Pc keeps booting into bios

Does it give any error messages ? For example, does it say something to the effect that the OS was not found?

Is this a laptop?

A 4 year old computer does not need to be replaced unless you are rolling in money. My 10 year old Intel Core2 Quad Windows 10 v1903 runs as fast as day one with proper maintenance. Now maybe if I play CPU + GPU intensive games then I would consider upgrading every 6 years.

If it Always boot into BIOS, then it could be due to several things:

. Your CMOS battery has died, and the bios detects that the date and time is wrong
. Your hard drive has died and it could not continue to boot

So after exiting BIOS, does it continue to boot into Windows? Or does it reboot and goes into BIOS again?

I'm not home right now to check it, but I'm 90% sure that the time and date was right, because i checked it when the isse first occurred

What would the problem be then?

It needs a CMOS battery to keep the settings otherwise it will keep booting into the BIOS because it loses the configuration settings.

Can you boot any other bootable media ie linux live usb, windows install dvd/usb, etc?
To access the asus quick boot menu, you hit the F8 key during POST and choose whatever boot media you want ie usb, whatever.

BTW I moved this to the hardware forum since it seems to be a hardware problem.

Can you see your hard drives in the Bios?

Can you see your hard drives in the Bios? Sorry about duplicate Posts, I keep having problems with the Forum server. Server Hangup

Hey

Sorry that I have not been active the last couple of days. I am now home and I just tried to change the CMOS battery, didn’t solve the issue. I’ll try to make another bootable media on a USB and see if that helps. Thank you all so much for your contribution.

Yes i can.

Hi again

My pc is now working again.

Yesterday i made a bootable media and found out that I couldn't access my SSD drive, nor could I repair it. So today i went out and bought a Samsung 860 250gb SSD, installed windows on it and ran the computer. It is now running perfectly.

Thank you all so much for your help! I really appreciate your contribution

What brand and model SSD? I want to tell my friend that says SSD's don't fail, Ha Ha. The Samsung you got is rated very highly.

Yes i saw that the Samsung one had good reviews

The SSD i had before was a KINGSTON SSDNow 120GB V300 SATA3 6,4cm (SV300S37A/120G)

You can see all the specs earlier in this thread

Thanks, I missed that.

When ssd drives first came out, I had two OCZ drives fail [both were replaced under warranty] Modern ssd drives are more reliable however anything can break.
