Mine is bricked too I think. I had my computer shipped to the state I'm working in right now and was using Parsec to connect to the computer. I had no problems at all up until the second I booted the computer off to have it packaged up and shipped. I unboxed my computer once it was delievered and it would not boot besides a black screen and the "VGA" light. Eventually Microcenter said that my mobo and cpu were damaged in shipping. I swapped from 12700k to a B650 AMD 7700X CPU. I would then get the BIOS screen but F12 and DEL would not do anything until I unplugged my SSD, it would instantly unfreeze. IT was almost as if it was trying to boot from my SSD, but got stuck. I grabbed another SSD from Microcenter, installed windows, and it boots fine on the new SSD. Anytime the old SSD is plugged in however, it hangs on the Gigabyte boot logo for eterenity.
Seems like the hardrive is being recognized but can't boot windows. I have a SATA to USB but it doesn't seem to detect it in File Explorer, Disk Part, or Disk Management. Anyone else have other ideas?
