Welcome to the forum! :vulcan_salute:

First of all, we generally do not offer advice on what hardware to buy, because of Manjaro’s own partnerships with several hardware vendors. So we can only advise their products.

This is probably easily remedied. A firmware upgrade commonly wipes the EFI variables, and this is easily restored by reinstalling the boot loader from a chroot session running off the live USB. It would be a shame to throw away a perfectly good motherboard because of something as simple as that.

Boot up from the Manjaro live USB, open up a terminal window, and enter the following commands… :point_down:

sudo -i
manjaro-chroot -a
pacman -Syu install-grub
install-grub
update-grub

After this you should be able to boot up into Manjaro again.

after update bios , all setup has been reset ,
you need to

  • disable Secure Boot
  • disable enable fastboot (BIOS option)
  • disable Windows Fast Startup (if enabled)
  • disable CSM
  • all disks on AHCI
  • no legacy

you can boot with USB live iso manjaro ,
go in chroot and redo grub-install ( or create entry in efibootmgr )

see GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader - Manjaro

Mod edit:- Corrected and added to your instructions. No charge.

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

XY Problem detected.

You do not need a new motherboard because your PC is not booting. BIOS and operating systems are always recoverable.

If you would like help with that, please create a new topic after reviewing the following:
