I cannot boot into Wondows but its a
Ryzen 5 3200
32GB of RAM
500 M.2 (Windows Device)
2TB SSD
I turned it on it booted into windows initially. But half the screen was wonkey. The mouse moved but the keyboard was unresponsive. I turned it off, upon turning it back on, it won’t boot into Windows it just sits on the Gigabyte splash screen.
Ive removed ALL RAM and same result.
I’ve removed the bootable hard drive and same thing
Aside from taking the CMOS battery any other ideas I can try?
To boot your pc, you need RAM and CPU installed. Try booting with only those 2 things installed. Ensure that all your connectors are firmly plugged in.
You can try different cables as that’s one of the easiest troubleshooting methods to rule out
I don’t know ryzen, but does that cpu have integrated graphics?
No. For am4 cpus it needs to have a g at the end of it. And do you have a gpu? If so, is your hdmi/display port connected to the motherboard or the gpu? If it’s connected to the motherboard then that may be the problem. If it’s plugged in to the gpu try going into the bois. If you can, then then I have no idea what the problem is. But if you can’t, then try resetting the bois by unplugging the computer and taking the cmos battery out and then pressing the power button for about 30-60 seconds.
no it doesn’t have on-board GPU
its a 3060 videocard it’s connected to the GPU and i see the Gigabyte splash screen
@user11209 No most do have intergraded graphics in them What you should have is the 3200G which DOES have graphics in it It doesn’t have the G in the name to have graphics
Are you able to to get in BIOS? Try removing the 3060 and see if that helps
If windows is installed on that harddrive, you need it to boot into windows.
You need RAM installed and a CPU as well, otherwise it will not boot at all.
I suggest talking with claude.ai or another chatbot to walk you through steps you need to take, as it can provide you quick results.
It may have been possible your keyboard was not plugged in.
With all due respect when I turned it on before this happened it brought me to the same screen I’ve been stuck on for the last 2-3 days. Even when booting with no OS hard drive I should still get a message No Bootable Device found and I am not. It just boots to the same Gigabyte Logo
Have you tried BIOS?
It’s stuck at the Gigabyte screen. I can try a wired keyboard to see if that helps. I’ve also swapped out the CMOS battery as well
If that doesn’t work remove the video card & switch to the cable to on board video if you have 3200 it has on board graphics
I did that yesterday after replacing the CMOS battery and still nothing. I’ll try a mechanical keyboard to see if that makes any damn difference…LOL
Roger if that doesn’t do it try just stick of ram at a time
Replacing the cmos battery doesn’t do anything unless it’s dead. What you need to do is remove it completely and unplug and/or turn the switch that’s on the psu off to reset the bios by pressing the power button for 30-60 seconds. (After you remove the cmos battery and unplug and/or turn the switch that’s on the psu of)

So I remove the CMOS battery, turn the PSU off via switch and hold the power button in 30-60 seconds?
It’s best to pull the RAM with the battery disconnect the power to PSU and let it sit bout 2 mins
do you have any diagnostic LEDs on the board?
