b]Problem description:[/b] Asus H81M-PLUS motherboard, booted into EUFI fine, could see all systems and attached media, CPU etc. Attempted to install Windows 10 from USB, files copied across, install going fine, when it got to a restart step it didn’t boot again: Since then, no combination of connected components, video from the graphics card or onboard, or any type of activity is seeing a boot menu. There’s literally nothing at all. Attempted fixes: What have you tried to do to resolve the problem? Unplugged all attached components, nothing. Reset CMOS battery, nothing. Reset RTC jumpers on the board, nothing. Downloaded the latest edition of the bios from the manufacturers website, copied to a FAT32 formatted usb stick and renamed according to the manual instructions. Still nothing. Recent changes: installation of windows 10. -- Operating system: N/A System specs: Intel i5-4690K Kingston HyperX DDR3 2x2GB Asus H81M-PLUS GeForce 730 GT Location: UK I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes I’d get Windows loving up the drive partitioning or something, but it really does seem like it’s wiped the bios completely, and I’ve never thought that particularly possible.

Yeah, I'd think it was a motherboard/RAM/PSU issue before much else. Installing W10 shouldn't hurt the BIOS. Have you tried using only one stick of RAM? Is the machine still POSTing?

Is this a brand new PC? Did you just build it? Did you format or delete any existing partitions when you started the windows installer? Windows installation doesn’t (can’t) happen until the initial boot process has finished. Are you getting any POST errors (beeps)?
