Booting to BIOS

Miguel_132 · Jun 17, 2017

I just build my very first computer recently and everything is fine.
But i have a small problem everytime i start up my computer. It always boots to the Bios and then i just have to exit the bios and then it starts normaly.
How can i fix this?
I have updated the Bios to the lastest version but still nothing

Sounds like you have the clear bios jumper set on clear.
Check the motherboard manual and make sure its shorting the correct two pins.

Can't damage anything.
With the jumper would either not boot or boot into bios.
Just make sure that there is no jumper there, that is all.

If that Jumper was set to clear, the computer would boot normally with default values every time, and not go directly to the BIOS.
The issue may be that some modern BIOS's allow you to set it up in such a way that it does boot in to the BIOS every time.
Look for that setting and change it.

There should be a small plastic rectangular piece that slides down over the pins it's very very tiny. Also verify that in your boot menu you have your OS drive set to number one or primary

and if it's not present, all is already well and we're on the wrong trail.

Hm... I dont have any plastic piece on my JBAT1 conector and now?

My board has this option but it uses the "reset" button to start up and enter the bios.

Wait until someone has a better theory, or possibly try a different motherboard (worst case the one you have is defective and you can return it)

Just a quick question though: Is that a m.2 ssd? Or one that hooks up via a sata connector?

This may be on the right track.

Are you sure the power button on your case is correctly routed to the "Power switch" connector, and not say the reset switch connector?

I will wait.
Try a different motherboard? That´s would be to much work ahah
It´s just and SSD conected to the sata connector
Yeah, the Power Switch is connected on the right spot and the reset too

^^^^?^^^^

Generally if it's booting into the bios and you don't have jumper pins it could be something as simple as you haven't set your boot options correctly or you need to clear CMOS you can either do that by removing the little round battery on the motherboard or there is likely an option in your bios to reset to default

Solaris17 · Jun 18, 2017

Lets backup a bit. Does it actually SAY anything before it drops you to the main bios screen? Like overclocking failed? or CMOS cheksum mis-match?

Well i have my ssd to first boot option and yeah i think i already tried to reset to default in the bios but i can try again!?
What happends if i remove the battery from the motherboard? Can it work without the battery?!

yes, but you must replace it for it to do so, i meant to remove/replace. but since Youve already reset it, disregard, and answer @Solaris17 ' question.

I have a ryzen system, and they are known to take longer to post an image on boot. I just see the that image (https://www.google.pt/search?q=b350...AUIBigB&biw=2560&bih=901#imgrc=zQwudDD-kWZD4M

for a split second and then goes to the bios, i just have to exit the bios and then it boots fine.

jboydgolfer · Jun 18, 2017

You dont have your hand on the Keyboard do You?? or is a key stuck? see if You unplug mouse KB, if it still does this

Try turning off "Full Screen bootlogo" (or similar named function) in BIOS. It should show us what it's "thinking" as it boots.

too add to this I know some systems are counter intuitive. If you dont see something like RTB describes look for something called "Verbose Mode" if its disabled enable it. Two sides to the same coin

this, and Pay mind to the Codes that are flashing on screen or on the Board...they look like this.....

on the board

or on screen it will say a 2 digit code like A2, A4 , etc...normally in bottome right

Nope the keyboard didn´t make a difference, i reseted the defaults again, change to boot from legacy+UEFI to just UEFI but nothing

I will try to take a picture, but for me it looks just fine

During boot i dont have any number showing on the motherboard, i just have the GPU Led always on but that´s because me CPU doesn´t have iGUP. But i have those EZ Debug LEDs for a splt second, witch is nothing i guess

What push buttons are on the board and what do they do?
