Hi everyone, good evening. I'm in real misery by now. Yesterday I built a PC with i3-10100, Biostar m510m/x Motherboard, 8 GB RAM and 120 GB SSD. After that when I installed windows 10 I was able to use it till power off. When I power on then it stuck on bios screen. Then I reinstalled windows 10 and able to use it with no problem until power off. when I power on again it stuck on bios screen.

its happening and happening. how to solve this problem? please help
 
Is the drive detected in the BIOS?
Did you have any other drives (apart from the installation media) connected when installing Windows?

Thanks for your quick response. The SSD is detected in BIOS. If I try to override boot devices with this SSD it goes to blank screen, although this SSD contains Windows 10. Moreover keyboard and mouse stops working in this state.

I have no other drives connected.
 
I would suspect the Motherboard is faulty Or that the SSD isn’t fully connected.
Is this a desktop or a laptop?
If a desktop then can you try another cable for the SSD?
Can you check to see how many partitions the drive has?
Are you running the latest version of Windows?
Are the drivers up to date?

The mobo and ssd both are brand new, so i'm unable to detect which one is faulty. i performed a bios update with no positive result. the ssd is single partitioned and the windows/drivers are up to date. I am confused with the thing that I can use as long as I wish after windows installation but when I unplug the power cable and then reconnect, it got stuck on bios.
 
After clean installing Windows there should be 4 partitions - EFI, system reserved, Windows & Recovery partition. Are you sure it only has 1 partition?
How did you install Windows? Did you boot from the installation USB media, deleted any partitions already on the drive, allowed the installation to create the needed partitions & installed Windows?
Can you boot from the USB media, reach command prompt with admin & check the partitions via diskpart?

sorry, there is actually 4 default partitions as you mentioned. after booting from usb drive, i deleted every partition and clean installed windows. i can boot from usb, but limited. only win 10 and 8 are allowed to boot, no gnu/linux build is opening from usb stick. i tried to install ubuntu several time, but failed. it goes only blank screen
 
Are you dual booting - Win 10 + Win 8?
Do you have all the installation media for Win 10, 8 & Linux on one USB drive? If yes then please try creating the Windows 10 media on its own USB.
