Computer won't boot, pc on but screen never comes up.

DrRedonkulous · Feb 11, 2015

As the title says, my pc will turn on but never displays anything. It has done the before then over turning it off and on a couple times it would finally display a black screen with white text that said: Detected ATA/ATAPI devices... The system failed to boot several times before. You may press f2 or DEL to enter setup to reconfigure your system. Or UEFI will continue to boot after _ seconds. But now it will not even display that message.

The screen stays off no matter how many times I restart my pc... It probably wasnt the best idea, since I know nothing about BIOS or boot order, but I did change something in the boot order while trying to fix it myself but now I cant get to BIOS to change it back. Also sometimes when I put it into sleep mode, when I come back to it the pc will come out of sleep but the screen will not...

Try clearing the CMOS (unplug the power cord and remove the CMOS battery for a minute).

Alright, well I got the message back up after doing that. Would you happen to know what I should do now to fix the error message and get it to boot correctly every time?

alexoiu · Feb 11, 2015

Not sure what error message getting. Can you post a picture of the screen?

If not pressing any key, does it boot?

DrRedonkulous · Feb 13, 2015

alexoiu :

Yes, but only after I've restarted it a couple times. It never boots the first time, its like the monitor isnt detecting the input because it never turns on.

What storage drives using? What are the other components?

Sorry for never getting back to this. The problem was fixed by a fresh install of windows.

i know its a long time ago, but im having this exact same problem.

if i do any type of cpu overclock even if i only turn off turbo core or a simple 100mgz increase i get the same screen as you.

that black start up screen only goes away if i reset uefi setting to default in bios, i dont know whats causing it
