I swapped my HDD for a new M.2 NVME SSD. Before doing this, I made a bootable USB drive. After unplugging the hard drive with Windows, installing the NVME SSD, and plugging in the USB drive, I turned on the PC but the monitor screen stayed black. It didn't show any keys to access the BIOS or attempt to load from the USB. When I plug the HDD back in, the PC works fine and boots into Windows, though it's slow because of the HDD.
I've tried reseating the CPU, RAM, and GPU, and I've ensured all cables are properly connected. I have no idea why I can't access the BIOS or use Windows to get into the UEFI settings. It offers the option to enter UEFI advanced settings, but it doesn't actually let me into the BIOS. Can anyone help?
