So one day I turn my computer off, get some rest, come back, and just as I turn it on I notice ive been waiting on the post screen for awhile.. you know, the one where it's like "press this key to enter bios" and what-not. So anyways, I try entering the bios, but I guess that would require me to get past the screen... After awhile I just turn the system off and back on! It gives me some error about turning the PC off while it was booting, I continue. Now it says I have to enter bios to make sure it's okay and stuff. Anyways I get the idea to boot directly to the SSD from inside the bios, it works fine. Everytime I turn my computer on the same thing happens, can't figure out why. The indicator light for a boot problem turns on when it's stuck on the screen.

Ryzen 5 5500

16gb 3200mhz cl16 ram (oc'd to 3533)
240gb patriot m.2 (boot)
500gb Samsung 860 Evo (games)

Make sure the boot priority is setup correctly in the BIOS

#

Or, just reset BIOS to defaults

Everything seemed to be setup right last I checked

#

But I guess it could be worth double checking

Seems right to me, still not working though..

Did you reset to defaults?

I'll try that now

#

Hmm, seemed to work, but I do wonder what caused the issue..
