Hi,

Recently I made a new PC build with:
-MSI Z270-A Pro
-MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G
-Intel Core i5-7500 Boxed
-Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15

All brand new. Sadly I'm experiencing 2 problems I hope anyone can help me with:

- PC doesn't give a BIOS screen when Videocard is plugged in (or any screen at all for that matter). When I unplug the Videocard I get a screen output and BIOS.
Checked the Videocard in another systeem, there the Videocard worked just fine.

When I try to boot my own system without Videocard:

- Motherboard doesn't boot Windows 10, I tried multiple things:
* Making a bootable USB with the Microsoft 'MediaCreationTool';
* Making a bootable USB with ISO (from CreationTool) and with rufus;
* Making a bootable USB with the MSI Smart Tool;
* Making a bootable USB with the Microsoft 'MediaCreationTool' on another USB stick;
* Swapping new (empty) SSD, for old SSD with former Windows installation on it.

Each time I let it auto-select the booting source, I get the following error message on a blue screen:

- The application or operating system couldn’t be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
File:\windows\system32\winload.exe
Errorcode 0xc0000225

If I select the booting source manually (with the MSI Smart Tool created bootable), I get a couple of different black error screens:

- File:\efi\microsoft\boot\memtest.efi
Status: 0xc0000428
Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature fort his file

- File:\windows\system32\hal.dll
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: The operating system couldn’t be loaded because the HAL is missing or contains errors.

- File:\ windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Status: 0xc0000221
Info: The operating system couldn’t be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors.

- File:\windows\system32\boot\winload.efi
Status: 0xc0000221
Info: The file is possible corrupt. Its header checksum does not match the computed checksum.


Anyone got a solution?

Found the issue (company who sold the components to me gave me the solution). X.M.P. should have been turned on. Fixed all the issues.

Thanks for responding!
