How can i bypass Press F1 to boot

Exraa · ‎12-26-2023

Hi, i plugged the USB 3.0 Cable out of the Motherboard because i didnt have enough space for my new graphics card. But now everytime i boot it asks me : Press F1 to Boot. I tried the communities solution (the answers) but they still didnt fix it!

Unfortunately you answered your own question with the very first statement you made.

Plug whatever USB 3.0 cable you unplugged back in. After the USB 3.0 connector, not cable, is plugged back in, remove the video card and power on to see if all is normal. If it is, you will have to make some hard decisions.

Are you aware that you said you tried everything and did not take the time to state what you tried?

You do remember that I said you will have some hard choices to make?

It is unfortunate that you chose a large graphics card to put in a small PC.

It is all about the space.

i will just buy a adapter

What kind of adapter?

They come in many sizes and types and are used for many devices, even power supply connectors.

I am looking at an image of the motherboard and the only USB 3.0 connectors I see are on the edge of the motherboard that are blue colored.

USB 3 angled adapter

Unfortunately, that really does not tell me much.

How about providing some context.

Where and what was the original USB 3.0 connector you unplugged, plugged into?

I am looking at an image of the MS- 7826 v 1.0 motherboard and the blue USB 3.0 headers I see are on the edge of the board below the RTC battery and the first PCI2 x1 slot. The video card should be in the PCIe x16 slot to the right.
