Nexus Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hello all! I set up a replacement server and so far it's going well. One thing I can't seem to figure out is that I am getting inconsistent behavior when booting. Sometimes it will boot, and sometimes it will just hang at a BIOS splash screen. My new machine is running a Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. B560M AORUS PRO MoBo. This is my second machine, and the first one (not the same MoBo) I have zero issues. I *THINK* i have all the BIOS settings set up properly, buy curious if anyone has seen similar behavior. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Looks more like a board/BIOS issue, you could try disconnecting any external devices, especially USB devices except the flash drive, to see if it makes any difference. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Thanks. I will work on this - I did have a USB receive for my Mouse/Keyboard for initial BIOS config, I removed that and will test. There is nothing else plugged in to the USB slots except the USB stick. Update: It keeps doing it, but if I go into the BIOS and make no changes-and exit the BIOS it will boot from the USB. Weird Edited July 13, 2022 by Nexus Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Ok this has GOT to be incorrect. I opened a support ticket with GIGABYTE, and this was their response: Quote Unfortunately, the BIOS has limitations, and it does not have option to have such setup as your request. When system reboots after power outage, It is suggested to press F12 on Aorus logo screen to bring up Boot Menu screen and select the USB drive to boot up system. That seems outrageously wrong. I don't think I know of ANY MoBo that can't boot from a USB stick directly unattended. Edited July 13, 2022 by Nexus Quote Link to comment

Nexus Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Update: I changed FROM Fast Boot and it appears that I can boot now 1 Quote Link to comment
gbrune Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Thanks, Nexus. I was having the same issue trying to boot from USB. Every time I would bring the system down or reboot I would have to go into the bios in order to get it to boot again. Would make zero changes and exit bios, and then it would boot. Finally was able to get things working correctly after turning off Fast Boot. My Mobo is a MSI Pro Z690-a. I7-12700K.

Nexus Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Glad this thread was able to help you. I'd love if some of the big brains around here could explain WHY fast boot causes some MoBo's to be unable to boot from the USB. Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) I always turn-off fast-boot, but haven't link booting problem due to this setting. 2 hours ago, Nexus said: Glad this thread was able to help you. I'd love if some of the big brains around here could explain WHY fast boot causes some MoBo's to be unable to boot from the USB. For my understanding, if turn-on fast boot, then boot process won't wait all IO init complete ..... so that should explain why boot failure as USB haven't ready.
