Hi
A friend has just built a new system based on the following:
Ryzen 7 5800
MSI x750 Tomahawk wifi
and a 6800 GPU
[edit]A seasonic 850 watt PSU.[/edit]
He's having an issue where if he boots from USB to install windows onto the drive (he's tried an M2 and a normal SATA SSD) it'll load fine and install windows etc, but if he turns it off it'll then simply show a black screen, until he resets using the button and can get into the bios.
He can not then get into windows until he reinstalls it.
When he's just installed windows it'll let him install stuff, watch videos etc and run fine until he turns it off.
It doesn't appear to be memory related (it shows the correct amount and I'd expect at least an error message).
It doesn't appear to be drive related as such, as it's happening with two very different drives, but allowed windows to be installed on them.
I don't think it's CPU related because again it's booted up and installed windows.
My guess at the moment is it's possibly related to secure boot/windows boot/the EUFI settings but I'm stumped (and about 150 miles away from him).
