Thanks in advanced for all the help
(Sorry if this is wrong category don't exactly know what category this goes in)
So i have been using this config for quite a bit now and this problem keeps reoccurring
No boot file name received
I have been searching and troubleshooting for months now and i haven't found a fix
can anyone help

Steps tried to fix this issue is
Power cycling/Resetting CMOS (Opens for brief second then shows error again)
Unplugging and re plugging my SSD and SATA drives (SSD is my boot drive)
Rearranging the boot order (nothing changed)
Opening BIOS through windows (Only showed shutdown option)
Resetting my computer (No recovery drive available)
Banging my head against desk (headache)

To open the bios, you would have to use the F1-F12 keys, depending on the motherboard. All of them are different. But, as soon as you turn your computer on, you should basically spam the F2,F4 or F8,F10 key before it attempts to load windows in order to get into the BIOS.

Which motherboard do you have? I can look up which F key you would have to press.

The most common keys to get into the BIOS are: Delete, F1, F2 and F10. F8 usually gets you to a Windows boot menu and F12 usually gets you to a Boot device menu.

As asked, what motherboard is it? ASUS usually favors the Delete key. Use CPUz to get the make and model of the mobo. If an OEM system, what make/model is the system?

How old is this setup? Maybe you need a new CMOS battery.

This is your computer?

FYI: Thats the computer model, not the motherboard.

If so, it probably just needs a battery. You can get a CR2032, I get them from Walgreens or Rite Aid. They usually last about 5 years. There are guides on Youtube on how to replace it, but it's basically a silver disc on the motherboard that just slides in.
