I set up a brand new PC yesterday and everything booted up fine initially. However, after turning it off for the night, I tried to power it on today and encountered a black screen with a white cursor in the top left corner. I've already unplugged all peripherals, reset the CMOS, and checked the GPU and RAM seating. Now, when I turn it on, I'm just getting black screens and can't access the BIOS or do anything else. Does anyone have tips or advice on how to troubleshoot this? Here are my specs:
- Motherboard: MSI B650
- GPU: MSI 5070TI
- CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3d
- RAM: 2x16GB DDR5
Thanks in advance!

Try disconnecting your SSD and powering on the PC again. This can help you determine if the issue is related to the SSD or just a sign of a deeper problem. If you still get that underscore or a black screen, then it’s likely not just the storage causing the boot issue.
What do I do after disconnecting the SSD? Should I be looking for any other specific indicators of what might be wrong? It’s a bit confusing to get all these steps in line.
