Hello. I have an existing machine that has been working well for years via Clover, until now. Below please find the description of the issue, what I have done so far and my system info. Any help is appreciated!
ISSUE
I left my machine on overnight. The next day it was not on (or something odd).
- When I booted up I get a message my bios was corrupt.
- The system did whatever it does to restore the bios.
- Then, I got the Boot Media / press a key error
--- Pressing the key repeats the error
--- Pressing F12 shows me the boot drive in the screenshot, but selecting the drive gives me the same error
- I have no idea where my original USB boot drive is. Will I need one to fix even though the machine was set up and working?
WHAT I DID
- I looked up my original instructions to set up the bios (TonyMac Link: post here) and follow the bios settings there (images attached). Reboot.
--- I wonder if these settings need to be different b/c I already have a system that has been set up.
- Despite that, I still get the boot error.
- Search for other peoples solutions
--- I disconnected all drives, except the boot drive. Tried the bios settings again. Same error.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. I use this machine to make music and I'd love to get back to work.
ALSO
- I have no VT-d settings in my bios
- I have no OS TYPE setting in my bios
- I don't see any CFG-LOCK or Secure Boot Mode settings
System info (also in my sig):
OS: Monterey
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z77x-UP5-TH
CPU: i7 3770K
Graphics: Intel HD 400
Bios Version: F4
