Hello all,
I have been tirelessly trying to fix my first computer build which I built with my friends. I seem to have several problems at hand, but most importantly is after the installation of the latest Nvidia graphics drivers and clicking restart, booting into normal mode will result in a blank screen.

2nd thing: I have to manually boot into my SSD where windows is installed since it does not show up in boot priority but in boot menu (right below where boot priority is).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have been deprived of playing video games for many months now. Thanks :)
