I just built a new PC. I was able to install windows with almost no issues. The problem is whenever I restart the computer it won't boot up, it will just go to a dark screen. I then have to force it to shut down before starting it again and the BIOS comes up. From there I can boot the SSD to make windows start normally. How can I fix this so it starts normally? In the BIOS I have the SSD as the boot priority. My components are as follows:

Motherboard- ASUS ROG STRIX B250F
SSD- SanDisk Ultra II 240GB

Thank you for any help you can provide!

Is there a choice in boot priority for windows boot manager as that should be the top

try running start up repair
change boot order so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info


you shouldn't need this but see if it helps
change boot order so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose command prompt
We need to use the Bootrec.exe tool. Click on command prompt and type in the following commands, one after the other:
bootrec /RebuildBcd...

bootrec /RebuildBcd
bootrec /fixMbr
bootrec /fixboot
Exit

Now go ahead and reboot your system. In some cases you may need to run some additional commands.
bootsect /nt60 SYS or bootsect /nt60 ALL
