I just moved from home to uni and i brought my desktop with me and after getting everything hooked up I turned it on and got the title message as well as yellow text saying

"Go to Advanced > Boot > CSM Paramters, and adjust the CSM settings to enable the boot device"

I really don't know that much about computers, definitely not enough to start messing around with the advanced settings, but it was working perfectly fine until I got here.

I looked at some similar posts on this website and people seem to encounter this problem after making a change to the hardware. I haven't added or taken away anything I even took care to plug everything back in the exact same spot (not that it probably matters).

Thankfully I have my laptop to do work on so it's not vital to figure this out but I would really like to have it figured out

Thanks

Can you list your system sepcs?

Can you open it up and make sure the cables are plugged in tight? I would disconnect the SATA cables (assuming it's SATA and not ATA) from the HDD and motherboard, as well as the power from the HDD and plug them all back in. Also you might want to try plugging the sata cable into a different port on the motherboard... If that doesn't help I would go into BIOS settings and check the boot device order, check and see what order the devices are in. For example if it is DVD Drive > HDD > Removable Device, etc, then check and make sure there is no disc in the DVD drive that it's trying to boot to. If all else fails reset bios settings to default

What all USB devices do you have plugged into USB ports (i.e. printer, flash drive, etc)? If your boot settings are set to boot to a removable device before HDD then a printer or something may be interfering

I just unplugged everything except the screen and it still didn't work, when I tried before the only things plugged into it were a keyboard and mouse. The only thing that is different from when I used it at home is I don't currently have a ethernet cable plugged in yet whereas at home I did have one

You need to flash the BIOS. Get a USB thumb drive/ data stick. Go to http://www.asus.com/us/support/. Type in your motherboard model number ( at the top of BIOS screen). Download original or new BIOS Update. Insert USB into usb on the actual motherboard(back of desktop). Reboot PC. Go to Advanced Mode. Select tools. O.Z. Flash Utility. Select CAP folder that reflects what you downloaded from Asus. Usually is a large file, 8MB or so. Click "OK" to update. If you are uncertain, when on Asus website select the BIOS you currently are using. This info is on the main page of the advanced menu.

I have done this and it worked the first time. I am going to update my BIOS to the most recent version in hopes to avoid future issue such as this.
