Server Boot - Black Screen/BIOS

[stephenmoore33]

Several months back, I was troubleshooting an Unraid issue and ended up resetting my BIOS settings to default.

Fast forward to now, my server works as expected. Except after a reboot. 

 

When I reboot my server, it does not immediately boot into my Unraid flash drive. Instead, will sit in a blank-black screen or immediately go into the BIOS. 

 

The only way to fix it is to unplug the Unraid flash drive, and plug into a different USB port. I'm sure it's a simple setting somewhere in my BIOS, but I cannot figure it out and hope someone might have a suggestion for me.

Each and every time after a clean shut down or reboot. It does not matter the USB port.

Thank you,

Try disabling fast boot.

Thanks for the reply. However, FastBoot is disabled already.

And you've tried all the different USB port modes in BIOS?

Can you please elaborate a little more? I've tried with and without Legacy USB support enabled. Also, all USB ports are enabled in the BIOS.

Different motherboards have different settings exposed, I don't know what options you have available. Exhaustively go through each CMOS item and subitem, sometimes advanced settings are hidden under sub menus.

Some things to try:

Disable secure boot

Disable TPM 2.0

Disable CSM
