My computer is a few years old but the last few days I have had a problem where it will not always boot. It is ever since I tried to activate secure boot I ended up down some rabbit hole and converted my SSD from MBR to GPT which I needed to do as when I deactivated legacy in the BIOS the system couldn't see the drive. I did also end up updating the BIOS firmware but that update was released October last year and I can't find that the problem has occured for anyone else.
The problem is the computer won't boot if I select the restart option in the OS or if I restart it using the case button while it's running fine. It won't even boot if it is powered down for extended periods of time and then I press the power button. THe only way I can get it to boot to the BIOS/OS is by turning it on waiting then pressing the reset button on the case. Otherwise I get nothing but a black screen, the computer turns on and the lights on the MoBo turn on as normal but nothing comes up no BIOS entry, OS or anything.
My Specs are:
Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max MoBo
Nvidia Geforce 6GB Graphics card
I don't think it's a hardware issue as once it's on it runs perfectly I even left it on all last night just to make sure.
I tried resetting the BIOS by removing the battery and that didn't work even though it's put me back into legacy mode.
The only solutions I can think of is to restore from a backup I put on a removable HDD a few weeks ago or by converting my SSD back to MBR.
Will either of these work? Do you guys have any other suggestions?
Many thanks for any and all help.
