Question Pc keeps booting into bios🙏🥹

What are specs of the PC?

Can the bios see your boot drive? Could be it isn't working now, hence it boots into BIOS.

What version of windows? Do you have a windows installer? Mainly ask as its a handy boot drive. You can download a new one from Microsoft
Win 10 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10
Win 11 - https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

making one of those (that matches your OS) on a USB, using another working PC, could help.If drive still works, we can rescue files off it.

Did it work fine last time you used it? No strange problems recently?

I can't say I know that PSU brand name. few places I found it suggested person get a better known brand. Not sure it would cause this though.

Its been a while but its possible the bios can see it even if drive doesn't work. I used to answer questions like this all the time...

this board?
or this one?
doesn't matter as bios manual doesn't show what I am looking for.

this might:

I have to assume the windows install is cause.

If you have a win 10 installer, put it into pc and , boot into bios and choose save and exit.
On this page, pick Boot Override
This lets you pick the USB installer as boot device for one startup, without messing with boot settings.
Choose USB from list and PC will boot from it
You will have to do that each time you want to boot off USB

boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info

that might help - its worth a try

Anything on PC you can't afford to lose?
  • on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
  • choose troubleshoot
  • choose advanced
  • choose command prompt
  • type notepad and press enter
  • in notepad, select file>open
  • Use file explorer to copy any files you need to save to USB another storage drive apart from C

I have to go to sleep (its 4am) but I will look here later.

If you can copy all the files off C, you can turn around and clean install if you don't have any backups
