MBR2GPT should really have a warning about running it on a boot drive on a non-UEFI BIOS (and probably even prevent it from running unless blatantly overridden).
I should've paused the video earlier but here now I pause at 7 minutes and 37 seconds, 2 years after this video was created to offer my deepest and most sincerest appreciation and gratitude for you Rich. I'm at the beginning of my tech journey and I've found out fast that if you don't know wth you're doing you have a 6 foot 8 280 lb guy name "Ain't this some Shit" looming around the corner ready to hit you square in the jaw. I didn't perform a backup or anything of course and it's the families computer. I type all this to say I now truly realize that there are moments in life where relief to this level can only be obtained in moments quite like this. You saved a family today sir, and more importantly a young man's buttocks. Thank you so much for real, for making a video like this but even more so for acting upon your decision to make a youtube channel, following through, and staying at it. You really are helping a lot of people.
After my mess with old hardware, I decided to debloat Windows and install a lightweight version. It runs great without all the bloat. Love all your videos. We've all been there at one point. Cheers!
Happened to me on a new system. It was only one of a few issues I ran into, including of course, a non functional thumbdrive. Had to buy one of those first. I am watching this for your guide as a 'after disaster' breakdown.
Secure Boot was put there to lock out better systems. It was bound to cause trouble. Turn it off, and your box is no less secure than one running Win 8. M$ is not interested in producing a system better than the competition. Doing it this way is far easier.
Something I always do when I build a computer for a client (or myself for that matter) I always have a second drive where I setup all the folders for the personal info and then I change the docs, images, etc folders to point to that second drive location. That way those files are always there and if you have to reinstall its a simple matter of redirecting those folders back to that drive and all your files are intact and accessable.
Occasionally I'll work on a computer that was originally set up with two partitions. A small one for the operating system and a big one for data. Unfortunately what's typically the case is that the bigger partition is completely empty and the smaller partition is completely full. What I typically do in those cases is wipe out the second partition and then expand the primary partition.
Hirens boot CD is also your go to hacking collection. It can jack windows password, modify registry etc. Great stuff. I am surprised it's not banned yet.
Hirens hasn't been updated since 2012 and doesn't work worth a damn. Plenty of tools are better and actually work. It'll never be banned because it's obsolete.
Always have a rescue usb thumb drive, especially if you only have one computer. Even if you only have one USB port, for example on a laptop, the Linux-based System Rescue CD has a boot option which copies the sysrescd OS to RAM while booting so that once booted you can then remove the sysrescd thumb drive and insert a second thumb drive to do backups or to download and extract a different ISO.
Ok, Partition magic got me back to MBR but my boot record was still messed up. I found a vid that ran me through some BootREC commands for command promt and that patched up my boot record enough to get my recovery drive to catch. Wow! What an adventure that was. But! I got it back and freed up 65 gigs the last ownder had partitioned. Thank you for the journey.
>> I believe you missed an edit, Sir -- at 4:20 , I think you were trying to show a link or the video And also, again thanks for the vid. Really helped cause I was actually looking for something like this since I do installation my own (Experimental-Still learning)
Thank you worked a treat. All stemmed from malware added to my laptop this week which I'm sure has disabled Windows Update. It's been removed, also the guy got into a few of my social medias sites and went to town on my Instagram account!
Thank you man this worked!. It didn't work the first time so my advice don't use a cheap thumb drive they don't have the power to handle this get a decent one and it works. I switched to one of the better thumb drives I already had and it worked like a charm only took 10 sec to load up and I was done in 2 min so thanks again! And I don't care about windows 11 anymore if you have to do all this to get an update then they can keep it!
I've followed all of the steps up until the clean up stage, and for some reason my pc booted off my original drives to boot up in bios, did I do something wrong?
so what it my drive is already in GPT and it has secure boot off, but when I turn secure boot on the system doesn't show bootable devices? I been looking around for a while I cant find an explanation on what I'm doing wrong...
hi, is there a way for my disk 1 to convert back to mbr aswell as my disk 0? for some reason my ssd got affected aswell which has all my games installed on it edit nvm I had to wait for the first one
I have destroyed boot system windows 11 and Critical process died is my message. My disc is GPT and tried all the tutotrials to fix the sytem boot partition but NO RESULT. 2 questions . 1) the convertion from gpt to mbr does not delete the data from the disc ?? 2) if this method is safe I will make bootable my system just it will be mbr after that ? Thank you in advance
man this is the only video ive found that knows how to fix this very niche problem I have, only issue is i plugged the usb drive with hirens boot cd onto it, and when i turned on the bricked computer, i've tried every single possible combination of the function keys, as well as looked at my documentation (cyberpower pc) and pressed f11 constantly to get it into the menu you had up on screen (where you could select the usb drive as the boot drive) as well as tired all the way from f5-12 with fn/without fn and everything in between. im at such a loss cause this computer cost me so much when I bought it and I do not have the money at all to buy another. need help asap 😭😭😭
But I don’t know how to make the menu pop up so I can choose to boot with the usb drive? I have a custom build gaming pc and when the screen is blank I can’t do anything. I tried escape f8,f9,12,f10 and none of these work
@CyberCPU Tech If the operation was successful and booting up (UEFI and GPT conversion complete), can I remove the partitions on the end? I have 3 (listed in order) "C:Windows (NTFS) 930GB" , "*: (FAT32) 100MB" , "*: (NTFS) 501MB" the last two have no letters assigned. I have no separate 'System' partition. Thank you for your videos on this topic. Part 1 got me through the process.
Should i follow the same steps with DISK 1 on my PC. DISK 1 says Basic GPT. Disk 1 has Recovery 450 MB; FAT 32 99 MB; other 16 MB; E: OS-WIN7 194.76 GB; NTFS F: 1TB-HDD 292.97 GB: NTFS G: 1TB-HDD 443.23 GB
My pc broke a year ago and i dont remember exactly what i did but i followed a different tutorial about secure boot but had the same problem, only the problem is that my pc keeps booting for like half a second and turns off again and keeps doing that. But if i remove my GPU it works just fine. Would this tutorial fix my issue too or do i have to do something else?
Hi, I just built a brand-new gaming pc and it is not detecting my NvMe Drive, the specs are MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus, Ryzen 7 2700x, Sapphire Nitro + RX 580 4gb, Gigabyte P750GM Modular Power Supply, G.Skill Ripjaw 4x8 = 32gb DDR4 3600mhz ram, Adata XPG Gammix s5 512gb NvMe M.2, Adata Sata SSD 240gb SSD, my issues are with the NvMe m.2 in M.2 slot #1 wont post at all then I put the NvMe in M.2 # 2 Slot and it boots to bios but bios is not detecting the NvMe m.2 drive. CSM is on but I'm afraid to change to UEFI because I have no clue about bios things, and I don't want to mess anything up. I read you must change to UEFI to be able to detect the NvMe but idk what that will do once I change from CSM to UEFI my nvme is brand new and never been used so there's no windows or anything on it currently. I installed the Adata Sata SSD with Windows 10, and it boots right up but in Disk Managment I still cannot see the NvMe drive at all, I'm afraid if I change from CSM to UEFI I may not be able to get back into bios my RX 580 on CPU-Z has the little UEFI box Check marked but I have no idea what I'm doing to get this NvMe to detect and work properly
my pc was using legacy and I followed the steps of the previous video and it converted it to UEFI? should my computer be alive rn? did I just get lucky im so confused
Question. So I followed all of his steps. However, it seems that I’m still unable to boot to Windows. Does that mean that I have to install Windows via USB? Note: I had a windows 10 watermark before I tried to upgrade to Windows 11
I couldn’t access windows after I did the last video, I tried reinstalling windows but now because i partitioned the drives I can’t install windows again on my ssd. Do you know how to fix that? Thanks
I know this is 2yro man but i did the mbr2gpt on a uefi compatible ga-a320m-hd2 and no matter what the system ive attempted to boot off my usb it wont boot fully it will just shut my screen off mouse and keyboard and i wont be able to shut off power... ive been trying to fix this for 5 days now and nothing i do seems to work... it let me load files showed the windows logo and boom crashed any ideas? Ive heard the possibility of hardware damage but i find it farfetched to be such if the mbr2gpt is what caused my boot problem... (my pc hasnt had any issues prior to mbr2gpt on start up... i should have just done the work around)
I have a problem don't know if it has to do with UEFI. But I have a Dell T3500 WORKSTATION and I know it's probably 8 or 10 years old and when I hit F12 to get to the USB boot option there is no boot option for USB. The hard drive is a MBR.
How you doing sir. I just had a problem on my system where my pc won’t boot my windows. I have windows installed on a m.2 got and I do use uefi boot settings on my bios it just won’t do anything windows recovery can’t access the files I have windows on a usb but repair tools didn’t work. All this happened after I installed some uad drivers for an audio interface I didn’t restart the pc when it asked me to I wanted to restart later but I had a blue screen that night and that’s how started so I need to see what way should I go if I try to rebuilt the boot manager with cmd will I lose all my data? One thing that is strange is that is not even going to windows it just skips that completely and sends me to bios
Bro I have half way through by following ur steps and still the bios not showing up. Cpu is working and monitor showing no signal entering power saving. Please help
hirens boot cd i've got still installed on a usb stick, almost forgot about actually ;p, would it worl on windows 11 aswell? i guess so but aint sure, i like your content it is well explained.
I have this problem that my screen has no signal. I have tried using 2 separate USBs but neither worked. This issue only occured after enabling SecureBoot. I have also tried pressing multiple buttons trying to boot from USB but none of them worked. I took out the graphics card and plugged my screen directly into the motherboard to see if that would work but that also lead to the same outcome: no signal. Do you have any idea how I can fix this?
@@kevinantonius8821 So I fixed the problem. It did cost me some money. My CPU did not have integrated graphics so when I plugged my HDMI cable into my motherboard it did not give out any signal. Obviously my GPU also did not give any signal. I had to buy a CPU that was compatible with my motherboard that did have integrated graphics so when I plugged my HDMI cable into my motherboard it did give a signal to my monitor so that I could turn of Secure Boot and put my original CPU back into my motherboard. After that my GPU finally started giving the signal to my monitor.
i need to turn secure boot off before i install a gpu in my old dell 7010.it's in legacy mode as well, i don't know if i have to be in uefi mode.i heard some gpu cards run badly in legacy mode.
I just got the issue but my pc get an error message, I forced it to power off then power on again entered Bios and then disable the secure boot and the same issue kept going I went back and enabled CSM and Everything worked
I've had it for probably about 5 years. However, I've completely cut it off twice during that time. Every single time I cut it off I deeply regret it before the hair hits my bathroom counter.
Here is an interesting issue I came across. I was running Windows 11 when all of a sudden while I was watching YT, it froze. I rebooted and was brought to the recovery screen. I tried booting from my Win 11 Install flash drive. No go. Same screen. Grabbed my laptop, and created an install USB for WIn10. No problem. Curious about my problem, I started looking into it. I update my BIOS to the latest Gigabyte BIOS for my MB. It was only outdated by one step, which had already fixed Win 11 problems with fTPM. I converted my Boot partition to GPT. No problem. Made sure Secure Boot was turned on, and fTPM. I still can't load a USB drive with Win 11 install. As soon as I turn on eitherr fTPM or Secure Boot, I get the Recovery screen. Either it's the GDP blue screen or winload.efi bluescreen. Strange as all heck. Since I WAS running Win 11 without problems since October of Last year. Any ideas man? I'm guessing I have to rebuild my GDP boot file, but not 100% sure. Seems to be the only thing I haven't tried yet.
My bios is UEFI, I tried to enable secured boot and it worked until i restart. no display after that. I reset my bios, now display is back but secured boot is turned off.
Bro at first excuse my english, I followed another youtuber to enable secure boot , he go to something named platform key or something after I clicked on it I ruined my bios & my pc doesn't boot again Is this solution u gave have to do with my issue ?
Wait I did not do anything you did to create this problem all I did was turn on secure boot in bios and this happened, my question will doing this fix my issue? Thanks
Never mind I shut of the power and took out the cmos battery for 5 minutes doing a hard reset on the bios, put the battery back in and the system asked to set the bios…. My problem solved
Sir my PC boots slow It shows the windows logo easily but takes too much time on the loading screen after following the steps from your other video about converting MBR to GPT and legacy to UEFI
My only question I think I have is in my bios it is set to legacy my original hard drive is set to GPT and it works fine my new one which is an SSD is not so I guess my question would be if I change it to GPT should I be changing it in the bios as well
My system bios is on UEFI only. Today I enabled secured boot because bloody game " Valorant" won't run without Secure Boot. But my screen went black after enabling Secure Boot. CPU switches on. RGBs work. But not display.not even boot screen. Is there a fix for it.
i have a UEFI BIOS, everything runs fine but when i enable secure boot in able to play valorant now i am stuck on 60hz with no option to change. i cannot detect a second monitor and many apps freeze and will not open. i switch to disable secure boot and everything works fine again can’t find a fix anywhere so would appreciate help
I wanted to play valorant, but my computer bricked up, and I didn't have a qflash+ feature, and had to get a new motherboard, but instead got a better PC. man, fuck valorant
Before doing anything...check your bios settings and see if you can find the relevant options to do this. convert mbr to gpt... MS has a tool for that. Google or youtube it. After doing this you will have to go into bios as the next step as your OS will not boot up. From bios select UEFI instead of legacy option and enable secure boot. You might as well enable tpm 1.2 or 2 since you are already here. Restart PC and it should boot to OS.
after secure boot y have a black screen, removing motherboard battery to clear CMOS didnt work. any idea what i could do to reset my bios to factory? i have a gigabyte b450 v2
As soon as it's done loading files a windows logo come up. The loading circle starts spinning then the system restarts. This keeps doing the same thing ever time.
So I was in GPT 100% and still had a boot loop after setting secure boot. Idk my system is a dual bios (aorus b450M) apparently but it gives me the option to disable csm, secure boot, etc...any ideas why it still happened?
Have you ever found a fix? I have a gigabyte a320m it has uefi, secure boot and csm but no matter what combo of disable or enable i cant seem to get any installers to boot fully... screen just turns black and makes me hard reset using the power switch on psu if you have a fix please let me know
My pc started crashing .. so I did all basic test like chkdsk,sfc,dism I even did memtest86 to check ram ..none of it showed errors ....so I fully uninstalled graphics driver in safe mode using ddu and installed it ..still my pc crashed so I i reset my and while resetting the reset stopped and I have no os .only gigabyte bios ran at that time ...so I turned on secure mode but now my pc does not even post .. need help plz.. I'm from India so there isn't much support.i saw your videos they where good .. again please help me what should I do
I did a clean boot on my 2nd pc and after an hour it finished, got my first PC started but the partition application fails to boot correctly and closes! help!
You should still be able to boot from UEFI even with legacy support enabled. It just might be a little more complicated to setup the boot order. What motherboard are you using? Maybe a bios update will help.
@@Loleck What solved it for me is I ended up flashing the BIOS with the most updated version of the BIOS. If you have a usb slot and the button for that maybe you can solve it that way too. But I'd call the manufacturer of your motherboard's customer support team first. Because sometimes you have to do some earlier updates first. Or if you have integrated graphics in your CPU, you could remove your graphics card, reset your CMOS, and plug an hmdi into your motherboard. Then you should get a display to access your BIOS if you tap delete on startup.
@@Specialist1Aim Yeah this was a nightmare to deal to with. Make sure your bios is updated before trying to change the setting. Go to the manufacturer's website for your motherboard and see if there's any new updates. If you are confused call their support number.
My thumb drive gets used on tons of different computers and I've had compatibility problems with that before. I boot from my thumb drive daily on a wide range of customer computers and I've had the best luck with partition magic.
pc does not boot no signal through rx 470 when i turn csm off , any vids on this , i can fix by connecting to motherboards display out going back to bios and enable csm , but that doesn't fix my problem , i need csm off
@@OmarEGomaa @dogsday52170 @dogsday52170 only way i could get it to work was to set up bios the way it was needed and reinstall windows , every time i tried with out reinstalling i couldn't get video , i already had gpt and uefi when i tried , i think it had something to do with windows being installed with csm turned on in bios and set to legacy plus uefi when i first installed windows a few years ago , if you reinstall also set os boot to uefi only instead of other os and turn off csm before install , i also turned on tpm but that's so it would support win 11

I know this is 2yro man but i did the mbr2gpt on a uefi compatible ga-a320m-hd2 and no matter what the system ive attempted to boot off my usb it wont boot fully it will just shut my screen off mouse and keyboard and i wont be able to shut off power... ive been trying to fix this for 5 days now and nothing i do seems to work... it let me load files showed the windows logo and boom crashed any ideas? Ive heard the possibility of hardware damage but i find it farfetched to be such if the mbr2gpt is what caused my boot problem... (my pc hasnt had any issues prior to mbr2gpt on start up... i should have just done the work around)
I have a problem don't know if it has to do with UEFI. But I have a Dell T3500 WORKSTATION and I know it's probably 8 or 10 years old and when I hit F12 to get to the USB boot option there is no boot option for USB. The hard drive is a MBR.
is this applicable to windows 11? secure boot just puts me into a boot loop and i gotta remove the cmos battery to reset bios.
Can TPM prevent installing a Entire Machine Backup from iDrive to the same computer?
I have a uefi system and my drives are gpt but after i enabled secure boot my pc wont boot and there is no display please help
How you doing sir. I just had a problem on my system where my pc won’t boot my windows. I have windows installed on a m.2 got and I do use uefi boot settings on my bios it just won’t do anything windows recovery can’t access the files I have windows on a usb but repair tools didn’t work. All this happened after I installed some uad drivers for an audio interface I didn’t restart the pc when it asked me to I wanted to restart later but I had a blue screen that night and that’s how started so I need to see what way should I go if I try to rebuilt the boot manager with cmd will I lose all my data? One thing that is strange is that is not even going to windows it just skips that completely and sends me to bios
Bro I have half way through by following ur steps and still the bios not showing up. Cpu is working and monitor showing no signal entering power saving. Please help
I have this same problem what did you do???
hirens boot cd i've got still installed on a usb stick, almost forgot about actually ;p, would it worl on windows 11 aswell? i guess so but aint sure, i like your content it is well explained.
I have this problem that my screen has no signal. I have tried using 2 separate USBs but neither worked. This issue only occured after enabling SecureBoot. I have also tried pressing multiple buttons trying to boot from USB but none of them worked. I took out the graphics card and plugged my screen directly into the motherboard to see if that would work but that also lead to the same outcome: no signal. Do you have any idea how I can fix this?
Same here, are ur problem solved bro?
@@kevinantonius8821 So I fixed the problem. It did cost me some money. My CPU did not have integrated graphics so when I plugged my HDMI cable into my motherboard it did not give out any signal. Obviously my GPU also did not give any signal. I had to buy a CPU that was compatible with my motherboard that did have integrated graphics so when I plugged my HDMI cable into my motherboard it did give a signal to my monitor so that I could turn of Secure Boot and put my original CPU back into my motherboard. After that my GPU finally started giving the signal to my monitor.
I'm locked out after trying to reset an acer nitro. What can I do to fix it?
i need to turn secure boot off before i install a gpu in my old dell 7010.it's in legacy mode as well, i don't know if i have to be in uefi mode.i heard some gpu cards run badly in legacy mode.
the boot configuration data store could not be opened the requested system device cannot be found how could I fix this issue please
I just got the issue but my pc get an error message, I forced it to power off then power on again entered Bios and then disable the secure boot and the same issue kept going I went back and enabled CSM and Everything worked
i gotta ask. how long has that beard been in the making?
I've had it for probably about 5 years. However, I've completely cut it off twice during that time. Every single time I cut it off I deeply regret it before the hair hits my bathroom counter.
So if my bios has uefi i can safely turn on secure boot?
Or clone the drive to an SSD if still on an HDD. Then you swap and have your data on safe on the old disk.
Here is an interesting issue I came across. I was running Windows 11 when all of a sudden while I was watching YT, it froze. I rebooted and was brought to the recovery screen. I tried booting from my Win 11 Install flash drive. No go. Same screen. Grabbed my laptop, and created an install USB for WIn10. No problem. Curious about my problem, I started looking into it. I update my BIOS to the latest Gigabyte BIOS for my MB. It was only outdated by one step, which had already fixed Win 11 problems with fTPM. I converted my Boot partition to GPT. No problem. Made sure Secure Boot was turned on, and fTPM. I still can't load a USB drive with Win 11 install. As soon as I turn on eitherr fTPM or Secure Boot, I get the Recovery screen. Either it's the GDP blue screen or winload.efi bluescreen. Strange as all heck. Since I WAS running Win 11 without problems since October of Last year. Any ideas man? I'm guessing I have to rebuild my GDP boot file, but not 100% sure. Seems to be the only thing I haven't tried yet.
Your issue is a little weird. 🧐
@@K008gr yes it is. Could be the TPM module is no longer functional. Would make sense.
Yeah nothing has worked. Time to hit up the pc store...
Seems like the UEFI was put in like concrete.
My bios is UEFI, I tried to enable secured boot and it worked until i restart. no display after that. I reset my bios, now display is back but secured boot is turned off.
How would you get a bios that would support a secure boot option.
Its a fundamental hardware difference. You would need a motherboard that was designed with a UEFI BIOS.
@@CyberCPU right because even if I save my computer I’m just back where I was before. Can I simply put in a new motherboard and transfer everything?
Bro at first excuse my english, I followed another youtuber to enable secure boot , he go to something named platform key or something after I clicked on it I ruined my bios & my pc doesn't boot again
Is this solution u gave have to do with my issue ?
Wait I did not do anything you did to create this problem all I did was turn on secure boot in bios and this happened, my question will doing this fix my issue? Thanks
Never mind I shut of the power and took out the cmos battery for 5 minutes doing a hard reset on the bios, put the battery back in and the system asked to set the bios…. My problem solved
I turned on ufei secure boot in bios while i was loading a o.s and now no display.i own a dell precision t1700 any help?
did u fix it?
no dident work ,having the same issue?@@OmarEGomaa
Thank you soo much you really helped me with this. Appreciate this.
Sir my PC boots slow It shows the windows logo easily but takes too much time on the loading screen after following the steps from your other video about converting MBR to GPT and legacy to UEFI
Please help
@@TechLrns lol 🤣
My only question I think I have is in my bios it is set to legacy my original hard drive is set to GPT and it works fine my new one which is an SSD is not so I guess my question would be if I change it to GPT should I be changing it in the bios as well
My system bios is on UEFI only. Today I enabled secured boot because bloody game " Valorant" won't run without Secure Boot. But my screen went black after enabling Secure Boot. CPU switches on. RGBs work. But not display.not even boot screen. Is there a fix for it.
Sorry for getting your hopes up with the comment. But just to say I have the same problem.
i have a UEFI BIOS, everything runs fine but when i enable secure boot in able to play valorant now i am stuck on 60hz with no option to change. i cannot detect a second monitor and many apps freeze and will not open. i switch to disable secure boot and everything works fine again
can’t find a fix anywhere so would appreciate help
I wanted to play valorant, but my computer bricked up, and I didn't have a qflash+ feature, and had to get a new motherboard, but instead got a better PC. man, fuck valorant
Hello , i enable secure boot but i get black screen i try to remove battery but nothing happend
did u fix it?
Do i get my old files back?
So... how can someone with legacy bios enable secure boot? What's the order for us, set my bios to UEFI? or will that mess it up.
Before doing anything...check your bios settings and see if you can find the relevant options to do this. convert mbr to gpt... MS has a tool for that. Google or youtube it. After doing this you will have to go into bios as the next step as your OS will not boot up. From bios select UEFI instead of legacy option and enable secure boot. You might as well enable tpm 1.2 or 2 since you are already here. Restart PC and it should boot to OS.
Hi I can’t even open any app over click on the search bottom left corner. When I click on it It does nothing it hard to open any apps please help
after secure boot y have a black screen, removing motherboard battery to clear CMOS didnt work. any idea what i could do to reset my bios to factory? i have a gigabyte b450 v2
Qflash. look it up.
I fixed mine by just restoring default settings in bios. Changing boot order didn’t work for me.
White dot in my Asus vivobook is not blinking what should I do
As soon as it's done loading files a windows logo come up. The loading circle starts spinning then the system restarts. This keeps doing the same thing ever time.
So I was in GPT 100% and still had a boot loop after setting secure boot. Idk my system is a dual bios (aorus b450M) apparently but it gives me the option to disable csm, secure boot, etc...any ideas why it still happened?
Have you ever found a fix? I have a gigabyte a320m it has uefi, secure boot and csm but no matter what combo of disable or enable i cant seem to get any installers to boot fully... screen just turns black and makes me hard reset using the power switch on psu if you have a fix please let me know
When you convert mbr to gpt, dont you have to go into the bios on restart and select boot to UEFI?
Yes.
My usb wont boot i press f12 and f8 gigabyte motherboard
UEFI bios ?? there are board that still have a real Bios???
My pc started crashing .. so I did all basic test like chkdsk,sfc,dism I even did memtest86 to check ram ..none of it showed errors ....so I fully uninstalled graphics driver in safe mode using ddu and installed it ..still my pc crashed so I i reset my and while resetting the reset stopped and I have no os .only gigabyte bios ran at that time ...so I turned on secure mode but now my pc does not even post .. need help plz.. I'm from India so there isn't much support.i saw your videos they where good .. again please help me what should I do
Thank you man i will try tommorow and rewrite this comment

Hey CyberCpu Tech, whenever i disabled csm support it gets enabled on its own. What should i do to resolve this issue ?
You should still be able to boot from UEFI even with legacy support enabled. It just might be a little more complicated to setup the boot order.
What motherboard are you using? Maybe a bios update will help.
@@CyberCPU the motherboard i am using is Aorus b450m elite

I can't get in bios after converting from mbr to gpt please help
My computer has a UEFI BIOS and I got this problem where my computer won’t boot after enabling secure boot.
Same here didn't find solution yet
@@Loleck What solved it for me is I ended up flashing the BIOS with the most updated version of the BIOS. If you have a usb slot and the button for that maybe you can solve it that way too. But I'd call the manufacturer of your motherboard's customer support team first. Because sometimes you have to do some earlier updates first. Or if you have integrated graphics in your CPU, you could remove your graphics card, reset your CMOS, and plug an hmdi into your motherboard. Then you should get a display to access your BIOS if you tap delete on startup.
@@jons2cool1I have to take apart Pc just to turn on one setting ??? 😅😅 no thanks
@@Specialist1Aim Yeah this was a nightmare to deal to with. Make sure your bios is updated before trying to change the setting. Go to the manufacturer's website for your motherboard and see if there's any new updates. If you are confused call their support number.
@@jons2cool1 You have to disable CSM first I thought, and did you also convert your partitions first ??
Why not use Ventoy in your thumbdrive. Then You can have as many ISO's as You like, without using a program like Rufus. Works like a charm for me!
My thumb drive gets used on tons of different computers and I've had compatibility problems with that before. I boot from my thumb drive daily on a wide range of customer computers and I've had the best luck with partition magic.
Ugh what have I gotten myself into 😭
pls help me i have this problem
Thanks for your sharing
pc does not boot no signal through rx 470 when i turn csm off , any vids on this , i can fix by connecting to motherboards display out going back to bios and enable csm , but that doesn't fix my problem , i need csm off
did u fix it?
@@OmarEGomaa @dogsday52170
@dogsday52170
only way i could get it to work was to set up bios the way it was needed and reinstall windows , every time i tried with out reinstalling i couldn't get video , i already had gpt and uefi when i tried , i think it had something to do with windows being installed with csm turned on in bios and set to legacy plus uefi when i first installed windows a few years ago , if you reinstall also set os boot to uefi only instead of other os and turn off csm before install , i also turned on tpm but that's so it would support win 11
