Since buying this NUC yesterday i'm having nothing but problems. I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 from a USB device but get the "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device". Here's what i've done so far: -
- After assembling the NUC, I turned it on and pressed F2 to go into the BIOS
- In the Boot Order, I unchecked UEFI to turn it off, leaving Legacy checked
- Under the Legacy tab, I moved the USB device up to first
- Saved and booted
I get the following message on the screen after it re-boots -
"PXE-E61 media test failure, check cable Intel NUC"
"PXE-M0F Exiting Intel Boot Agent"
Then I get -
"Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device"
Here's the thing - my SSD drive, memory and USB device all show up and are recognized by the BIOS. I have a feeling the boot order is somehow booting to PXE boot first, so I went in and disabled network boot and I still get the "reboot and select proper device" message.
My BIOS version is as follows, not sure if this is needed: RYBDW135.86A.0350.2015.0812.1722
So, what do I do here? If I can't resolve in the next two days i'll probably just return the NUC and buy a laptop that works out of the box, I'm going to be needing a working machine here really soon. Hoping someone can help.
Thanks
