a PC doesn’t boot properly.
