Haha oops. Which one is the CMOS battery?

My Mother board here https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B150I-PRO-GAMING-WIFI-AURA/

Might wanna check your HDD and SSD that causing you not to boot.

Best is remove those 2 and try booting?

I managed to boot up the BIOS, and the BIOS indicated that both the HDD and SDD were detected though

But I'll try detaching them and boot again

EDIT: Nope the BOOT_DEVICE_LED still lights up

Read your motherboard manual to find the CMOS battery.

Okay I don't know what I did but I just continued accessing the BIOS. The BOOT_DEVICE_LED went off!

1) Now apart from updating the BIOS, are there any settings I need to change in the BIOS?

2) Why can't the monitor detect the PC from the display port? The resolution from HDMI source is wonky

Set your boot device to boot from thumb drive or dvd-rom as your case maybe and install windows OS. At first restart during OS installation, change boot device to your SSD or HDD to proceed. Do not connect any secondary HDD until setup completed.

1) nothing much beside making sure the boot drive is your ssd and not ur hdd. unless u know other settings tuning for your bios, like power saving mode etc.

2) either the cable is spoil or either ur monitor or the gpu is the issues.

Yup was installing Windows, but they keep saying no DVD drives detected when both SSD and HDD drives are connected
