Inserted the nvme drive in the secondary slot on the mobo and once more 1, 2, 3 did not work.

Took out the nvme drive from the main slot and then 1, 2, 3 worked as expected.CMOS Jumper reset with cable and repeated 1, 2, 3 = did not work.BIOS update and repeated 1, 2, 3 = did not work.Booting into Windows from other ssd from other pc.Booting Linux Live directly from usb stick.Things I have tried (always paying attention to the boot order in BIOS and the source/disk): I know the title sounds like clickbait but hear me out… I got the parts for a new system, put it together, installed Windows and all drives, I created 2 partitions, C: drive for Windows and D: drive for files and various documents/folders, I used the PC with no issues for a couple of days and then (don’t ask why, I most likely had a lapse in judgement) I changed the ratio and base clock of the CPU in the software MSI Dragon Center (so not in the BIOS, I was in Windows while doing this and I used values under the default) and everything just froze.Īfter a while I gave up waiting and forced shutdown the PC with the on/off button, and when rebooting it wouldn’t start Windows and it got stuck in “Preparing automatic repair” and nothing happened, I tried with Windows media installer trying to get into System Restore but it would not work.
