Asus Bios Update Utility Download

[Brigitta Martini]

MyAsus laptop had Endless OS installed and I wanted to switch to Ubuntu 18. So I followed the instructions to install Ubuntu in the machine, erasing all of the Endless OS (no dual boot). I was able to get to the bios, changed the boot order and installed Ubuntu (it went through a complete install).

For me, launch CSM support was disabled and grayed out. I tried disabling fast boot and after restarting, ubuntu booted up just fine! Thought I would share here in case other asus laptop users run into the same problem.

I don't know what version of ASUS I have, but it is relatively new, a few months ago my computer started booting in BIOS, but I thought nothing of it as I could still boot just fine, just had to press escape to boot, but a few weeks ago my computer wouldn't boot when I pressed escape, there is also no installed storage drive, as well as no boot options in the boot menu, and the boot priority list is blank. I tried to find fixes myself, but didn't find any because I don't know what version my ASUS is, if you could please help me that would be great.

From what you have said and assuming that the hard drive is still in the computer and there have been no attempts to open the computer or remove the drive it could be a hard drive failure. That would then not report to a system post the hard drive as available.

Is the laptop still able to get to the BIOS ? if I have understood you right I would personally use a bootable USB drive and set the BIOS to allow to boot from USB. if that will boot for you then it could well be a simple case of a replacement hard drive

You can download the tools to either make a USB boot drive drive from a USB or download the image of one and use that to create it but either way its very simple and lots of tutorials online you can find using a search engine

Ok, so if I'm understanding you, I should essentially load windows onto a flash drive and boot from that? And the only possible problem is a bad hard drive? Also, to answer your question, yes it does boot to BIOS.

Any bootable USB does not need to be windows just a bootable USB for anything if it loads without an issue it would point to a failed internal hard drive so then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows and problem sorted

It may be that you cannot boot using a USB if the boot options are not showing. It may not look at the USB to boot from if the boot order is missing The HDD may have been the only enabled option for example

But in a situation whereby the hard drive is completely removed and the system still boot to bios. All of the above solution have been tried, thanks for all your advice, but the system still boot to bios. Wht next?

I found that some PCs will not boot off a USB drive. some examples, most windows XP machines, older macs, I'd say use a windows installation disk as in BIOS the order is always defaulted to Cd drive first, HDD second. makes it so non technical users dont have to mess with the BIOS and just pop in the windows CD.

I have an asus rog strix scar. No devices in the bootable drives menu, but it does recognize my 1tb ssd. I tried using a usb windows 11 bootable drive but it leads me to error screens. Never seen a device that won't let me use a bootable usb drive. Any ideas why it doesn't want to boot up and install windows on my main ssd?
