Howdy!
I bought a new SSD yesterday and set it up into my PC, so in my computer I have an SSD and an HDD and both of them are half a terabyte. I installed Windows 10 on my new SSD and it was working completely fine, until today I tried to open the computer and it didn't boot up. When it tries to boot up , it shows merely a black screen with what is called a blinking cursor just like in the image below:

I opened up the BIOS and made sure that both of the drives are connected and are in order (that is, the SSD in SATA#1 and the HDD in SATA#2). I tried booting up manually from the SSD, but it was still not working. I tried unplugging the HDD thinking it was the problem and tried booting up again, this time the screen was black for 1-2 seconds and then it redirected me back to the BIOS.
My motherboard is ASUS H81M-K, and I'm using my SSD with SATA and NOT PCIe.
I have no clue on what is causing this problem, although it was working completely fine yesterday. So if you know the solution, don't hesitate to post it here.
Thanks in advance!
