New Computer Not Booting Up

Last response: in Systems
Share

I recently got my new computer built and its starting to have a problem. For a few days it worked fine, but now when I turn it on it says "BOOTMGR is missing". I go into the bios and my SSD which my windows is one, is not recognized. So I think thats why its saying the bootmgr is missing is because the SSD is not recognized. Iv updated all of my drivers, I have tried plugging the SSD into different SATA ports, and also tried different SATA cables. After plugging all the SATA cables in different SATA ports I got it to boot up, but then the next time I turned it on it when right back to saying the bootmgr is missing..This is my first time to build a computer, and Iv done all I know to do. So can anyone give me suggestions on what this problem is, and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Which SSD ? You may need a firmware update .

But perhaps the first thing to try is to see if you have the latest BIOS for your motherboard .
I have seen some Asrock boards with UEFI BIOS behaving this way . An update , or even reinstalling the latest version of BIOS fixed the problem

Ok so it worked fine while it uploaded, and then I got off of it for a while. When I went to reboot the computer later, the same problem occurred. I went through the same process of downloading the BIOS update and it rebooted fine. Is this going to keep happening?

Once the BIOS is up to date dont keep reloading it . Every BIOS flash carries some risk and sooner or later you will brick the motherboard .

If the BIOS re=flash fixes the problem for a while
you should try and up date the SSD's firmware to the latest version

If that doesnt fix the problem then try cloning the SSD's contents to another drive .
Norton Ghost can do this , and so can a free download of Acronis True Image as a trial

Once thats done you can head to BIOS and set the alternate drive as the boot drive . That would tell you if the problem is with the M4 , or with your motherboard
