    Solved My DIY 2016 puter boots up I think but monitor window say no connection.

    I purchased Win10 in 2016 and installed it. In moving stuff around during our remodel projects it is lost. So I can't seem to locate the USB it came on nor the product key. Went to the site you said and copied the ISO onto a 32gb USB and it stopped during boot sequence and pop up as below in the...

    Solved My DIY 2016 puter boots up I think but monitor window say no connection.

    I think u may have misunderstood me. I remover the USB and restarted and it goes to the UEFI bios. Checked the Boot sequence and the Samsung 960 was first. It goes directly to that. I then put the USB back in and it stops at the screen in the attached photo. I then have to click on the top...

    Solved My DIY 2016 puter boots up I think but monitor window say no connection.

    Hello Phillpower2, I removed and reseated the M.2 drive again, no change. Screen message upon booting up with the USB drive: GNU GRUB version 2.06-13 then in a boxed window: *start LMDE 6 64-bit, and subsequent lines are similar. If I press enter it goes on to LM. No restart and select proper...

    So So Sorry, I meant that the LM boot thing worked and I can see the Linux Mint that booted up. Unfortunately we still haven't got the Win10 to boot up yet and not sure how we proceed from here. Yes I am happy any and every time we have made progress.(y) Kind of afraid to mess around to much in...

    I now have a Linux Mint DW6 or WD6, whatever is the latest LM, and I made it the boot and it worked. Now what do I do with it? ;>)

    yes the Windows is the first in the boot sequence and it is on the samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe drive. I do have a USB drive or can get one but all other computers in the house are Macs. I don't recall seeing a USB port enabler/disabler in the bios, but will look again.

    Solved My DIY 2016 puter boots up I think but monitor window say no connection.

    could only load 'optimized settings', I am guessing that is the default. I had already done this after clearing the cmos, but searched and could find no other reset for bios so I did it again. Nada, ie. no change. ASUS bios uses "bios setup utility" either EZ mode or advanced mode and I looked...

    Solved My DIY 2016 puter boots up I think but monitor window say no connection.

    Now I've gone and done it. I removed half of the RAM, leaving 1 in the A2 slot and got an A9 code, switched the RAM modules and still A9, put both back in, still A9, switched places and A9 in A2B2 slots. They are well seated, locked in but no change. So either bad RAM, Bad CPU, corrupted Bios...

    Solved My DIY 2016 puter boots up I think but monitor window say no connection.

    I had a PS/2 keyboard but couldn't locate a cable to get it hooked up. I push briefly the button on the top of the inputs on the MB with a circular refresh symbol on it so I went ahead and pushed for real. Don't know if it did anything except shut it down, but tried the second monitor again and...

    Hello, yes it has been plugged in to the black USB port only. Didn't realize where u were which explains the obvious time difference in responses.
