literally pulling my hair out over this... cannot for the life of me figure what’s going on. My PC is totally stuck at the splash/post screen unless I unplug my SSD. Unplugging both SSD and HDD gives me the American Megatrends screen where I can hit F1 and actually access my bios, but obviously there are not drives Connected.. If I press f2/del(bios buttons) upon start up, the System will access the bios after about 8 minutes (no joke, not exaggerating, literally 8 minutes) At the point, the system recognizes both drives, but exiting the bios after the drives are recognized results in no post... also when finally getting into the bios, Even though the 2 drives are recognized on the Main screen they are not recognized on the boot priority what so ever... did windows corrupt itself? Did my 860 die? I really do not understand what’s going on here.
things I’ve tried:
All 4 ram dimms in all 4 different dimm slots
Reseated all cables including sata power/data
Reseated GPU/ removed it
CMOS Clear 3-4times
