I recently assembled a new PC. The only change from the previous setup was the SSD I transferred from an older system. I’m encountering a black screen when Windows attempts to locate the video drivers. I’ve tried DDU, removed the driver from Device Manager, and updated via GeForce Experience. Restarting Windows didn’t resolve the problem. The video card is connected, but the screen remains black. I can boot into safe mode and use it as a basic display adapter without issues. It seems the issue only appears when Windows finds the driver or installs it. When I placed the SSD in the old system, it worked fine there. I’m considering a Windows reset to see if that fixes it, but the problem persists during installation. I plan to wait a while before shutting it down to ensure everything boots correctly.

System specs: I5-10400f, 2x8GB DDR4 2666MHz, MSI H510i Pro WiFi motherboard, GTX1660 Ti, Samsung Evo 850, 500GB SSD.
