[SOLVED] PC won't POST after removing SSD containing Windows 10 ?

[Deioxity]

Hello, I've been having a issue si ce last night with my pc not POSTing due to me removing my ssd that boots up everything including windows. You see before this all happened i was trying to change my motherboard settings to switch to windows 11. I was asked to enable UEFI boot option and secure boot. I managed to enable UEFI Boot but for some reason my pc was just booting straight to the windows log in. I couldn't get secure boot enabled because of this.

So i removed my ssd to try and force my pc to display the MSI pro series logo with the bios keys but it didn't so i plugged the ssd back in and that's where the issue began. My monitors don't get any signal at all but everything else works inside the case including the GPU.

I'm sure my pc still loads into windows login as my keyboard lights go off for a split second then back on when the login screen normally loads up. I removed my ram to see if that would do anything and checked all the cables inside they are all fine. My MB does have a CMOS button on the back buti haven't tried that or removing the battery. Hopefully this all makes sense.

SPECS
CPU: AMD Ryzen 2700X
GPU: Palit GTX 980TI
PSU: EVGA 750QG
MB: MSI B450 Pro-A Max
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200mhz
Storage: Cruical 2,5inch 2TB SATA SSD & Seagate 2TB HDD

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard, after you've disconnected the system from the wall and the monitor. Replace the CMOS battery after 30 minutes. As for your OS, you should ideally install your OS while on UEFI mode, not CSM). Furthermore, what BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? Once you've successfully logged into Windows GUI after enabling UEFI, you will be able to reboot then enable Secure Boot in BIOS.
