Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.

I unplugged my external hard drive to move it to another computer. As soon as I unplugged it, my monitor went blank. Now, when I go to power my computer on, it will display the Arsenal Gaming graphic, then just go to a blank, black screen.

List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.

I tried plugging it back in to check if it would start with it plugged in-no dice.

I've checked the boot order in the BIOS & my internal SSD is listed first, as it should be.

I'm really not sure what else to do, I figured it was a boot order issue. It worked just fine for months, I've had it built for a while now & this is the first issue, so there's nothing incorrectly connected as far as I know.

Provide any additional details you wish below.
