Installing windows, BIOS Safe Mode HELP!

While installing windows on a new machine yesterday l, I managed to download windows to my SSD. When it restarted I accidentally kept the windows USB in the bios slot in so windows start up ran again and it booted up. Since I already copied it to the drive I hard restated my computer, took out the USB, and restarted the computer.

 

it goes straight to Safe Bios Mode and nothing I press gets me past this screen. I tried resetting my cmos and took out the battery and put it back in. I took my ram out and reinstalled it. I also took out my SSD and tried to boot without it and still the same issue.

 

did I break my motherboard?! Is there any fixes?

 

check image to see the screen I’m stuck on.

Seems that no drives are being detected. Unplug all drives and just leave your boot drive in the pc. See if that works

Update: got the same message when taking out all drives. Can’t press F1 to continue. 

Clear CMOS. Motherboard manual has instructions for it.
