Hey, I just finished cable managing my pc and now it wont boot?
It goes to start up then shuts off and then starts up and gets to bios screen and never gets past that. It will go into bios but takes about 5 minutes to do so, and if I try boot from my ssd (where windows installed) the screen just stays blue.
It also sometimes comes up with corrupt bios, and fixes that.
I have tried resetting the battery, that stopped the booting then turning off thing for about 2 boots before it said bios corrupt again and reset every thing and now it does that again.
My pc was running before this, and I have checked all the wires and still no luck.
Thanks guys.

Does it boot with the iGPU? If so then start adding one gpu at a time. If the issue occurs again then you obviously got a bad one.


Do you have a gigabyte motherboard? Sounds like a bios issue to me if it keeps saying that it's corrupt.

Please list out your PC components.

Do you have multiple storage devices? if yes, check and double check that ALL of them are connected to the motherboard and to the PSU. I had the same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. I cable managed my otherwise running newly built system and bam, I could not boot. It kept asking me for the boot device. Turns out, the connection of my HDD was lose which I redid properly this time. Even though my OS is on SSD, windows can put MBR on any disk connected at the time of installation and in my case it was on HDD, go figure! Then, in BIOS, I changed the boot device to that HDD instead of SSD and my system booted up fine. Its worth a check, I'd say.
