Windows 11 won't boot anymore?
Hello everyone,
For some time now, I've been having problems with Windows 11 updates, and I've been getting various error codes. I've tried various tutorials, and even Microsoft Support couldn't help me remotely. I also couldn't enable virtualization in the BIOS (which I need from time to time), and then the computer wouldn't boot. When I disabled virtualization in the BIOS, it booted again. Since yesterday, however, it hasn't booted Windows 11 at all. I hear the startup sound and sometimes see the login screen flash briefly, and that's it. I also briefly saw the mouse cursor, but couldn't do anything. I've already tried rolling back updates โ it didn't work. A repair didn't work either. I then wanted to boot Windows 11 from a USB stick โ it didn't work either. Here are my data:
Asus Prime B550M-A
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
32 GB RAM
Kingston Fury Renegrade 2TB SSD PCIe 4.0 M2
Toshiba hard drive
Nvidia graphics card
I also tried a different monitor, but it was exactly the same. I've already considered trying to boot Windows 10 from a flash drive.
BIOS version is current โ 3611
I really don't know what to do anymore ๐

I'll put it together.
The PC does not start properly. Probably it boots as the associated audio signals are to be heard and the login screen is briefly hidden. After that, everything remains dark, which could indicate a graphics card problem.
You spoke of virtualization, which could be the cause of the graphics card problem.
Can you start your BIOS/UEFI? If this works, you should first try to put the BIOS on DEFAULT. If the PC is still unable to start, you should reinstall/update the BIOS. Your mistake is probably in the BIOS!
If the PC can start again and use "decent" is "the cow from the ice". If the PC can start again, but is otherwise "something confused", you can try different options: resetting to a system restore point, system backup or ultimately new system installation.
If you don't get back to your BIOS, then the sack is tidy! Here you can try to take the CMOS battery out for a few seconds. This resets the BIOS. However, all BIOS-side settings are set back to standard. Now I hope you had secured the recovery key in a bitlocker encryption. Otherwise, you may be able to restart your PC, but no longer access your hard drive because the system requires the input of the recovery key.

Here the hard drive is reclassified:
I'm still in the bios. I'll try to reinstall it tomorrow.
I installed the previous driver of my motherboard, which didn't work. I can't completely reinstall Windows 10 or 11. Then the setup told me that drivers are missing? I never had that.๐ซ
The BIOS/UEFI ensures the communication of the hardware with each other. This means that the drivers that the PC needs to function simply are located in the BIOS/UEFI. Profanely, the BIOS/UEFI ensures that the printed circuit boards are made clear.
If this is realized, the operating system is recharged. The operating system is the interface between the PC and its environment. In order to be able to function this, the printed circuit boards need not only be clear to one another, but also with the operating system. Here the system hardware drivers (the Windows drivers) come into play. They ensure that Windows โ together with the PCBs โ can communicate with the environment.
If the BIOS/UEFI "scatters" because any driver is missing, it is a hardware base driver. These are device-specific and have nothing to do with the all-rounded Windows device drivers! The BIOS drivers you get from the device manufacturer in the form of the so-called BIOS firmware. Go to the WebSite of your PC manufacturer in the support area. Search for the latest firmware for your BIOS. Pay attention to the relevant information about this โ a false firmware can catapult the PC to the junkyard forever!
If you have upgraded your PC with hardware from a third-party manufacturer, the error message can also indicate missing drivers for this hardware component. You will get these drivers on the component manufacturer's support website.
I can finally install ๐ It was actually a driver of my motherboard. I tried another one and it worked out. โบ๏ธ Hopefully it works after installation
All right! See you tomorrow!
Okay, I'll try. But now it's up to the drivers I downloaded, I doubt โ the problem was before. This driver has recommended the Asus Support for this. ๐ There is, as said, for the problem for Intel in the case of an extra driver for AMD not. I guess there was a problem with many. I haven't read a solution for AMD. I'll try everything you recommended tomorrow and give you feedback. Thank you for your time. ๐๐ปโบ๏ธ
SORRY โ I'm desperate!
Chipset drivers are system drivers that ensure the collaboration of hardware with the operating system. This means that these drivers are installed in the operating system โ so only after Windows arrives on your computer.
Now there's a guess in the room that your BIOS is now a bit "smart". You write that you have a little idea yourself. Then I no longer have to explain every step hairy.
ALSO โ in order to prevent any eventuality, I would now โ in your situation โ rewind the latest version of the BIOS firmware for your motherboard, hoping that after that everything will be in the lot. I would then set the newly placed firmware to "DEFAULT" and then try to install Windows again.
If any driver is required, it is a basic driver for the BIOS โ exclusively for hardware components that have been upgraded. These are also reloaded in the above-mentioned window. Please don't try to install any Windows drivers in the BIOS again!
I would ask the question "RAID" back for now โ stay with the AHCI version!
But that comes in front of this window with the drivers. I have chipset drivers and some others then packed, then I could select and install one (where I don't see that there's something installed) and then keep the window with the hard drives.
So no reference to missing drivers? No error message about offline hard drive? Access to the hard drive is theoretically possible, otherwise the window would be empty!
So my theory is very probable? :
I just didn't have the word in my head, so it wasn't possible and I should try another disk. Since the partitions and below are still available memory in the selection
OK โ we're getting closer to this!
If you can't do anything at the top, what error message is displayed or what exactly is to be seen in this window?
Thank you:) yes I know where to do that, exactly there I couldn't do anything. I also have a little idea of โโmatter. ^^ The RAID drivers were recommended to download in another forum.
RAID is the way multiple hard drives are connected to each other so that they can be used like a large hard drive. Practically this has no effect on a system installation. You can use the individual hard drives โ each as your own partition. Or you put the hard drives together (with RAID) to a large disk and then subdivide them into several smaller partitions.
Since your BIOS allows an activation of AHCI โ this is the right setting, only right when you use SSD!
Since I can't put any pictures here, I got this up in my first answer โ see above!
I had downloaded RAID drivers today and wanted to try this tomorrow
I've only tried Ubuntu for testing, because no Windows works. The BIOS is currently on AHCI, should I convert it for RAID drivers to RAID? I had put the bios back and didn't bring anything. I also didn't have the opportunity to reformat something in Windows Setup or the like. That didn't react. That's why I tried it with Ubuntu to rule out something on the SSD or hard drive.
I'm not really smart out of your descriptions!
Why do you need Ubuntu to format and partition your hard drives? This is done in connection with the Windows installation. The necessary tools are part of the Install ISO.
Your hard drives are recognized โ but you can't access them. Here any drivers/updates are required. This sounds like a raid system that has not been properly configured. Raid is set up in the BIOS. Reset your BIOS to "DEFAULT" and then try to install Windows again.
To do this, start your PC from your Windows installation medium (DVD, USB stick, SD card, ext. hard drive), and use the functions offered here to delete all partitions on the hard drive. The rest of it will remain ONE! "Non-aligned storage space", which should approximately correspond to the size of the hard disk!
You can now subdivide this as you wish. Formatting takes place automatically during installation. Install Windows (for Win_11 min. 150GB). In this case, two small system partitions are added automatically (โRecoveryโ and โSystemโ) in each case approximately. 500MB).
If your Windows installation is complete, you can use the now available on-board devices Manage your other partitions (format, rename, assign LW letters, etc.).
Maybe you can help me. I have been able to format and partition my SSD and disk via Ubuntu. At the Win 11 installation he wants to have updates. I tried it with different from ASUS. He takes it to(no matter which) and forwards me, but if I should select the installation location, I cannot choose the SSD or the hard disk. But both are recognized. I've been trying everything, but I'm not gonna go. For Intel there is an extra driver, but it seems that there is no for AMD. In the bios everything is set correctly, USB also works. Had found a driver at AMD for Microsoft 11, but this is an exe file and it doesn't find the setup. Can't unpack them or something.
It's a shame ๐ but still many thanks
Unfortunately, I cannot find any reference to the specified error code. I'm here in the end with my Latin!
I don't have the problem with the drivers anymore, but Windows gives the error after trying to install: Windows 11 Setup
Unexpected Windows installation error code 0x80042519-00021
I'm still turning through ๐
