Hi. A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my entire computer. Been using windows 10 fine. I usually leave my computer to sleep, but last night when I turned it off completely it wouldn't boot up at all.

 

 

Booting into the SSD shows flashing underscores followed by a black screen. 

I know that the windows and SSD are fine because when I plug in my SSD into another computer, my version of Windows works fine.

I've googled this issue a lot and everyone's solution comes down to enabled CSM in the bios, which has not worked for me. I'll attach of photo of what this looks like.

 

The motherboard I am using is TUF B360-PRO. In my opinion it should be some setting or something wrong with the motherboars since I know my SSD works in another computer.

Please let me know if there is any other relevant information to give, and thanks soo much for anyone that can help... Quite a desperate situation..

Cheers


Ps. Specs are: 
Motherboard Asus tuf b360-pro
CPU: i5 8400
Gpu: gtx 660
Power supply: Corsair cx 650M
Ram: Ddr4 8gb
SSD Samsung 850 evo

You can try changing the boot order to "Windows Boot Manager" or something similar in the BIOS first.

Should this come up as one of the bootable device in the bios? Have not found anything like that in the bios.

 

Thanks for the help

If you installed Windows in UEFI Boot mode, yes.

If it is an old Installation from a non EFI Installation, no.

 

In that Case you just choose the Disk.

I'm not sure if I installed windows in UEFI boot mode, but I installed windows 10 from a usb recently.

 

There is no boot manager so I assume it must be a non EFI installation. I choose the disk for bootup but I get flashing underscores with no windows (meaning no bootable device found apparently) and that's it.

 

Thanks for any help with this.
