[SOLVED] No peripherals working

[Psychotherapist]

I recently installed an old HDD in a fully functional working PC. I took the old 250g HDD out and placed an old Seagate Barracuda 2tb HDD with the plan to format a fresh windows 10 installation. After all was hooked up I placed windows 10 disk in and I booted it up. It did not ask me to press any key to run disk drive. It instantly wanted to do a windows 10 repair which told me there was an old windows 10 installation on the drive. So I let it repair and when it got to 2% it black screened and that bring me to here today. I have tried many methods to make peripherals work but no luck. Cmos battery, reseating all parts etc.

I have no access to see the Bois. No peripherals are working. Cannot see the monitor.

Already did. No avail. To be honest this is the second PC that this has happened too with that HDD. I pulled it from an AMD build that got corrupted and assumed that the AMD build motherboard was on its way out. But I had the same symptoms. No peripherals working. So weird.

Everything seems to point towards the HDD

In the beginning the AMD build was fine untill I attempted to update Nvidia drivers. That's where this all began.

Should be able to get to bios if you unplug all hdd.

Ok....I am gonna try right now. Thanks man for quick response.

No luck. Still nothing in the world of monitor keyboard and mouse working. Typically when you have no HDD attached, it goes right to the Bois. Typically you can do what you need to do in the bios and then push the power button down to shut down PC. I have done it many times but with no HDD installed, it must not go into bios because after I push power button it doesn't shut down. Obviously I can't see because of the peripherals not working but still. I should shutdown. But it doesn't. I can only hard shut it down. It's currently on but nothing is working.
