Hello everyone — I recently updated the BIOS on my Intel-based desktop and since then I’ve had persistent problems with Windows 11 failing to boot properly. The PC goes through the POST and BIOS screens, but when it tries to load Windows I only get a black screen (or sometimes a looped reboot).
Here’s a quick overview of my system and what I’ve tried so far:
CPU: [Your Intel CPU model]
Motherboard: [Your motherboard model]
RAM: [RAM size and type]
BIOS version (before / after update): [old version → new version]
PC : Windows 11 (fully updated)
What I tried: clearing CMOS, reseating RAM, disconnecting all non-essential peripherals, enabling/disabling secure boot, booting into safe mode, attempting a “Last Known Good Configuration”
Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I’m hoping someone here has encountered a similar problem after a BIOS update and might be able to shed light on what could be going wrong — compatibility issues, UEFI settings, driver conflicts, or even a corrupted BIOS flash.
If you have any suggestions — or need more details about my configuration — I’d appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance!
