I just upgraded my computer, everything except the HDD(1)/SDD(2) and GPU are new. I switched from Intel to AMD, so I did a USB Media Creation tool to wipe all the old drivers just to be safe. Everything was going fine, it was walking me through the installation, I had to convert a drive to GPT/MBR (I forget which I needed) and cleared a drive, everything seemed to be going smoothly. I stepped away for 20 minutes or so and came back to a black screen, no signal input. I heard it can take a WHILE for fresh installs so I left it overnight, still nothing. I tried switching DVI/HDMI from mobo/GPU, nothing works. I tried unplugging main power for 60+ seconds and disconnecting ethernet and peripherals, nothing.
The only thing I can think of that might be an issues, or didn't go as planned is I didn't know which drive I was previously using as my boot/windows drive. I have two 250gb SDD, would it matter if i wiped and installed onto the wrong drive? Not sure this would prevent video signal but I thought I would mention it.
Does anyone have any clue here?
TIA
