How to Fix No Bootable Device Not Found

How to Fix No Bootable Device Not Found

Today we will take a look at how to troubleshoot and fix no bootable device found. There are many reasons for boot device not found and we will do step by step to diagnose no bootable device.

1. Remove any USB devices apart from Mouse and Keyboard
2. Check system date and time
3. Check CMOS battery and replace it if needed.
4. Is the drive visible in BIOS?
5. Change setting to UEFI or CSM Or Legacy
6. Disable Secure Boot
7. Reseat M.2 Drive or check cables on Hard Drive and SSD, also unplug them and plug them back or change connector
8. Reinstall Windows, I know it’s a pain, but it could be a windows problem.
9. Check to see if drive is bad. CrystalDiskInfo and Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools can be used to check drive, if bad sectors or errors, replace drive.

Just finished installing a new motherboard and CPU. Just about had a heart attack when I got this message. Your video helped me knock it right out. My blood pressure and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You are an absolute legend. Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial where I thought I would’ve had to take my pc to a repair shop. But thanks to you I no longer have to. Definitely earned a sub 👍

I upgraded my graphics card however when I turned the PC on I got stuck on the BIOS screen with no bootable drive found even though the system was reading my hard drives. Spent an hour reviewing half dozen videos with no luck. I then changed my search terms and watched your video. My CSM was disabled; after enabling it I was able to boot into Windows. Thank you! Your video was easy to understand and saved me a trip to the local PC repair shop. Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Thank you!!!! I upgraded my system today (my last upgrade was in 2015) and had this problem, and your video helped me fix it. Thank you!!!

[haloyo]

Thank you so much! I was stuck for 2 hours. Switching bios from UEFI to CMS solved my problem.

Like some of the comments mentioned already: if you are trying to breathe life into your PC after changing the Motherboard and CPU, most likely none of thesteps mentioned in the video will help: you will need to reinstall windows. It is really frustrating (instead of just buying another key and keeping your settings, you need to reinstall the whole 9 yards), but that is apparently how things now work. Just my experience.
