I have a Predator tower from a few years ago that has been in the box until recently. Hooked it up, and it doesn't boot! I just get the message in the photo. I've changed the boot devices at the BIOS level, but no luck. It has win10 installed and I've even tried booting from win11 usb thumb drive.

Specs:
Acer Desktop Computer Predator G3-710-UC11
Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700 (3.60 GHz)
32 GB DDR4
1 TB HDD 256 GB SSD
Windows 10 Home 64-Bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB GDDR5
SNID XXXX

Thanks!

    Hi, you can try replacing the HDD and RAM modules. There is no way you can install Windows11 with a 7th Gen CPU. The BIOS has not been updated by Acer in 7 years and Windows10 will end support in October 2025, consider migrating to a Windows11 PC rather than trying to fix this 9 year old desktop.

    Your storage device, either HDD or SSD, is either corrupt or doesn't have the appropriate UEFI files on the EFI partition. Enable the boot menu and boot from a Windows installer, then use the Repair option to look at the drive.
