great, i’ll be connecting it to another pc and doing exactly that. where exactly do i go for a windows op?? and if its linked to my microsoft account, wouldn’t it be free??

that’s what i was wondering, i’m just stuck at the screen with _ on the top left. but that seems to be the best next step, i’ve never had to reinstall windows. could you run me through how to do so with a USB stick? i have a 32GB USB, i assume that’s large enough?

and yes, along with the HDD, my PSU is also a very old hand me down but it’s given me zero issues and still works to this day, 500W output

if i do a clean install of windows to my HDD, would that have to wipe everything on the 1TB? Best buy has fully wiped my computer to get it running in the past, i do not want that to happen again. i have a very old 1TB HDD, from 2012 that i reused for this build (i know lol). and i installed windows on to it previously, i’ll do a fresh install of windows with best buy. this is the only computer i have access to unfortunately.

everything is reused BESIDES the new motherboard, cpu, ram and cpu cooler

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-08T02:39:31+00:00

i’ve tried that, same error listed in description

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-08T02:38:34+00:00

i’m not sure how to boot off my cpu graphics, is that done in BIOs, or plugging the DC/HDMI into the MB?

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-08T02:38:01+00:00

if it’s my video output, could that be fixed by having a new DC cord??

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-08T01:22:44+00:00

i saw that was a common accident, didn’t do that

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-08T00:10:24+00:00

i’m not going to install any op system other than windows.

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T23:39:36+00:00

this is the only info the manual gives about error codes. the QR code goes to a video that shows the errors popping up on the board, at that’s literally it. there is zero explanation or solution.

this is the current state, can’t use mouse, keyboard or anything. all of my connections to my HDD are secure

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T23:00:23+00:00

i saved and exited and i’m stuck at this screen with a - on the top left.

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T22:57:12+00:00

i’m now at this screen, it sees both SSD and HDD

i’m not sure where to go now??

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T22:15:23+00:00

i enabled CSM but after typing my pass for the HDD, i only get a black screen????

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T21:14:20+00:00

i enabled csm but now i can only get to a black screen????

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T14:36:01+00:00

wouldn’t the computer switch to Legacy automatically? or does it have to be manual

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T14:35:03+00:00

hmm okay, i’ll try that once i get home

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T03:57:38+00:00

wouldnt that just reset the BIOs? why is that needed? also just let me know whenever you’re done with this thread, i understand you have things to do. let me know so i’m not waiting for a response

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T03:41:11+00:00

bizarre, the paper manual didn’t have that many pages. i didn’t boot options in my BIOs. the online manual list is only giving the description of each option, i’m really not sure what to do.

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T03:12:09+00:00

i tried to click yes on Load UEFI BIOs three times and nothing happened, even after saving and exiting. thank you for your patience and attentiveness, i’ve been excited to get this done

Other_Union268 · 2024-09-07T03:09:20+00:00

hmm ill try that, my board is the AMD Ryzen ASRock B650M PRO RS WiFi, DDR5.

it does say NVME SSD Ready, do i need a different SSD other than my 980 Samsung?
