So I have been having this issue where my PC will not complete the boot process and and the VGA light on the motherboard illuminates and I get a black screen. I made a previous post on this forum that goes into more detail about the issue, but after weeks of trouble shooting, I have found the cause. After owning the PC for about 6 months I purchased an external hard drive (WD 2TB HDD) and made the connection in my mind that this is roughly when the issue started to occur. Whenever the drive is disconnected from the case or motherboard, the machine boots up fine. When connected, I get a EZ-Debug light and a black screen. The simple solution is to not boot the machine with the drive connected, but I do not want that. I want it to boot with it connected. So I have tried to reformat the drive, change the boot order in the BIOS, BIOS updates, but still no luck. Any suggestions on how I could resolve this issue? Any help will be appreciated!!
