The Pi worked well for 4-5 days before this issue. I’ve included the BIOS details above for both scenarios. Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated as I’ve exhausted all the usual troubleshooting steps.
Thank you for your time and assistance!
Update on Raspberry Pi 5 Boot Issue:
There’s a new development in the boot behavior of my Raspberry Pi 5. The device now enters a loop where:
The LED starts green for about 1 second.
It then turns red for 1 second.
Subsequently, it goes off and restarts this cycle repeatedly.
This looping occurs only when a bootable medium with compatible OS (either a USB or MicroSD) is present. Without a bootable medium, the LED remains solid green. I’m increasingly concerned this might be a hardware issue, given the persistence of the problem and its evolution over time. Any further assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again for your continued support.
