Hello!
I am having the issue with the "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or..." error.
I just replaced my motherboard, CPU, memory, and graphics card. I used to have my SSD, two back up internal hard disks, and one external backup hard disk. When I rebuilt the computer, I kept only the SSD to keep it simple at first. If it matters, one of the old hard drives had an old version of windows installed, so when I would boot up my old computer, it would ask between the drives. But with the new computer, it only has the SSD, graphics card, keyboard at the moment.
Anyway, now that I've rebuilt it, I can't get rid of this error. I can see the SSD in the UEFI. I have to manually set it to an SSD and not a hard disk drive. It doesn't make a difference though. I read some stuff online about Legacy Boot and CSM settings. Here are the settings I have in my UEFI:
CSM: Enabled
Launch PXE OpROM Policy: Legacy only
Launch Storage OpROM Policy: Legacy only
Launch Video OpROM Policy: Legacy only
I can't find anything that talks about Legacy Boot. The only other thing I can find in the UEFI that talks about Legacy is under USB Configuration:
Legacy USB Support: Enabled
PS/2 Simulator: Disabled
XHCI Hand-off: Disabled
I've tried playing around with all these settings, and nothing seems to allow the computer to recognize my operating system. I also tried removing the CMOS battery and then retrying. The OS is still unrecognized.
Unfortunately, my new motherboard does not have an IDE connection for my optical drive, so I can't use Windows repair disks. I do have an IDE to SATA adapter, but the UEFI doesn't see it. I didn't think to make a USB version before removing the old system. I have access to my work laptop, to move files via copy and paste to a USB, but I cannot run the Microsoft utility that allows a repair disk creation, because my work security features prevent it.
I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I am ok with reinstalling Windows. Nothing is on my SSD that's irreplacable. However, I would like some assurance that reinstalling will actually fix the issue.
Should I just take the computer to a computer shop? Is there some settings I could try that might work? Should I try reinstalling first (I imagine I'll just buy Windows again)?
What would cause the UEFI not to see the OS?
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4
CPU: Intel core i5-6600K LGA1151
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX480
RAM: Corsair 2x16 DDR4 3200MHz installed in slot 2 and 4
SSD: Samsung SSD 840 Evo 250GB
OS: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit
Thanks!
