7920 boot issue ( flexbay nvme)

I have an issue with a 7920 which was working until I messed about with it ๐Ÿ˜• may own bad . 

Now I'm stumped and looking for an assist.. I fitted the rear four HDD setup and fitted non original to the spec nvme carriers flex bays on the front. 

Have eventually got the thing working. 

Except .. 

Crucially 

It won't boot from power up ...

It will boot IF

You choose to select the device as you would say you were choosing to boot from dvd / usb etc

Otherwise it goes into diagnostics  

Very frustrating.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have taken every non essential thing out of the pc except it's graphics card ( which I've actually borrowed for another meantime) .

Ps has anyone ever worked out how to get the rebar thing working on a 7920

Many thanks

This sounds like a broken UEFI boot entry rather than a hardware issue.

When you added the NVMe flex bays, the system likely stopped seeing โ€œWindows Boot Managerโ€ correctly, so it drops into diagnostics unless you manually pick the drive.

Check BIOS: Set boot mode to UEFI only, Put Windows Boot Manager first (not the NVMe device itself), If itโ€™s missing, rebuild the boot entry using a Windows USB repair (bcdboot usually fixes it)

ReBAR on the 7920 is possible, but only with modded BIOS + compatible GPU, and results vary.
