PC Or Windows Won't Boot After Disabling CSM: How To Fix Weird BIOS/Secure Boot Troubles

  • Sometimes you might need to disable CSM (Compatibility Support Module) within your BIOS - and 95% of the time this will work fine.
    But what about the 5% of times when you get LOADS of issues? These problems can range from the PC (or Windows) no longer booting up, to receiving weird monitor errors about the resolution.
    Thankfully there are a few simple fixes for CSM boot related problems (either within Windows, or at BIOS start-up time) - which I cover in this video.

    Dude, you can't imagine how much you have helped me! I switched to HDMI, it popped up again. Then I configured everything and boom, my pc is now working fine! Cheers mate.

    Hello I have a b365 ds3h motherboard I have enabled secure boot but my pc won’t boot it’ll keep sending me back to bios

    • @TechOverwrite
      @TechOverwrite  15 дней назад

      Hello, does it show the OS drive in the BIOS? It sounds like the settings you've changed mean that the drive isn't being detected (which is why the motherboard keeps sending you back into the BIOS). To start, I would check whether it's being detected, and naturally the file system type too. Good luck 🤞

    Hey bro, im using a Gigabyte x470 mobo, when i disable the CSM support the boot options disappear , NO DEVICE to boot windows from....can you help?

    • @TechOverwrite
      @TechOverwrite  3 месяца назад +1

      Hey, hmm so do you have secure boot as an option under the Boot menu? That'll probably need enabling. Also were you able to verify what partition type your Windows install was (GPT or MBR)? You may need to convert it if it's MBR and CSM is disabled. There's a few guides out there on updating your disk type.

    Hey man!
    I have the opposite problem. I enabled CSM. And turned launch video oprom policy from uefi only to do not launch.
    After that my bootup is longer. It’s only a black screen and before i could hold onto f2 to access bios (asrock) now it doesnt.
    I will try to use hdmi cable only. Do you have any other tips?
    When I am in windows I cant also get the advanced restart option(blue screen) to change uefi settings.

    • @TechOverwrite
      @TechOverwrite  Месяц назад

      Hey man, sorry to hear it 😕 Unfortunately beyond trying a HDMI cable and eventually resetting the BIOS (via the CMOS battery), I can't think of anything else obvious to try. Maybe Asrock support could be an option in this case though - it's sounds like a slightly more specific problem so maybe they can advise 🤞

    hey bro
    after I turned off CSM support, then went to secure boot, I turned it off, then I turned it back on, then I got a notification to restart, so I clicked restart and finally my computer wouldn't boot/no display anymore,
    Can you help me?
    What step for fix that or enabled csm when no display?

    • @TechOverwrite
      @TechOverwrite  3 месяца назад

      Hey bro, ugh that sucks. Uhm, I would probably try removing the CMOS battery - it sounds like something is out of whack with your motherboard settings. If that doesn't work either, try removing your drive (hard drive or SSD) too and see if the BIOS then loads. Good luck and reply back as needed 🙂

    All my drives are GPT including the C boot driver. C drive is a Samsung 970 NVME, the rest are 860 EVO. I have Windows UEFI mode set in Secure Boot but when I disable CSM boot gets stuck at the Windows logo and does not progress on to showing the usual circular progress bar as it loads Windows. I've only encountered this problem recently when I noticed Nvidia control panel shows Resizeable Bar is disabled and clicking on enable Resize bar in BIOS also disables CSM.

    • @TechOverwrite
      @TechOverwrite  Месяц назад

      Hmm, that's really frustrating sorry - nothing obvious springs to mind for a fix (beyond clearing the CMOS) but I'll have a dig around incase anything pops up. This sort of issue is why this CSM problem is so annoying - it's so frustrating to debug 😔

    • @TechOverwrite
      @TechOverwrite  3 дня назад

      Ugh that sucks. Are they both the right boot/drive type (e.g. GPT)? If they're definitely the right type for your BIOS config then try clearing the CMOS via the battery, and maybe look at updating your BIOS.

      Sorry to hear it. That's what I discuss in this video, but for an entirely black screen, I would try moving to a motherboard HDMI cable (if your CPU has integrated graphics) and failing that, remove the CMOS battery. I hope you can get this fixed quickly 😞
