[SOLVED] SSD won't boot and monitor is saying no input.

[jerestrella]

I built a new gaming PC with only an SSD. It's running Windows 10. It worked fine for everything.

I decided to install an old HDD. This was running Windows 7. I wanted to use this for secondary storage, and too have all my old files from my previous PC.

When I reconnected all the cables and started the PC, Windows wouldn't boot and monitor displayed no input.

I disconnected the old HDD, in hopes it would go back to normal, but now it still won't boot.

I figure that some programs and softwares messed with the boot up process.

Is there anyway to fix this issue? The monitor still displays no input when powering on the tower.

Power off the unit, switch the PSU off and unplug the PSU cord from either the wall or the power supply.

Remove the motherboard CMOS battery for five minutes. During that five minutes, press the power button for 30 seconds. After the five minutes is up, reinstall the CMOS battery making sure to insert it with the correct side up just as it came out.

Now, plug the power supply cable back in, switch the PSU back on and power up the system. It should display the POST screen and the options to enter CMOS/BIOS setup. Enter the bios setup program and reconfigure the boot settings for either the Windows boot manager or for legacy systems, the drive your OS is installed on if necessary.

Save settings and exit. If the system will POST and boot then you can move forward from there including going back into the bios and configuring any other custom settings you may need to configure such as Memory XMP profile settings, custom fan profile settings or other specific settings you may have previously had configured that were wiped out by resetting the CMOS.

If the system will not POST after resetting the CMOS, then there is a hardware problem of some kind.
