I installed an SSD about a month ago and for about 3 days everything booted fine, and was extremely fast. Out of no where, my motherboard shorted out and I had to get it replaced through dell warranty. For the past couple of weeks, I have had to endure boot times of about 4 minutes, since replacing my motherboard. I decided to try and fix it a couple days ago and I have had no luck. Every time I try and restart to my bios screen or restart to UEFI settings screen, my monitor goes to sleep and does not wake. Also, I get a black screen with no splash screen upon powering on; pretty much goes straight to lock screen about 4-5 minutes later. Using the same monitor at one point I was able to get into bios, so I'm running out of solutions. A list of a few things I have done:
1. Took the battery out of my motherboard, waited about 3 minutes then replaced. Restarts to completely black screen.
2. I have an Asus monitor, connected through HDMI, so I switched it to a VGA port to see maybe it would read it then, no luck
3. Updated bios
4. Updated all system drivers including GPU drivers.
There is more actually, but I googled so much and tried so many different things, I actually don't remember everything I have done. This is actually bad, because I did do a few registry edits to "optimize" windows 10 on my ssd.
My setup:
Dell Xps 8900
intel i7-6700 3.4GHz
1 TB Seagate HDD
Samsung Evo 250 GB M.2 SSD
Sapphire Nitro Radeon R9 380 4 GB
EVGA 700W PSU
Windows 10 64 bit
24 GB Ram- 16 Gb crucial and 8 Gb whatever ships with dell.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
