I can't get my ASus MiniPC to boot It's an Asus PN50-E1

It worked for weeks, but now the bios is saying in a big orange banner, that the firmware or operating system is changed, the bios was written by American Megatrends V2.00. This could mean It's detected a change in the OS, I have updated it but that would mean to update I'd have to reinstall. I suppose if I partition the disk with /user it might work, then the / partition doesn't have programs I think if I re-install with a /user partition it should sidestep that problem.

When you flash your BIOS, in most cases some settings are changed. The Banner sounds like that Secure Boot got turned on. Enter your BIOS settings and disable Secure Boot and (Windows)Fast Boot.

Thanks, I'll look at secure boot and (Windows) fast boot and see they're off

I did re install creating 4 more partitions, but I made sure windows fast boot and secure boot is off.
