I loaded into Windows 10 on my computer for the first time in a while because my PC was giving problems. The first time, it loaded it, no problems. I noticed it was taking very long to load in, but I didn't bother with it.The next time i booted into Windows, it gave me a black screen with a cursor.i couldn't open task manager or anything else, so i made an installation drive, and tried to re-download Windows 10 from it to the drive, but that didn't work either. I cleared and formatted the drive and tried again, nothing happened. I have reset the cmos and everything, nothing. I had a new gpu plugged in, but when windows loaded, it was plugged in. Anyone know the problem?
Hope you're files are backed up on external media because you wiped the drive.
How did you reset BIOS?
What color is the power button when it won't boot? And is it steady or blinking?
What's an "installation drive"? Do you mean a USB stick? How did you create it and Is it bootable? Are you connecting the "installation drive" to PC with power off, and then powering on and tapping F12 to open the boot menu? Be specific...
I reset the bios with the two pin jumpers. The power button is white when it wont boot, and it is steady. Yes, i mean a usb stick, and I created it through a friends computer. I have been booting from it since I created it trying to fix the issue. Im connecting through the F12 boot location menu, and most of the files I cleared were either re-downloadable or unimportant. I also may have been able to fix it through the usb, but im not saying for sure until it finishes loading the files for installation.

SATA operation should be set to AHCI not RAID
