  1. It looks like this issue has been posted in the past (~ver 6.5), but I am unable to resolve this. I just upgraded my components (new MB, CPU, etc), and plugged my machine into my monitor. When I turn it on, I see the BIOS boot screen, I can select the Unraid boot options (Unraid, Unraid GUI, Unraid Safe, Unraid Safe GUI, Memtest), and then I see the long text scroll past as it boots up. Once that finishes, it goes to a blank screen, and has a blinking cursor in the top left. I can't type or do anything with it. I had hit ctrl+alt+del once, and that restarted the system (no idea if that's clean, so I haven't done it again), so there must be some input recognized. Also, I can boot into the command line, and have no issues typing in there. But my intention was to use this upgraded machine with a Windows VM as my main desktop as well as my server. So I want to be able to boot into the GUI to launch the VM. Found previous solutions: I saw from these two threads that you can add "nomodeset" to the unraid boot settings. I tried with and without that, and it didn't seem to help. I also saw from this thread about going into the BIOS and checking the CSM & UEFI settings. I enabled CSM, made sure my drives are booting into UEFI, but that didn't seem to do anything either. MB: Z590 Aorus Elite AX CPU: Intel i9-10850k and some snippets from my BIOS boot settings: Windows 10 Features: Other OS *CSM Support: Enabled (This was the second solution above that I tried) LAN PXE Boot Option ROM: Disabled Storage Boot Option Control: UEFI Other PCI devices: UEFI My plan was to use my 10850k iGPU until I can get my hands on a 30-series card. However, I have my old GTX 470 that I have been using in my previous desktop, and I tried plugging that in. But there was no change; I still get the same issues. I tried with and without the "nomodeset". Attached are the diagnostics. Any thoughts? Thank you for your time! tower-diagnostics-20210423-1019.zip
