Question Black screen flashing underscore (with working SSD + Win10)

[thechickenadobo]

Hey all,

So I've been using a SSD with Windows 10 installed on it on several motherboards to test boot and benchmark.
Been using it on various motherboard/cpu combo (ryzen/intel).

I've just got a MSI military class ii P67A-GD53 + i3 2120. Hooked everything up, PSU/GPU/SSD - But I'm not able to successfully boot windows. I've gone into the BIOS and loaded optimal setup defaults but no luck, all I get in a Black screen with flashing underscore.

I used the same SSD on another motherboard/cpu bundle (z77-d3h + i5 3570k) and this successfully boots.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

That MSI uses both Marvel and Intel chips for SATA. Make sure the SATA ports you are using are connected to the Intel controller.

I tried on 2 different SATA ports and no luck.

When I get home I'll try each port and see if I get any success.

Thanks

No Luck, tried all ports. Currently took the cmos battery out to clear cmos.

But anymore ideas?

Checking stuff like boot order and legacy boot options.
