Failed setup via USB connection
Failed setup via USB connection
Black screen displaying a white underscore in the top left corner. Inside the Windows installer, I successfully accessed BIOS and boot menu. The problem appears to be related to starting a drive. This happened after swapping an SSD into the new system. Everything was working until the swap occurred. I still see the same black screen with a white underscore. I've tried disabling CSM, secure boot, fast boot settings, and confirmed UEFI is enabled. I’m unsure if it’s a CPU or motherboard issue, but I don’t have access to tested replacement parts. I’ve done everything possible except updating the BIOS.
It seems you're exploring different approaches to troubleshoot the issue. Clearing the CMOS and trying a fresh boot without other modifications could help identify if the problem lies with Windows configuration. Booting from an Ubuntu ISO might reveal whether the issue is specific to Windows settings. Since the board appears to be a gigabyte model, dual BIOS support reduces the risk of complications.
I attempted to reset the CMOS, but the problem continues. I also tried updating the BIOS, yet it doesn’t work. The BIOS file is present on the drive, but it’s not recognized—only folders that no longer exist are detected. I replayed the tutorials to double-check, but I’m certain I didn’t make a mistake. It seems the motherboard might be faulty. My friend suggested using Linux, though I doubt it would help because the system won’t boot at all and doesn’t solve the BIOS flashing issue. This definitely points to a defective motherboard.
